117 results about "Biceps" patented technology

The biceps (Latin: musculus biceps brachii, "two-headed muscle of the arm", sometimes abbreviated to biceps brachii) is a large muscle that lies on the front of the upper arm between the shoulder and the elbow. Both heads of the muscle arise on the scapula and join to form a single muscle belly which is attached to the upper forearm. While the biceps crosses both the shoulder and elbow joints, its main function is at the elbow where it flexes the forearm and supinates the forearm. Both these movements are used when opening a bottle with a corkscrew: first biceps unscrews the cork (supination), then it pulls the cork out (flexion).

Tricep and bicep exercise bar

This invention is a weight lifting exercise bar with handle grip members selectively rotatable relative to the longitudinal axis of the exercise bar so that the exerciser can perform weight lifting exercises benefiting different muscle groups using a single exercise bar and a single set of weights. A set of ball bearings sandwitched between a pair of concentric rings, the outer ring being secured to exercise bar and the inner ring carrying the handle grip member. The inner ring member having the ability to smoothly rotate three hundred and sixty degree's, clockwise and or counterclockwise, independently of the outer ring member by the use of the ball bearings sandwitched between the inner ring member and the outer ring member. This invention allows for the handle grips to be rotated independently and freely while raising and lowering the exercise bar during it's intended use.

Complete body fitness machine

InactiveUS6976940B2Efficient and effective workoutCutting time necessaryMuscle exercising devicesMovement coordination devicesWhole bodyMuscle group
A “Complete Body Fitness Machine” that provides for a muscle building workout as well as a cardiovascular workout for the total body consists generally of an adjustable seat and two arms on either side, which are adjustable in height and have an infinitely and independently variable resistance possible in either clockwise or counterclockwise rotation. The arms are designed to have several types of mechanisms attached, so as to be able to work with a variety of body parts including, but not limited to, hands, arms, legs, feet, torso, neck and shoulders. When the proper attachment is used, the resistance for each direction of rotation of the arm is set, and the exercise is conducted. Depending on the workout desired, the seat and arms could be adjusted to different positions as well as the seat can be free-moving. This, combined with the fact that the arms can rotate 360-degrees, allows the user to simulate rotational cardiovascular exercises such as cycling, rowing, rotation of the arms in a circular motion (similarly to how the legs rotate in the cycling motion), and even running. The two independent arms are infinitely and separately adjusted for resistance in either rotational direction. This means that the body's natural design of using opposing muscle groups such as the bicep and triceps to bend and straighten the arm can be not only be utilized, but also maximized for efficiency of operation and workout.

A hand held weight lifting device with a finger grip system attached to a resistance mechanism that is visually located in the middle of the handle and is designed to target the hands, wrist and forearms. The handles may be removed allowing a person to perform all dumbell related exercises. When using a collar, that safely and securely stabilizes the weights in a stationary form, the device can transform from solo or single status, to a dual, unilateral exercise experience. The device can be adjusted from 10″ to 20″ depending on the type of exercise required. The device, coupled with ankle straps and shin pads, provides a person the ability to perform lower body exercises targeting the hamstrings (rear thighs), quadriceps (thighs), lower abs (leg raises) and calfs. In regards to the upper body, the handles provide a comfort grip while performing exercises targeting all major muscles associated with the torso as well as biceps (arms) and trapezius (shoulders). This device is equipped with a resistance bar. When attached to both handles and the handles are squeezed together, it in turn targets the pectoral (chest) muscle.

Vascular wound closing apparatus and method

Wound closure apparatus is provided having a force-transmitting surface operable to be placed in a proximal, external, wound-closing position on a patient, together with a force-exerting assembly operable to exert a wound-closing pressure against the patient's tissue. The force-transmitting surface is preferably three-dimensionally asymmetric to generate different forces along the length of the surface. The apparatus is especially designed for the closure of wounds attendant to endovascular interventions, e.g., a femoral artery puncture wound. The apparatus is positioned and operated so as to partially close the patient's artery upstream of the arteriotomy. The apparatus and methods hereof may also be used for the closure of wounds created during venous intervention procedures. A smaller wound closure apparatus is provided for the closure of brachial and radial wounds, and has a wrist or arm strap for securing the apparatus onto the wrist or bicep region of a patient.

Water craft paddle device for one-arm use

A water craft or canoe paddle device is provided for one-arm use. The paddle device enables a user to produce power strokes similar to strokes that are achieved with a traditional canoe paddle used by an individual using two unimpaired arms and two unimpaired hands. In one embodiment, one end of the paddle device for one-arm use is fastened to the upper torso, or shoulder area of the user. In a second embodiment, one end of the paddle device for one-arm use is fastened to the biceps area of the user. The design of the paddle shaft enables a user with one unimpaired arm to grasp the shaft of the paddle with their one unimpaired hand in substantially a perpendicular configuration to the shaft of the paddle. The power is achieved because the canoe paddle device for one-arm use design enables the large muscle groups of the shoulder, torso, back, and abdominal muscles to be utilized during each stroke of the paddle.
