EXERCIS ING DEVICE.
Y '0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN H. BRoeAN, a
' citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of'Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Exercising Devices, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to exercising devices and. more particularly to that class of exerciser adapted to be gripped by the two hands and maneuvered about the body.
The main object of my invention is to produce a device of the kind that when properly used will bring as many ofthe muscles of the body as possible into active and strenuous play, even into violent op eration, if desired.
"With this object in view, I have produced an exerciser in which elasticity has been eliminated as a'feature, thus causing a positive action upon the muscles brought into lay.
p One of my principal 'objects is to produce a strong, durable and eflicient device, at
a .cost sulficiently low to be within the reach of almost any one.
WVith these and other objects in view, I endeavor to clearly illustrate my invention in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a top plan view of my exerciser, Fig. 2 is a view of the handle of my device with the hand grip in longitudinal section, Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of one end connecting strap, showing the re inforcing means and a portion of the handle, Fig. 4 is. a detail of the reinforcing device, Fig, 5 is a view of the central part of the strap shown in sect-ion with a shortening device, Fig. 6 is a device for shortening the strap.
Like numerals of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views and in the specification.
My exerciser consists of a flexible nonelastic member 1, approximately the length of a persons arm. This member is attached at each end to an arc-shaped handle or bail as 2 and 3, to which are secured the revolving hand grips 4 and 5, through the medium of the bosses 6 which are counter sunk into the ends of the hand grips and Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed January 22, 1910. Serial No. 539,571.
the extreme ends of which are enlarged to form a head. 9. The bosses 6 are secured to the hand grips by nails or screws 10, or by any other suitable means.
The ends 11 of the member 1 are passed over reinforcing members 12 which engage the bails 2 and 3 and return upon thems'elves forming an eye 13 therein which is somewhat larger than the bail allowing of its free movement on the bail. The member 1 and the reinforcing members 12 are secured to one another and to the .bail through the medium of the rivets 14 or the The portion 15 of the reinforcing member 12 which bears against the 'bail member is arc-shaped and has a smooth surface so that it will have a free and-easy form bearings 7 for the ends of the bails 8,
movement on the bail and will readily slide from one part to another thereof.
A shortening device 16, may be secured to the member 1 for the purpose of chang'-' ing the length of the exerciser as-shown in ig. 4. Y
The member 1 may be constructed of any desired flexible, non-elastic material such as leather or the like. This member has a swinging motion on the bails and also has a lateral sliding motion thereon. The hand grips have a revolving motion on the bails and these three independent motions permit of a rapid and easy movement of the parts making the exerciseradapt itself to any angle or position.
The exerciser is preferably about the length of the arm of the person using it but may be longer or shorter as found desirable, the shorter the device .the more violent the exercise. When lengthened it becomes milder.
To procure-the best results the hands should embrace the hand grips with the palms. facing outwardly and the exerciser should be raised first above the head, then lowered toward the back of the body and maneuvered into as many positionsas possible.- When properly used this exerciser will bring practically all the muscles of the arms and trunk of the body as well as many of the muscles of the lower extremities into play, expands the chest, enforces deep breathing and excites the blood into a rapid parting from'the spirit of my invention.
