Benefits of technology

[0006]The present invention is a hand-held isokinetic-exerciser ring which allows for a wider grip and in turn a wider range of exercise.

Problems solved by technology

The workout was limited however, by the user's grip.
The centralized grip with both hands restricted the user's range of motion which in turn reduced the range of exercise.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]Referring now to the invention in more detail, FIG. 1 shows the invention consists of two concentric rings. Furthermore, these concentric rings are strapped together with an elastic cord.

[0014]The rings shown in FIGS. 1 through 6 were constructed as follows. The inner ring has a diameter of 26″. Ideally this diameter should be large enough to fit around a user's waist and / or stomach. The outer ring has a diameter of 38″ which is approximately 150% larger than that of the inner ring. Each ring was constructed of ¾″ electrical-metal-conduit. The conduit was bent into a ring by hand using a standard ¾″-pipe bender. The pipe ends were then joined together with an electrical-conduit coupler to create one rigid ring.

[0015]The strapping shown in FIGS. 1 through 6 was constructed as follows. The strapping used was a ⅜″ rubber cord commonly known as bungee cord. The bungee cord was wrapped around the concentric rings eleven times evenly spaced. The ends of the bungee were then knotted ...

Abstract

The current invention is an isokinetic-exercise ring. Specifically, the invention is comprised of two rigid concentric rings. The inner ring is large enough to fit over a user's shoulders and / or waist. The outer ring is approximately 150% larger in diameter than the inner ring. The two rings are strapped together with elastic cord. A user grasps either inner or outer ring on opposite sides and pulses the invention in and out or in a twisting motion. Pulsing in turn causes the ring not being grasped to oscillate. Oscillation can be achieved in front of, above or around the user's body. By maintaining oscillation, the user will experience an isokinetic exercise.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]Provisional patent by Michael Theuer filed Feb. 12, 2011 entitled “Isokinetic-oscillating-exercise apparatus with a circular shape” granted application Ser. No. 61 / 442,234.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not ApplicableREFERENCE TO SEQUENCE LISTING, A TABLE, OR A COMPUTER PROGRAM LISTING COMPACT DISK APPENDIX[0003]Not ApplicableBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004]The present invention is in the technical field of human fitness equipment. More particularly, it is in the field of fitness equipment that is hand-held and produces an isokinetic exercise. Isokinetic exercise is a resistance-based exercise designed to provide a specific level of resistance while maintaining a consistent speed of limb movement. The idea behind isokinetic exercise is to achieve the highest degree of muscle contraction while also promoting a free range of movement of the limbs.[0005]Prior art in the field of hand-held isokinetic-exe...
