Benefits of technology

The invention is a portable exercise device that targets muscles of the biceps, forearms, chest, and back. It consists of a pair of foldable L-shaped frame members with concave arm-engaging elements positioned at the distal end of the frame members. The frame members are adjoined at a central pivot connection formed at the proximal end of each frame member. The device can be easily stored in a compact way and can be manufactured by an individual using a 3D printer. The technical effects of the invention include providing resistance when the frame members are engaged, allowing for effective workouts, and targeting specific muscle groups.

Problems solved by technology

While stationary devices have an advantage in that they can perform exercises on various muscle groups, size limits their availability to gymnasiums or residences having space sufficient to house the equipment.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]A detailed embodiment of the exercise device is disclosed herein; however, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, which may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific functional and structural details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims and as a representation basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed structure.

[0018]Now referring to the figures, disclosed is a portable exercise device 10 comprising a first L-shaped frame member 12 having a proximal end 14 and a distal end 16. The proximal end 14 includes a junction section 18 having a first pivot hole 20. The proximal end 14 further includes a first stop element 22 having an end section 24 available for abutting a second stop element 26 having an end section 28 on an abutting second L-shaped frame member 50. The first L-shaped fr...

Abstract

Portable exercise apparatus that employs a pair of foldable L-shaped frame members that are joined together along a central pivot. A concave arm engaging member is attached to each of the frame members, and a biasing mechanism holds the frame members in a rest position, providing resistance when the frame members are moved around the central pivot. Exercises are performed by moving the frame members apart using each forearm in one of the concave members, with a forward-extending leg of each L-shaped member being held as a handgrip.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to exercise equipment and, more particularly, to a portable device for exercising biceps, forearms, chest and back muscles.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Exercise equipment can be classified as stationary or portable. Stationary exercise equipment are typically large devices that employ body engaging members such as handles and pads for resistance input from various portions of the human body. Stationary exercise equipment also includes frames that are fastened to the floor with the body engaging members connected to energy absorbing mechanisms by pivoted levers, pulleys and cables. While stationary devices have an advantage in that they can perform exercises on various muscle groups, size limits their availability to gymnasiums or residences having space sufficient to house the equipment.[0003]Portable devices include one or more handles operated by one hand, or by both hands in unison. Coil springs, torsion springs, or elastic b...
