Benefits of technology
The present invention is a twistable wrist-grip exercise device that helps to strengthen muscles and tendons in the wrist, hand, forearm, and shoulders. It consists of two hemispheres that are affixed to a cylindrical central bridge made of torque-resistant polymeric material. The resistance generated by a user's attempts to torque the hemispheres in opposing axial directions helps to enhance the device's strength. The central bridge may also connect to the polyhedrons by a coil spring, which allows for twisting and moving of the polyhedrons in relation to each other. The device may also have inflatable partial spheroids that can be used for compression grip exercises.
Problems solved by technology
Standard exercise equipment is prohibitively large, expensive and cumbersome for home use.
Certain muscles groups, such as the wrist muscles, have very few simple portable devices designed for their exercise or strength measurement, due to the difficulties in designing a simple apparatus that can correctly resist the supinating muscle motions leading to such development and measurement.
Many patented portable devices that target difficult areas of the body to exercise such as these are complicated and difficult to find on the market.

A wrist-grip exercise device is disclosed comprising two partial spheroids interconnected by an elastic central bridge, which partial spheroids may be rotatable axially 90 degrees in opposite directions around a longitudinal axis under the force, with each partial spheroid acting as a graspable handle. In some embodiments the partial spheroids are in the shape of hemispheres. The elastic bridge provides resistance to facilitate exercise and power to return the device to its original shape after being twisted and contorted during use. The elastic central bridge may be an elastomeric polymer material interconnecting the two partial spheroids. In other embodiments the central bridge is a coil spring. In some embodiments the handles are inflatable to facilitate compression grip exercises. In some embodiments the handles are attached to the coil spring by male-female connection system. Another embodiment of the present invention substitutes polyhedrons for the two partial spheroids.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO PRIOR APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application 61 / 999,994 by Daniel Vaughan Wilson for “Three Resistance Exercise Devices” filed on Aug. 11, 2014.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Field of the Invention[0003]This invention relates to exercise equipment, and more particularly relates to a resilient exercise device for building wrist, hand, and forearm strength.[0004]Description of the Related Art[0005]Businessmen and working fathers often lack to the time to exercise at commercial gymnasiums and find it more convenient to exercise at home. Standard exercise equipment is prohibitively large, expensive and cumbersome for home use. Many and varied types of compact exercise devices are available to help replace cumbersome gym equipment in home settings and assist individuals in their efforts to improve general strength, endurance and / or to mitigate specific health issues that need physical therapy, such as exercise bands....
