Benefits of technology

The patent describes an improved ergonomic handle for exercise machines that has a polygonal-shaped grip that is better for the user's hands. This handle design reduces pressure on the palm of the hand and is comfortable for a range of hand sizes. Overall, this handle makes it easier for users to engage with the machine and achieve better results during training.

Problems solved by technology

However, they do not provide optimized geometry for supporting exercisers to engage for longer periods with exercise equipment, for instance, five minutes or more.
Moreover, they do not provide optimal gripping surfaces for a variety of hand sizes and for exercises involving both pushing and pulling forces.

Abstract

An improved ergonomic handle for an exercise machine having a cross-sectional shape designed to more closely conform with the natural anatomical shape of a hand in a grasping position for reducing compressive pressure on the hand during exercise, improving grip, and accommodating a wide range of hand sizes. The ergonomic handle for an exercise machine generally includes solid bars and hollow tubular structures with a variety of substantially polygonal cross-sections, including various substantially triangular and trapezoidal cross-sections. Alternative embodiments include underlying bars and handles of various cross-sectional shapes with resilient cover materials having substantially polygonal cross-sections. The improved ergonomic handles may replace traditional round cross-section handles anywhere on an exercise machine they may be located.
