Abstract

An elastic exercise device is provided, which is made of an expanded elastomer that has the strength and elasticity suitable for performing tension-type exercises. The device preferably consists of a single elongated piece or of an endless loop of desired size and shape. The device can have various cross-sectional profiles, such as a fully filled cylindrical configuration, a tubular configuration, an oval or flat band configuration or a multistrand configuration. The device can be made from elastomer materials such as neoprene or polyethylene by extrusion, casting or injection molding.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] This invention relates to an elastic exercise device. In particular, it relates to a tension-type exercise device, such as a cord, band, tube or loop, made of an expanded elastomer material. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Many elastic exercise devices, such as bands, cords, tubes, loops and the like, have been disclosed in the past. Examples of such devices may be seen from U.S. Pat. Nos. 1,663,641; 2,224,103; 3,655,185; 3,807,730; 3,819,177; 3,838,852; 4,019,734; 4,033,580; 4,040,620; 4,059,265; 4,090,706; 4,195,835; 4,121,827; 4,251,071; 4,852,874; 5,614,300; 5,945,060 and 6,287,242. All such exercise devices are made of rubber or similar solid elastomers, and most of them require handles or similar attachments to facilitate their use.

[0003] Due to the type of material used, namely a solid elastomer, the resilient member of the device must be thin enough to provide adequate stretchability in order to perform tension-type exercises. Such resilient...
