Benefits of technology

The invention is a grip strength training device that is made of a cubic shape with threaded holes on each face. This allows for various grips and weights to be attached to the device, making it easy to achieve different levels of exercise intensity. Additionally, the device can be attached to an eye bolt for bodyweight training or to a weight plate or cable pulley system for non-bodyweight resistance training. This modularity and adaptability sets the grip strength training device apart from other training devices.

Problems solved by technology

However, making it to the crag or a climbing gym on a consistent basis is not always possible.
Hangboards can only be used for bodyweight resistance training.
This makes them an inadequate tool for novice climbers who cannot yet hold their own bodyweight.
Additionally, hangboards are monolithic, the grips and ledges on hangboards are not interchangeable.
However, these devices, like hangboards, are monolithic molded shapes lacking the ability to change grips.

first embodiment

FIGS. 1, 2—First Embodiment

[0019]The grip strength training device is composed of a multi-faceted body having one or more holes drilled into each facet. These holes allow attachment of implements to aid in grip strength training.

[0020]One embodiment of the grip strength training device is illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2. This embodiment shows a cubic body having 101⅜″ threaded holes centered in each facet (FIG. 1). FIG. 2 shows the grip strength training device of in conjunction with possible attachments 213 eye bolt and 212 climbing hold. The 212 climbing hold is secured to the grip strength training device via 211⅜″ cap set screw.

Operation

FIGS. 1, 2

[0021]The device may be gripped directly or any kind of 212 climbing hold may be affixed to the device as shown in FIG. 2. In either of these configurations the device may be used to perform a number of exercises while engaging the user's grip muscles. Optionally, a 213 eye bolt may also be attached to the device. Via the 213 eye bolt the ...

Abstract

A modular grip strength training device allowing various climbing holds or other attachments to facilitate training exercises for climbers and other athletes. The first embodiment is a cubic body with attachment points in each of its six faces. The user may attach climbing holds or weight. The second embodiment is of a pyramidal frustum shape allowing for the user to change the angle of the attached climbing holds for a more varied workout.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]N / ABACKGROUND[0002]This application relates to grip strength training, particularly grip strength training for the sport of rock climbing.PRIOR ART[0003]The following is a listing of relevant prior art:U.S. Patents[0004]Pat. No.Kind CodeIssue DatePatentee9,468,805B2Oct. 18, 2016Michael Robert White20060079380A1Apr. 13, 2006Alistair Wells[0005]In sports such as climbing, it is important to develop and maintain grip strength. This is best done by climbing. However, making it to the crag or a climbing gym on a consistent basis is not always possible. In response to this difficulty, equipment that can be used as an alternative to actual climbing has been developed. One such piece of equipment is the hangboard. A hangboard is a molded shape that is mounted over a door frame or directly to a wall and contains various grips and ledges that a climber can hang from in order to strengthen their grip.[0006]Hangboards while useful, are not without so...
