Benefits of technology

[0006] The present invention provides an exercise equipment system which is so portable that it can be carried at essentially all times with an individual and which is extremely versatile for performing many different types of exercise movements.

Problems solved by technology

Trying to find time for exercise can be difficult.
Also difficult is trying to find exercise equipment which fits with fast paced lifestyles.
Most exercise equipment is not particularly portable.
However, even these somewhat portable pieces of equipment are not sufficiently small for an individual to take with them on something like a daily trip or the like.
The spring exercise described above although good for the particular type of exercises that they are capable of performing are relatively limited in the number of different exercises that can be performed.
This is because the springs are relatively short and they are not designed to stretch around support objects which could be required for some exercises such as bench pressing and the like.
However, this rubber tube exerciser is once again limited in its uses because it only has one type of hand grip which as earlier described is permanently secured to opposite ends of the tube.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]FIG. 1 shows a piece of exercise equipment which is based on an elastic strap 1. This strap is fitted with a pair of rigid collars 3 at spaced apart locations along the strap.

[0019] The fitting of each of the rigid collars 3 to the strap is better seen having reference to FIGS. 2 and 3 of the drawings. Collar 3 which preferably has a strong plastic or a metal construction is held in position by a loop 5 of the strap 1 which wraps around collar 3. A clip 7 is used to tightly synch the loop of strap 1 onto collar 3.

[0020]FIG. 3 shows that collar 3 in the preferred embodiment has a cylindrical shape. Strap 1 in the preferred embodiment has a wide flat rectangular configuration. The preferably rubber construction of strap 1 is such that the rubber material of the strap when tightly stretched around collar 3 has a high co-efficient of friction contact with the collar to firmly secure the collar with the strap.

Abstract

An exercise equipment system is formed by an elastic strap having a pair of rigid collars fitted to the strap at spaced apart locations along the strap. Also included in the system are a plurality of grip components which removably mount to the strap at the collars.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to an exercise equipment system built around an elastic strap and different grip components to removably mount to the strap. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Taking time to exercise is becoming more and more important with today's hectic lifestyle. Trying to find time for exercise can be difficult. Also difficult is trying to find exercise equipment which fits with fast paced lifestyles. Most exercise equipment is not particularly portable. There are of course things such as treadmills and the like which can be folded sufficiently small to store in a closet or under a bed. However, even these somewhat portable pieces of equipment are not sufficiently small for an individual to take with them on something like a daily trip or the like. [0003] There are presently available much smaller pieces of exercise equipment. For example, one piece of equipment that is known and is relatively popular is the hand held spring equipment....
