Description

Resistance training device compatible with gloves and implements

Technical Field

The present invention relates to exercise equipment, and more particularly to a resistance training device that can be used as a stand alone device or in conjunction with a pair of training gloves and exercise equipment.

Background

Resistance bands are common components of general fitness and fitness training sessions. They are light in weight, multipurpose, and easy to store and carry, and can be used conveniently in gymnasiums and living rooms. The resistance bands can increase the challenges of exercise, but do not cause the same stress on the joints as does the independently operated weights of dumbbells and kettlebells. Furthermore, they are very advantageous for smaller groups of stable Muscles (Stabilizing Muscles) which are usually ignored.

Although the resistance bands can be of various types, such as continuous loops and flat bands, with or without grips/bands, existing designs can be limited in their ability to be maneuvered by the user. For example, if the user wants to secure the strap to the ground to provide resistance, she must step on a portion of the strap with her foot directly, or tie the strap to a fixture, or use other equipment that is heavy enough to act as a fastener, or snap onto existing structures to maintain the strap in place during the course of the activity. Similarly, straps attached to the belt means to act as anchor points in the middle of the body considerably limit the range of motion and are not generally easy to use. Furthermore, the existing grips are fairly primitive in design. Some grips require the user to use full force to grasp the grip, thus hindering the possibility that gloves may be used simultaneously. Other grips have partial freedom in hand handling, but can create unnatural tension points and can cause injury. The prior art straps do not allow one to use the strap with a pair of tapping spares, with or without a grip. For example, existing designs can severely impede, or even prevent, athletes from using straps for upper body resistance while still wearing boxing gloves or doing bag exercises. Moreover, for some few designs that can be attached to the lower body, none of them allow the lower body to be supported in a fixed manner with respect to the upper body, all of them separate the upper body from the lower body.

Therefore, a novel device is needed for the foot as the fixing point of the upper body. They can use the putting sparring glove at the same time, without restriction to the use of the hands and feet, and can move freely while benefiting from the resistance band. Again, they may offer the option of being able to alternate with sports implements. The device fits snugly and provides safe hand/foot support to reduce the possibility of injury in addition to increasing muscle activation and strengthening.

Detailed Description

Before the present device is disclosed and described, it is to be understood that the present device is not limited to particular embodiments, particular locations, or particular implementations. It is also to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only, and is not intended to be limiting. Various embodiments are described herein in connection with the drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to facilitate explanation and to provide a thorough understanding of one or more embodiments, however, it will be apparent that various embodiments may be practiced without the specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in limited use to facilitate explanation of the foregoing embodiments.

A novel resistance training device is disclosed herein that can be used with gloves and implements (referred to herein for convenience as simply "resistance training device"). The resistance training device is designed as an accessory of the pulley machine for retraining, and is used for increasing resistance to the training process of a user, whether boxing, MMA, aerobic exercise courses, family use or gymnasiums. The resistance exercise device provides additional resistance to the user while exercising, such as making it more difficult to maintain the arms raised while hitting a bag. When the user is at home or training by oneself, the user can have unique and good hand holding and foot fixing effects in connection with various body-building exercises.

FIG. 1 schematically illustrates one embodiment of a resistance exercise device as disclosed herein. As shown in FIG. 1, resistance exercise device 100 includes a hand fastener 110, a resistance band 140, and a foot fastener 160. In one embodiment, the hand holdfast 110 includes a palm ring 115, a wrist ring 120, a palm strap 125, and a connecting mechanism 130. Foot anchor 160 comprises a medial foot loop 165, a posterior foot loop 170, and a connecting mechanism 175. The resistance bands 140 include a plurality of attachment mechanisms 145 disposed on each end, wherein the band attachment mechanisms 145 are connectable to the attachment mechanisms of the hand and

foot fasteners

110, 160.

The loops of the hand and

foot holdfast devices

110, 160 may vary in size, shape, and configuration. For example, the palm ring 115, wrist ring 120, middle foot ring 165, and rear foot ring 170 each comprise a single stretchable elastic member that fits snugly over the hand and foot. Although each of the loops may be provided on other portions of the hands and feet, it is desirable that they be provided on their respective portions. That is, the palm ring 115 is disposed on the metacarpal bone of the hand, and the wrist ring 120 is disposed on the wrist. The middle foot ring 165 is arranged to be sleeved on the middle part of the foot, while the rear foot ring 170 is arranged to be sleeved on the rear foot. In a preferred embodiment, the loops of the hand and

foot fasteners

110, 160 are arranged in relation to each other so that each loop is properly located on the corresponding portion of the hand and foot.

Similarly, in a preferred embodiment, the hand and foot

fastener attachment mechanisms

130 and 175 are positioned at specific locations to maximize the performance of the resistance exercise device. That is, the hand-holdfast connecting mechanism 130 is precisely positioned between the palm ring 115 and the wrist ring 120 so as to be located at the palm of the hand when the

rings

115 and 120 are located at the respective corresponding positions. Foot fastener attachment mechanism 175 is positioned in relation to medial foot loop 165 and posterior foot loop 170 such that attachment mechanism 175 can be positioned on the medial top portion of the foot when both loops are positioned on their respective portions. However, in other embodiments, the connecting

mechanisms

130 and 175 are disposed on other portions of the hand and foot.

The design of the hand fastener 110, i.e., the combined position of the palm ring 115, wrist ring 120, palm strap 125, and connecting mechanism 130, is novel and different from existing products and prior art. No other product can provide physical support for the wrist and hand while using the resistance bands 140 at the palm Tension Point (Tension Point). Other designs and products have only one wristband that is not activated for shoulder and wrist. Alternatively, they may provide some support to the hand, but must utilize the hand to maintain control of the wristband. However, in still another novel aspect, another embodiment of the hand holdfast 110 may include only the palm-loop strap 115 with a connecting mechanism joined to the palm-loop strap 115.

The location of the hand-fastener attachment mechanism 130 is novel and different from other products attached to the wrist. The palm is the best place of attachment because it is about one inch from the fulcrum of the wrist, which is where the arm muscles have the greatest potential. The load at the palm of the hand can provide greater control of the user when punching a fist. This is also the point at which the boxing glove is opened and surrounded by the hook and loop fastener, as in the case disclosed in FIG. 3, and thus enhances the novel characteristics of the hand fastener.

Similarly, the design of the foot fastener 160, i.e., the combined positioning of the medial foot loop 165, the posterior foot loop 170, and the connecting mechanism 175, is novel and different from prior products and prior art. No other product would fit the foot as well and would provide physical support for the medial foot, the hindfoot, and the ankle while allowing the foot to act as a fixation point for upper body movements while using the resistance band 140 at a tension point on the top side of the medial foot.

The resistance exercise device is novel and unique in that it provides a direct connection between the upper and lower body limbs. The prior art only connects the lower and upper body to the middle body, buttocks, or back. However, in this context, the straps are directly connected to the hands and feet, which can be manipulated without grasping them by hand or securing them to the feet or stepping on them. It is also possible to have multiple strips, and thus to increase the resistance in case of need. This allows for a variety of exercises and actions. For example, the resistance exercise device may perform a range of actions from squat/fluke to overhead; the triceps curl; lifting biceps; pushing forwards and laterally; and bending over and lifting sideways. Other motions include jumping, wave ratios (burrows), pushup, flat motions, and even running. Examples of fitness boxing include blank boxing, bag-punching practice, glove practice, sparring, and walking.

The length of the resistance bands 140 is novel and different from existing products and prior art. Before that, the straps were too long compared to the average human length. That is, the straps currently used need to have extra length for attachment (also referred to as being stepped on when performing bending, pushing, etc.). In this context, however, the resistance bands 140 have a unique length, i.e., about half the length or hip height of a typical to medium-sized user. This length can provide a large impedance range: from a position where the hands are lowered close to the buttocks to a position where the hands extend from the front directly to the sides or above the head. For example, the following are proposed to provide previously unseen novel and unique advantages over the approximate range of lengths when combined with the hand and foot fasteners 110 and 160: about 16-18 inches for use by individuals under age 16, and about 24-30 inches for use by individuals over age 16. These ranges are set according to age ranges, but may also be applied to individuals with a height similar to an average age of a child or adult. Lengths outside these ranges are also possible, but must be adapted to the height of the user.

The resistance of the resistance bands 140 can be varied and then applied to the opposing hand and foot. For example, one of the strap attachment mechanisms 145 may be attached to the left hand fastener 110, while the other attachment mechanism 145 is attached to the right foot fastener 160. The resistance bands 140 may also be made of different forms of material, such as natural or synthetic latex rubber.

FIG. 2 schematically illustrates one embodiment of the use of the resistance exercise device disclosed herein. As shown in FIG. 2, the resistance exercise device may include a hand fastener 210, a resistance band 240, and a foot fastener 260, wherein the band 240 connects to both the hand and foot to allow the foot to act as a fastening point for upper body movements. Fig. 2 shows how the resistance exercise device can be used to make a blank hit. This is novel and unique in that it allows the user to train the speed, strength, and endurance of the upper body without having to consider how the straps are held in place or if they lose control when moving the upper and lower body limbs. The exercises that can be performed to increase resistance by the resistance exercise device include glove exercises, flicking, and bag hitting exercises. The resistance exercise device may also be used to keep the user's hands upright for extended periods of time to strengthen the shoulders and connecting muscles. Other exercises that may benefit from the present disclosure include biceps curl, shoulder thrust, and jumping. In each of these, the resistance exercise device allows the foot to act as a fixation point for upper body movements.

FIG. 3 schematically illustrates one embodiment of the resistance training device disclosed herein used with boxing gloves of different sizes and weights, but all designs have an opening in the lower palm area, possibly except for specialized gloves used in official competitions. Training gloves, bag-hitting gloves, flick gloves, tympan gloves, and MMA gloves all provided with the same or similar apertures in the palm region. This palm opening in a boxing glove or glove-like design may allow the resistance exercise device to be used while wearing the glove. As shown in FIG. 3, a boxing glove 310 having a palm opening 315 allows a hand fastener of the resistance exercise device to be worn under the glove 310. The attachment mechanism of the hand fastener is accessible through palm aperture 315 so that attachment mechanism 325 of resistance band 320 can be attached to the hand fastener attachment mechanism while still carrying glove 310. Further, the second attachment mechanism 330 of the resistance bands 320 may be attached to the foot fastener attachment mechanism 335. Also shown in fig. 3 is that the user may also be provided with a hand-fastener in the other hand 340 without wearing gloves.

FIG. 4 schematically illustrates one embodiment of the resistance training device disclosed herein for use with a boxing glove. As shown in FIG. 4, the user may use the resistance exercise device while wearing gloves. The resistance bands 410 are attached to the foot anchors 420. The user is not restricted by the arrangement of the strap 410, and can be allowed to perform training of punching, kicking, or the like.

FIG. 5 schematically shows an embodiment of a hand fixator disclosed herein. As shown in FIG. 5, the hand fastener 500 of the resistance exercise device includes a palm loop 510, a palm strap 515, a connecting mechanism 520, and a wrist loop 525. The hand fastener 500 is configured so that the palm loop 510 is positioned over the palm of the hand and the wrist loop 525 fits snugly over the wrist. The palm strap 515 connects the two

loops

510 and 525 and is used as a holdfast for the connection mechanism 520. In a preferred embodiment, the connection mechanism 520 is located at the center of the palm of the hand for engaging the rotator muscle (shoulder/back muscle) to mobilize the wrist and strengthen the ulnar or forearm complex.

One embodiment of the fastener includes additional material disposed over a portion of the attachment mechanism 520 to allow the attachment mechanism 520 to be embedded within the hand fastener 500. Any type of embodiment sufficient to allow the attachment mechanism 520 to be securely fastened to the palm strap 515 may be used.

The components in the hand holdfast 500 may all be made of the same material, or may vary. For example, the hand holdfast 500 may be made of a material that will securely hold the loops on the hand, but will still be strong enough to securely hold the resistance bands during use. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the loops of the hand holdfast 500 may be made of an elastic material that is shaped into the shape of the hand, while the palm bands 515 are made of a more durable material that will not break or come loose when a lightweight resistance band is used. In another embodiment, one or both of the metacarpal ring 510 and wrist ring 525 may include a length adjustment device. The length adjustment means may be a single member with an adjustable fastener, such as a loop fastener, a D-ring, or a rectangular ring. Or the length adjusting device is provided with two side tail ends which are buckled together through an adjustable fastener. Likewise, the attachment mechanism 520 may be made of a variety of materials so long as it is strong enough to support the tension in the resistance bands during motion. Examples of the connection mechanism 520 include a metal D-ring, a mountain-climbing lock, a cloth ring, and a hook-and-loop fastener.

FIG. 6 schematically illustrates one embodiment of the use of the resistance exercise device disclosed herein. The user is free to move while using the resistance exercise device without having to pay attention to the control of the resistance bands. For example, the user can perform a boxing approach as shown in fig. 6, and can maintain a boxing posture with the hands raised. The resistance exercise device thus allows the user to move freely while maintaining the resistance of the strap, allowing him to move his feet and hands freely while being obstructed.

FIGS. 7A and 7B schematically illustrate one embodiment of a foot anchor as disclosed herein. As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the foot fastener includes a middle foot loop 710, a rear foot loop 720, and a connecting mechanism 730. The mid-foot loop 710 is configured to be disposed around the mid-foot, while the rear-foot loop 720 is parallel to the foot and surrounds the rear foot portion of the loop. In an alternative embodiment, however, the rear foot loop 720 is configured to encircle the foot and the ankle. In a preferred embodiment, the connection mechanism 730 is disposed on the top center side of the foot. The middle leg ring 710 may serve as a fastening point for the connection mechanism 730. Like the hand fastener attachment mechanism, one embodiment of the fastening point of the middle foot ring 710 includes additional material disposed over a portion of the attachment mechanism 730 such that the attachment mechanism 730 is embedded within the middle foot ring 710. Any type of connection mechanism 730 that allows it to be securely fastened to the middle foot ring 710 is contemplated. With the medial foot loop 710 snugly fitting over the foot and the posterior foot loop 720 wrapped around the dorsal side of the foot, the foot anchor provides much of the support around the foot when needed. Existing products can only provide less than optimal support to the foot, or even no support at all. For example, existing products wrap around the ankle, or only a portion of the foot. However, as can be seen herein, the rear foot loop 720 can provide additional safety to the user, but can also maintain or improve comfort. With the rear foot loop 720, the user can ensure that the foot anchor will not slip off the foot during use. However, while still retaining the novelty herein, an alternative embodiment may include only the medial foot ring 710 with the connection mechanism 730 joined thereto. This, while reducing the support of the rear foot loops 720, allows the user to still have the benefit of the location of the attachment mechanism on the top surface of the foot, yet still allow the strap to be attached to both the hand and foot anchors.

The components in the foot fastener may all be made of the same material, or may vary. For example, the foot anchor may be made of a material that will securely hold the loop on the foot, but will still be strong enough to securely hold the resistance bands in use. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the rear foot loop 720 may be made of a resilient material shaped into the foot, while the middle foot loop 710 is made of a more durable material for use with lightweight resistance bands without breaking or loosening.

In another embodiment, either or both of the middle foot ring 710 and the rear foot ring 720 may include a length adjustment device. The length adjustment means may be a single member with an adjustable fastener, such as a loop fastener, a D-ring, or a rectangular ring. Alternatively, the length adjustment device has two ends that are fastened together by adjustable fasteners, such as the rectangular loop fastener 740 in fig. 7A and 7B. In another embodiment, the rear foot loops may be removed, but still with the use of intermediate foot loops and connection mechanisms.

Like the hand fastener attachment mechanism, the foot fastener attachment mechanism 730 may be made of a variety of materials so long as it is strong enough to support the tension in the resistance bands during motion. Examples of the connection mechanism 730 include a metal D-ring, a mountain-climbing lock, a cloth ring, and a hook-and-loop fastener.

The location of the attachment member 730 is novel and provides additional benefits not previously seen, either by itself or in cooperation with the foot straps and resistance straps. In applications of the resistance exercise device for therapeutic, rehabilitative, or fitness, the placement of resistance bands on the top sides of the palms and feet provides optimal material and external activation of the ankle joint. Securing the resistance bands to the top side of the foot may also activate the tibialis anterior (tibialis anterior muscle) that supports the knee and ankle to provide the key to foot strength. By securing the resistance bands to the top side of the foot, the foot is forced to resist this resistance, enhancing muscle activation and overall strength.

In other embodiments, the connection mechanism of the hand or foot fasteners may be connected to a sporting implement. For example, the connection mechanism may then be connected to a pulley machine, replacing the D-shaped grips typically employed in commercial or home gyms. Furthermore, the foot anchors may be used as additional anchors, attached to the resistance cables of any implement to add additional weight, or used in a novel orientation for different or more supportive exercises.

FIG. 8A schematically illustrates one embodiment of a hand fixator as disclosed herein. As shown in fig. 8A, the hand holdfast 800 includes a palm loop 805, a palm strap 810, a connecting mechanism 815, and a wrist loop 820. In one embodiment,

loops

805 and 820 include fasteners 825 to allow the loops to have releasable connections/mechanisms and also allow for length adjustment.

FIG. 8B schematically illustrates an embodiment of the foot fastener disclosed herein. As shown in FIG. 8B, foot anchor 850 includes a middle foot loop 855, a rear foot loop 860, and an attachment mechanism 865. In one embodiment, medial foot loop 855 includes a fastener 870 to provide a releasable connection/mechanism. The rear foot loop 860 may also include fasteners similar to the fasteners 870. The releasable connection, with or without it, may be adjustable in length.

FIG. 9 schematically illustrates an embodiment of a hand fixator disclosed herein. As shown in fig. 9, the hand holdfast comprises a single unit that covers much of the hand like a glove, provided that the palmar region and wrist of the hand can be supported in a manner comparable to the support provided by the palm and wrist loops disclosed herein. Ideally, the hand fastener attachment mechanism remains in the palm portion of the hand. Other embodiments may include hand fixators similar to those shown in fig. 9. Additional embodiments may also include gloves that wrap the entire hand along with the fingers. For example, the glove includes a dorsal covering joined to a palm loop, a wrist loop, and a palm band. Furthermore, the glove may further comprise openings for the fingers or the fingers (the piece of material covering the fingers).

FIGS. 10A and 10B schematically illustrate one embodiment of a foot anchor as disclosed herein. As shown in Figs. 10A and 10B, the foot anchor comprises a single unit covering most or all of the foot, so long as the medial and posterior foot portions of the foot are capable of being supported in a manner comparable to the support provided by the medial and posterior foot loops disclosed herein. Ideally, the foot fastener attachment mechanism remains on the top side of the central portion of the foot. Other embodiments may include foot anchors similar to those shown in fig. 10A and 10B.

Other embodiments may include combinations or subcombinations of the features described above or shown in some of the foregoing figures, including, for example, embodiments equivalent to providing or applying a feature in a different order than described, extracting a feature from one embodiment, inserting a feature into another embodiment, removing a feature or features from one embodiment, or removing a feature or features from one embodiment while adding one or more other features extracted from another embodiment, while still providing the advantages of the features described in connection with the combinations or subcombinations. "feature" or "features" as used in this paragraph refers to a structure and/or function of a device, an article of manufacture, or a device.

References in the specification to "one embodiment," "an example embodiment," etc., indicate that the embodiment described may include a particular feature, structure, or characteristic, but every embodiment may not necessarily include the particular feature, structure, or characteristic. Further, where a particular feature, structure, or characteristic is described in connection with an embodiment, it is submitted that it is within the knowledge of one skilled in the art to effect such feature, structure, or characteristic in connection with other embodiments whether or not explicitly described.

As used herein, unless otherwise specified, the terms "about" or "approximately" when applied to a weight or tension load shall mean that the particular value is within an acceptable tolerance as would be recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art, to the extent that such value is measured or recognized. In certain embodiments, "about" or "approximately" and the like refer to a range of 1% to 30%, 0.1%, or 0.05% of a given value or range. In certain embodiments, "about" or "approximately" refers to 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, 1, 0.9, 0.5, or 0.1 inches of a given value or range. Again, it may also mean in the range of 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, 1.0, 0.5, or 0.1 lbs.

As used herein, the term "about" when applied to a weight or tensile load means a variation in the range of 5%, 10%, 20%, 25%, and 50% unless otherwise specified.

Unless the context clearly dictates otherwise, the terms (1) "and" mean conjunctive; (2) the term "or" means individually; (3) when the sentences are written in a combined mode and then followed by characters such as 'or both', the characters are combined or respectively possible; (4) the word "and" or "in the middle of the last two items in a series shall apply to all items.

Where a group of items is referred to by the word "one or more" followed by a plural number of terms, then the subsequent use of the group of one or more terms is to refer to that term in either the singular or the plural. For example, a group of items, where only a single item in the group is referred to as being "the single item", followed by a reference to "items" of the group of items.

The terms "a" or "an" object, and the like, are one or more of the described objects. Thus, "a" (or "an"), "one or more," and "at least one" are used interchangeably herein. It should also be understood that the terms "including" and "having" are used interchangeably.
