Benefits of technology

[0009] The main objective of the invention is to provide an apparatus for exercising the wrist and forearm muscles that has a raised grip to enhance a gripping effect, and the raised grip can be formed as a ball shape for simulation in training for throwing a ball.

Problems solved by technology

However, because the grip (64) is cylindrical, it provides only a restricted effective surface for gripping.
Furthermore the grip (64) is uncomfortable and inconvenient to hold for the user when using the apparatus to exercise the wrist and forearm muscles because of its restricted surface.

Embodiment Construction

[0016] With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, an apparatus for exercising wrist and forearm muscles in accordance with the present invention comprises a body (30), a grip assembly (10), a pivot bracket (40) and a resistance assembly (50) as previously described in prior art. The body (30) is hollow and has a curved upper portion (31), a curved lower portion (32) and a passage (33). The curved upper and lower portions (31, 32) are integrated together to form the passage (33).

[0017] The resistance assembly (50) is mounted on the curved upper portion (31) of the body (30) to provide a resistance to exercise wrist and forearm muscles as previously described. The pivot bracket (40) is pivotally mounted in the body (30) and connects to the resistance assembly (50). The pivot bracket (40) has two arms (41). Each arm (41) has multiple adjusting holes (42) that are arranged in a row. The rows of the adjusting holes (42) in the arms (41) are aligned with each other.

[0018] The grip assembly (10) i...

Abstract

An apparatus for exercising wrist and forearm muscles includes a hollow body, a resistance assembly, a pivot bracket and a grip assembly. The resistance assembly is mounted on the body to provide a resistance. The pivot bracket is pivotally mounted in the body and connects to the resistance assembly. The grip assembly is mounted in the pivot bracket between the arms and has a shaft mounted on the pivot bracket and a raised grip rotatably mounted on the shaft. The raised grip could be of a baseball configuration, a football configuration and so on to provide a large effective surface for gripping. Therefore, the raised grip is convenient and comfortable to grip while exercising wrist and forearm muscles.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to an apparatus for exercising wrist and forearm muscles, and more particularly to an apparatus for exercising wrist and forearm muscles having a raised grip that is convenient to hold for a user. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] With reference to FIG. 5, an apparatus for exercising wrist and forearm muscles in accordance with the prior art comprises a grip assembly (60) and a spring-loaded resistance assembly (62). The grip assembly (60) comprises a hollow body (61), a pivot bracket (63), a cylindrical grip (64) and a shaft (65). The pivot bracket (63) is pivotally mounted in the body (61). The shaft (65) is mounted on the pivot bracket (63). The grip (64) is mounted rotatably on the shaft (65) so that a person can hold the grip (64) to exercise the wrist and forearm muscles. [0005] The resistance assembly (62) is mounted on the body (61) and comprises a cord (621), a resist...
