Abstract
Description
[0001] Cable pulleys are essential components of strength training equipment. They enable various pulling exercises by being attached to a cable system. Conventional cable pulleys often have an odd shape and / or diameter. As a result, they are either difficult to grip, cause cuts or pressure points, and are simply uncomfortable for the hands and wrists during extended use.
[0002] The ergonomic cable pull handle described in claim 1 is intended to offer an improvement over conventional handles by having a special ergonomic shape. It is an ergonomic handle body for use in strength training, extending along a longitudinal axis and ergonomically shaped.
[0003] The central main section of the handle features a bulbous thickening in the middle, which fits comfortably in the palm of the hand, ensuring a secure and comfortable grip. At one end, the handle transitions into a wide, rotationally symmetrical support surface that prevents the hand from slipping and provides additional stability during exercise.
[0004] In a preferred embodiment, the handle surface is smooth to provide a comfortable feel. However, in alternative embodiments, the handle can also have a textured surface, for example, with ribbing, bumps, diamond patterns, or other ergonomically advantageous textures. These serve to improve grip or provide targeted tactile feedback. The surface design does not affect the basic shape of the handle and can be adapted according to the intended use, material, or user preference. The handle can be made of various materials, such as hard and / or elastic plastics or metals. A cord with a loop runs through the handle. This cord is used to attach the handle to the cable of the cable pulley system. The invention has the following advantages:
[0005] Ergonomics: The handle's shape makes it more comfortable and safer to use, and a support surface prevents the hand from slipping. Reference symbol list 1 Ergonomic handle shape 2 bulbous thickenings 3 Support surface 4 ropes for attaching to the cable pulley
Claims
[1] Ergonomic cable pull handle for fitness training, which can be attached to a cable pulley system, characterized by , that the handle (1) comprises an ergonomically shaped main section oriented along a longitudinal axis, wherein the main section has a bulbous thickening (2) in a central area for placement in the palm of the hand, and wherein the handle body transitions at one end into a projecting support surface (3) shaped rotationally symmetrically to the longitudinal axis, which serves to securely support the hand. [2] Cable pull handle according to claim 1, characterized by that the surface of the handle body is optionally smooth or provided with a structured surface, the structuring of which may in particular include ribbing, bumps, diamond or line patterns.
