AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent is about a flexible device made of tungsten powder and silicone rubber that is designed to evenly distribute weight on a person's body. This device is meant to move with the person's body. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a way to evenly distribute weight on a person's body to create a more balanced and comfortable fit.

Problems solved by technology

Body weighted devices overload the skin over a small surface area of the body.
They also often slide during use, leak, and are extremely rigid and / or bulky.
If an athlete wears a weight vest while training, his or her trapezius muscles will hurt, and the athlete's posture is negatively affected.

Embodiment Construction

[0011]The following detailed description is of the best currently contemplated modes of carrying out exemplary embodiments of the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, since the scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.

[0012]Broadly, one embodiment of the present invention is a high-density, flexible body worn weight device comprising tungsten-infused silicone-gel which provides a balanced weight distribution.

[0013]The inventive weights are sometimes referred to herein as “TiG”, which stands for “Tungsten Infused Gel”.

[0014]TiG spreads the weight and is operative to evenly distribute the weight along the length and circumference of a calf or forearm. Because it is a silicone-based weight, it is customizable and may be molded into any shape. Body weighted devices comprising the tungsten-containing silicone-based material may be formed into breat...

Abstract

A flexible body worn weight device includes tungsten powder suspended within a silicone rubber substrate. The device evenly distributes weight along a length and a circumference of a region of a user's body and moves with the user's body. The body weight device worn on a specific body location improves overall health and fitness without altering the mechanics of human movement. The device worn over multiple regions of the body simulates increased gravity.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of priority of U.S. provisional application No. 63 / 056,792, filed Jul. 27, 2020, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to weights worn on the body and, more particularly, to tungsten-infused silicone gel body weights.[0003]Current body weighted devices are made of sand, iron, lead or select gels. No such weight has the characteristics necessary to move with the human body. Body weighted devices overload the skin over a small surface area of the body. This leads to altered mechanics during human motion. They also often slide during use, leak, and are extremely rigid and / or bulky. If an athlete wears a weight vest while training, his or her trapezius muscles will hurt, and the athlete's posture is negatively affected. Wrist or ankle weights load the ankle bone and put all the added weight towards the foot. Currently, skate ...
