Breast sculpting exercise apparatus

Abstract

A breast sculpting exercise apparatus including a pair of pivotally joined primary plates and secondary plates each pivotally connected to one of the primary plates. The secondary plates are biased away from the primary plates and require force to depress. The apparatus has an open configuration, wherein the primary plates rest on a flat surface such that one form of breast sculpting exercise can be performed; and a closed configuration that orients the apparatus in such a way that yet another form of breast sculpting exercise can be performed. Rotatable hand plates with hand straps are disposed on each of the secondary plates and are rotated in accordance with the configuration of the apparatus.

TECHNICAL FIELD [0004] The present invention relates generally to portable exercise apparatus, and more particularly to a breast sculpting exercise apparatus. BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION OF RELATED ART [0005] Gravity is relentless. Aging is inevitable. Together these ineluctable forces wreak havoc on our bodies, wrinkling us, thinning vertebral discs, weakening our bones, making us more susceptible to sickness and disease. But perhaps most vulnerable to the depredations of time and gravity are a woman's breasts. Breasts are, so to speak, out there: out there always, for time to submit to gravity and for gravity to tug and pull and pull and tug. ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0015] The present invention is exercise apparatus particularly adapted for toning and strengthening pectoral muscles and thereby sculpting and improving the shape and overall appearance of the female breast. The apparatus includes a pair of primary plates pivotally connected to one another and secondary plates pivotally connected to one side. In an open configuration, the primary plates rest on a flat surface, such as a table top, so that one form of breast sculpting exercise can be performed, and in a closed configuration the primary plates rest on edge so that yet another form of breast sculpting exercise can be performed. A spring is disposed at the connection between the primary and secondary plates so that force in a generally desirable range is required to depress the secondary plates onto the primary plates or onto a pedestal which stops and limits the range of motion of the secondary plates.

Problems solved by technology

Together these ineluctable forces wreak havoc on our bodies, wrinkling us, thinning vertebral discs, weakening our bones, making us more susceptible to sickness and disease.

But perhaps most vulnerable to the depredations of time and gravity are a woman's breasts.

But such an ideal of questionable wisdom does not describe the actual state of affairs.

However, while offsetting some of the effect of gravity, brassieres do little to change or enhance the immediate appearance of the breasts themselves.

Cosmetic surgery, while providing a quick and sometimes dramatic result, is dangerous, expensive, can result in a bad outcome and / or long term health problems, and invariably results in breasts that no longer feel natural.

Breast appearance cannot be improved by exercising the breasts.

In fact, because breasts do not contain any muscle tissue, breasts cannot actually be exercised at all.

But such a program entails the use of heavy weights and the execution of difficult, strenuous lifts.

It may require the acquisition of a weight set or access to a gym facility, and some of the lifts can be genuinely dangerous if heavy weights are used without a spotter.
