Benefits of technology

The patent describes a hand gripping and thumb muscle exercising device that helps users strengthen their gripping and thumb muscles. The device consists of two handles that can be gripped by the user's hand, allowing for repetitive use. The device also has a thumb pad that can be pressed to exercise the thumb muscles. The biasing member helps spread the handles apart, allowing for exercise of the hand and thumb muscles. The device may be made using a coil or torsion spring, or a combination of both. Overall, the device provides a convenient and effective way to exercise the muscles of the hand and thumb.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, prior art hand exercise devices are limited to their specific purpose of exercising the gripping muscles of the user.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]Referring now to the drawings, a device 10 for exercising hand muscles as well as thumb muscles is shown. The user may grip first and second elongate handles 12, 14 with one hand. The fingers 16 of the user may be wrapped around the first elongate handle 12 while the thumb of the user may be wrapped around the second elongate handle 14. A torsion spring 18 provides opposed resistance as the user squeezes the first and second handles 12, 14 closer to each other as shown by arrows 20. The user squeezes the first and second handles 12, 14 and slowly relaxes his or her hand to exercise the gripping muscles of the user's hand. The user may grip a device 10 in each of his or her hands and repetitiously squeeze the first and second handles 12, 14 of the device 10 to strengthen his or her gripping muscles. This exercise is shown in FIG. 1. The user may also rotate the device 10 in the orientation shown in FIG. 2. The right hand of the user may grip the second elongate handle 12 while ...

Abstract

A device is shown which is utilized to strengthen gripping muscles of the user's hand as well as thumb muscles of the user's hand. The device has first and second handles which may be gripped by the user to strengthen the user's gripping muscles. The device may be oriented upside down so that the user can grasp the first and second handles with his or her left and right hands. The user's thumbs may rest upon thumb pads extending out of the first and second handles. These thumb pads may be depressed cyclically to strengthen the user's thumb muscles. Accordingly, the device provides additional features and benefits.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]Not ApplicableSTATEMENT RE: FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH / DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not ApplicableBACKGROUND[0003]The various embodiments disclosed herein relate to a hand exercise device.[0004]A number of hand exercising devices exist in the prior art. The traditional hand exercise device has a torsion spring with first and second handles connected to the legs of the torsion spring. The user can grip the first and second handles and squeeze the first and second handles to strengthen his or her gripping muscles.[0005]Another type of hand gripping device integrates four push pads which are biased to an extended position. Each of the push pads align to one of the four fingers of the user's hand. In this way, the user can exercise an individual finger muscle independent from the muscles of the other fingers. This is often utilized in sports that might require strengthening of one finger such as pistol shooting.[0006]Unfortunately, prior art hand exerc...
