Disclosed is a weight lifting apparatus having mechanism for assisting in adding a rotational element to the traditional front/back (or flexion and extension) activities during the lifting of weights or other athletic resistance activitiesl. This invention to provides an attachment apparatus that provides a weight holding means that is able to offer 360 degrees of smooth movement which allows complete rotational positionability for use with any stationary or moving resistive weight apparatus. This invention also provids an apparatus wherein the weight holding means also provides a safety measure which can limit the speed of rotation or even stop this motion in the event that the weight is dropped or rotational exertion limits are reached.
Description
- N/A
- The present invention relates to the field of exercise technology.
- Most all exercise equipment focus on movement in a particular direction so as to strengthen muscles by repetitive exertion use. While there are a number of apparatus which allow for a range of motion, still the common focus is on limiting and resisting muscle movement. However, those wishing to increase their ability to enact full range movement while receiving the benefit of muscle resistance exercising will not have their needs be met. There is a real need to be able to offer safe and easy to use exercise equipment that allows for a complete range of movement while offering the traditional weight machine, free weights and any other method which typically offers unidirectional movement, or even movement with a range of motion such as the bow flex equipment or those using band/elastic bands etc. Even non-movable devices such as pullup and pushup bars would be better exercise devices should they offer more movability. Specific of this concern is the ability to create rotational movement while at the same time offering forward/back resistive movement offered by typical exercise devices.
- Such resisted forward/back movement of course is fundamental to exercise dynamics where the muscles must strain against a resistive force allowing the muscles to grow stronger. Unfortunately this unidirectional resistive movement is limited in muscle development. Muscles do not develop in a natural looking manner and athletes or those wishing to exercise for a particular combination movement such as pitching a baseball which uses torsion and twisting movements as well as forward and back will not have their needs be met.
- Thus, it is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for assisting in adding a rotational element to the traditional front/back (or flexion and extension) activities during the lifting of weights.
- It is another object of the invention to provide such an attachment apparatus that provides a weight holding means that is able to offer 360 degrees of smooth movement which allows complete rotational positionability for use with any stationary or moving resistive weight apparatus.
- It is still another object of the invention to provide such an apparatus wherein the weight holding means also provides a safety measure which can limit the speed of rotation or even stop this motion in the event that the weight is dropped or rotational exertion limits are reached.
- The above and other objects, features, and advantages of the invention will be better understood by reading the following more particular description of the invention, presented in conjunction with the following drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 shows a semi exploded side view of the rotational weight lifting apparatus with a representational sample of the locking mechanism; -

- The following description is of the best presently contemplated mode of carrying out the present invention. This description is not to be taker in a limiting sense but is made merely for the purpose of describing the general principles of the invention. The scope of the invention should be determined by referencing the appended claims. Nevertheless, taken as a whole, this invention is a direction converter which will convert directional movement and resistance exercise movement and the associated muscular strengthening benefits from stationary, unidirectional or single planar directed exercise activities to those of a rotational direction. Equipment used can be stationary apparatus such as a pullup or pushup bar, weight bench apparatus using straps, cables and bow technology or other flexible resist methods such as cables and wires and pulley systems used in a variety of weight training apparatuses. This invention can be manufactured in two forms, either as a free standing attachment which can readily attach to existing weight training machinery by standard methods such as straps, clamps, and hook and loop fastening devices such as Velcro and the like. In addition said version can be adhesively fastened with a secure adhesive, or can be fundamentally bonded such as in soldering to metal parts. Alternatively, this invention can be created as an integral component in designs of weight training apparatus such that once unilateral or stationary apparatus can now have the benefit of 360 degree rotational capacity.
- Regarding direction conversion, when used on stationary apparatus, it is the users muscles and body which moves but the 360 rotator will provide complete circular movement in a single plane. When used with unidirectional apparatus, this invention will provide same circular planar movement but now the added directions (generally perpendicular to movement of rotator) will create a torsion and corkscrew continuous resistance conversion. With apparatus of free range movements such as cables and pulley devices, the corkscrew effect will follow the path and direction of the free ranging movement of the apparatus itself. In addition, the movement is designed to be smooth and continuous and op optionally resistive 360 degree movement capabilities to further offer changeable resistance along the 360 degree circular plane.

Those skilled in the arts of movement technology will doubtless know alternative methods for creating 360 smooth movement which will not wear out over time. It is understood that these illustrations are for functional design awareness and variations and methods to create same will be readily adjustable without affecting the basic design of this invention. However, ball bearings offer a stable controllable means of movement. The rotator mechanism is designed to offer smooth movement through a circular angle. It should be noted that this invention intends to be completely safe, as with any exercise system there is risk of accidents. The rotator mechanism is designed to provide smooth, non-jerky movement. Speed of rotation can be controlled by either tightening or realeasing a progressive attachment connection between theattachment body components -
FIGS. 3 and 5 through 9 show variations in design with which this rotator apparatus can be designed. It should be obvious that the rotator needs to be attached to a stationary component of an exercise equipment. This attachment is intended to be solid and fast. The figures illustrated show only one method for locking onto such equipment.
