Description
- The present invention relates generally to fitness and rehabilitation devices, and more specifically to a simple, compact stretching and exercise device that can be used by persons of all ages and skills levels to improve athletic performance, reduce recovery time and minimize risk of injury. The device may also be arranged to be used for accupressure and massage therapy.
- Exercise helps people live longer and healthier lives. Doctors recommend that people of all ages try to get regular exercise, and to stay active whenever possible. Experts also recommend a warm-up routine before an intense workout and a cool down routine afterward. Both warm-up and cool down routines often include stretching and slow, controlled movements as an intermediary stage between at rest and highly active stages.
- Unfortunately, proper exercise techniques can be difficult to practice. The proper stretching forms and techniques that are recommended during a warm up or cool down can be especially difficult to accomplish correctly. Young children may not possess the skill and coordination to stretch properly. Adults engaged in a proper stretching routine often find many of the required bodily positions awkward and difficult to maintain long enough to be effective. Elderly persons often find difficulty in simple stretching techniques. Injured persons in rehabilitation programs may also have similar trouble in accomplishing proper stretching and range of motion exercises.
- Therefore, many people utilize an exercising and stretching aid in their fitness routine. Unfortunately, stretching aids are often a simple piece of rope or elastic cord, chosen for low cost and convenience of mobility. When using such nonspecialized equipment, problems can arise for a number of reasons. The cord is rarely the ideal length for the user, as people tend to find an oversized length. To compensate for the added length, users continuously change the location of their grip, which may affect the magnitude of the stretch. The cord may be too thin for the user to form a secure grip, causing the users to wrap the cord around their hand or wrist, which can be uncomfortable and may cause injury. A thin cord will also cause discomfort in the areas of bodily contact, as the pressure around the contact patch will be high. Additionally, the material of the aid may be slippery and difficult to grip or to position on the body, especially during a cool down routine when perspiration is present.
- It is important that an exercise or therapy routine be motivational. The present invention and its intended uses have been designed to not only to motivate the user but also to help maintain compliance with a selected or designated exercise or therapy routine.
- Accordingly, a device is desired that will aid in stretching and exercising that is comfortable and safe to use, while also being inexpensive and easily portable. The device would preferably be comprised of a material capable of absorbing perspiration and be easily washable by machine.
- Additionally, many people enjoy the benefits of massage and accupressure therapy, which teaches the application of pressure to known points of the body to treat various ailments. Accupressure may also be used to help the body relax. An ideal time for accupressure and general massage therapy may be after a workout, during a cool down session. It is desirable that a stretching and exercise may also function as a therapeutic massaging apparatus. Thus, the terms “exercise” or “exercising” used throughout the Description and Claims presented herein is intended to include references to fitness and rehabilitation devices and apparatus often recommended for use in the fields of massage and acupressure therapy, or the like.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a stretching and exercise device that is comfortable to use and conveniently portable.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a device capable of absorbing perspiration and that is easily washable.
- A further object of the invention is to increase the effectiveness of stretching, flexibility, range of motion, balance and strengthening exercises.
- A still further object of the invention is to decrease rehabilitation time and quicken recovery.
- Yet another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus that can be used for massage and accupressure therapy.
- The present invention comprises a web of flexible material formed into a tubular structure. Each tube end is sewn shut, and a number of internal pockets are formed within the tubular structure. Multiple openings are formed along the tube, each allowing access to a preselected internal pocket. Accessible pockets may then receive therapeutic orbs or other internally located objects that may perform various functions, such as to aid in gripping the device. A resealable fastener device, such as hook and loop fasteners, a zipper, snap fasteners, or even common button/button hole fasteners may be used to close each opening. The openings are preferably formed near each end of the tube and in a substantially centrally located portion of the tube. A selected orb, such as a conventional tennis ball, or other resilient object may be inserted into each pocket through the appropriate opening, and the opening is then closed.
- The invention can be constructed from any suitable web-like material. The insertable objects can be any type of spherical or non-spherical structure that properly accomplishes the intended purpose of the object, The intended purpose may change according to the location of the pocket in which the object will reside. Some examples are to provide a comfortable gripping means for the user, and to provide pressure to certain points of the user's body. The weight of the elements may vary depending upon the specific use of the apparatus. The overall length of the apparatus may vary depending upon the specialized application or the user. For example a male adult would most likely use a relatively long apparatus, a female adult a medium length apparatus and a child a short apparatus.
- FIG. 1 is a plan view, partially exploded, of an exercise device constructed in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the device of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 is an overall perspective view of the present invention illustrating two laterally spaced pressure points on the neck of a user to which an orb may be placed in contact during an acupressure procedure.
- FIG. 4 is an overall perspective view of the present invention when used in connection with a stretching exercise conducted by a user while in a standing position.
- Although the disclosure hereof is detailed and exact to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, the physical embodiments herein disclosed merely exemplify the invention, which may be embodied in other specific structure. While the preferred embodiment has been described, the details may be changed without departing from the invention, which is defined by the claims.
- Referring to FIG. 1, the
preferred embodiment 10 of the present invention is depicted. The present invention comprises a substantiallytubular structure 12 having at least oneinternal pocket 14 and at least one internalresilient object 20. As disclosed in the view of FIG. 1, a preferred embodiment utilizes three objects ororbs left end pocket 14 a, theright end pocket 14 b and the centrally locatedpocket 14 c, respectively. The opening oropenings 22 are of a size permitting access of anorb internal pocket openings 22 may further includeresealable fasteners 24 for retaining theresilient object 20 within arespective pocket 14 during use. - The
tubular structure 12 may be constructed from any suitable web-like material 26 including, but not limited to, cloth, silk, canvas or mesh. The web-like material 26 is preferably strong but soft, flexible, absorbent and able to provide some amount of friction to aid in grip. Thematerial 26 will preferably be an absorbent material, such as “terry cloth” commonly used in the manufacture of toweling and capable of being washed and dried by machine. Theapparatus 10 may be made from asingle web 26 folded lengthwise to provide an enclosingcrease 13 substantially coextensive with the length of thestructure 12. The fold is preferably sewn shut at spaced intervals 17 along theside 19 opposite thecrease 13. - The
end portions 30 of thetubular structure 12 are closed to provide at least oneinternal pocket 14 formed within thestructure 12. Thepockets 14 are each formed by conventionalsewing thread stitching 32, or by adhesive or heat fusion techniques to join the facing internal surfaces of the foldedweb 26 surfaces at longitudinally spaced intervals, and lying transversely relative to thelengthwise crease 13 to definedpocket dividers 32. Various embodiments of the present invention may contain different numbers and arrangements of the internal pockets 14. Thepreferred embodiment 10 includes threeinternal pockets 14, including twoend pockets 4 a, 14 b and a centrally locatedpocket 14 c. - Contained within at least one of said
internal pockets orb 20. Theobject 20 may serve multiple purposes, such as providing a means of gripping the device and providing a substantially rigid shape that is conducive to massage and accupressure therapy. A preferred object ororb 10 is in the form of a conventional tennis ball. - The primary purpose of the centrally located
object 20 c is to provide a fairly rigid, but flexible localized area to aid in the transfer of pressure to a pressure point region. A secondary function of the centrally locatedobject 20 c is to provide a gripping area for use when manipulating theinvention 10. Although theseresilient objects 20 have preferred functions, based on location, each is capable of performing either function. - Because the preferred function of any given
resilient object 20 may change with its location along the length of thetubular structure 12,different objects 20 may be chosen for having different properties. Properties that may affect the choice may be size, shape, hardness, resilience or flexibility. For example, in thepreferred embodiment 10, the end objects 20 a and 20 c may be fairly large, but somewhat soft, capable contouring to a user's hand quickly during a given exercise. Thecentral object 20 c may be a smaller, harder, spherical object that transfers pressure more effectively. - It should be noted that no two
objects 20 are required to be substantially alike. Theobjects 20 may also be custom selected for the individual user. Additionally,individual pockets 14 may or may not contain anobject 20.Individual pockets 14 may also contain multiple objects. - The invention preferably utilizes at least one
pocket opening 22. Eachopening 22 provides reclosable access to aninternal pocket 14, and may be located anywhere on the device. Theopenings 22 allow theresilient objects 20 to be removed and exchanged, permitting the device to more easily serve multiple functions. Theobjects 20 may also be removed while the device is being washed. - Each
opening 22 preferably includes aresealable fastener 24 to secure an object, or objects 20 within arespective pocket resealable fasteners 24 may be of any appropriate type, such as zippers, buttons or snaps. Thefasteners 24 will preferably be fairly soft, flexible, and allow an internal connection. Thepreferred embodiment 10 uses a hook andloop style fastener 24 of the variety commonly known as “VELCRO”®. - Referring to FIG. 4, the device is shown in muscle stretching exercising usage. The length of the
structure 12 is essential to achieving the proper stretching and motion techniques. Therefore, various users require astructure 12 of various lengths. - As illustrated in FIG. 3, the
device 10, including anobject 20 c, provides a useful, and comfortable, acupressure apparatus. As will be observed, a person being treated for headaches or stiff neck, or difficulty turning the head, merely grips theend portions 30, containingorbs web structure 12 to tighten the area of theorb 20 c and press theorb 20 c against a selectedacupressure treating area - Another use for the device is rotational exercise techniques. Such techniques are used to strengthen, stabilize and challenge pre-selected muscle groups that are used in various activities. Rotational exercise techniques also increase joint health, muscle flexibility and agility, as well as eye hand coordination. One or more gripping portions of the device are grasped by the user and moved in a predetermined pattern.
- The foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Furthermore, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described. While the preferred embodiment has been described, the details may be changed without departing from the invention, which is defined by the claims.
