Benefits of technology

[0003]The present invention provides an automatic coiling wrist strap for use in lifting heavy loads. The wrist strap has a loop that is securely placed around the weight lifter's wrist. A coiling length extends away from the loop and automatically coils around the bar or handle of the load to be lifted by the user. The invention is configured so that the user's hand can fit over the coiling length and secure, by friction or pressure, the apparatus to the bar or handle of the load. In this manner, the present invention provides a more secure connection between the lifter and the load that can be quickly and easily engaged or released from the load.

Problems solved by technology

During weight lifting, a common safety concern arises when the weight bar or handle becomes slippery due to perspiration from the person exercising.
In some cases, heavy weights can slip out of the hands of the user and pose a danger to the weight lifter as well as to people nearby.
In addition, muscle fatigue in the hands and fingers of the person exercising could cause the weight lifter to lose his grip and inadvertently drop the weights.

Embodiment Construction

[0008]Referring to FIGS. 1-3, the present invention provides a strap (10) formed from athletic webbing. Strap (10) should be of a length sufficient to provide the looping and coiling functions described below. Strap (10) has a noose portion (14) and an opposite coiling portion (12). A noose (20) is formed in strap (10) by looping the distal end of noose portion (14) back over strap (10) and affixing it in position by sewing or otherwise securing the distal end of noose portion (14) to strap (10). Once noose (20) is formed, the stretched flat length of strap (10) should be from 16 to 20 inches in length, preferably 17 inches.

[0009]The coiling feature of the present invention is accomplished by inserting a resilient, yet pliable, coiling material (30) into the distal end of coiling portion (12) of strap (10). Such coiling materials are well known in the art and including commercially available “snap straps” commonly found in decorative wrist bands and bracelets, watch bands, and other...

Abstract

A wrist strap for weight lifting and exercising is provided. The present invention relates to a wrist strap with automatic coiling features. The wrist strap of the present invention can be used to increase a person's lifting capacity. The wrist strap allows the user to more safely lift heavy loads without losing one's grip.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a wrist strap for weight lifting and exercising. The invention also has application to technology outside of traditional weight lifting exercises, where the user needs additional gripping security for lifting heavy loads.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]During weight lifting, a common safety concern arises when the weight bar or handle becomes slippery due to perspiration from the person exercising. In some cases, heavy weights can slip out of the hands of the user and pose a danger to the weight lifter as well as to people nearby. In addition, muscle fatigue in the hands and fingers of the person exercising could cause the weight lifter to lose his grip and inadvertently drop the weights. There exists a need in the art for a safety strap that can help reduce the incidence of inadvertently dropped weights. Further, there exists a need in the art for a wrist extension strap that can help the weight lifter transfer a portion...
