Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional patent application No. 63/176,775, entitled “TORQUE FORCE CABLE HANDLES AND CABLE MACHINE,” filed Apr. 19, 2021, which is incorporated herein by reference. The present application is related to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/114,482, filed Nov. 16, 2020, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/943,962, filed Jul. 30, 2020, PCT International Application No. PCT/US20/44315, filed Jul. 30, 2020, and PCT International Application No. PCT/US19/35886, filed Jun. 6, 2019, the disclosures of all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties for all purposes.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates generally to a training system, and more specifically and not by way of limitation, some embodiments are related to a torque force training system including in particular torque force cable handles and a cable machine.

BACKGROUND

Sports training and coaching have always been an effective way to teach a philosophy, technique, or an athletic trait to an athlete in order to achieve and maintain physical prowess and success. Across all sports, coaches, and trainers instill valuable techniques that enable athletes to move their bodies in response to stimuli or to properly achieve a maximum effort towards a specific goal or feat.
Weights or other resistance training devices are often used by coaches or trainers to create physical exertion levels above and beyond what the body experiences in sports to make the athlete stronger, faster, or more physically fit. However, many athletes need additional specialized tools to absorb the proper technique and/or improve athletic form or performance. Muscle memory also plays a role in the athlete developing proper form or technique during sports. Adjustments or tweaks to an athlete's form or technique are often needed to unleash the individual's true potential. Tools or techniques that teach positive muscle memory to athletes are becoming increasingly important in achieving success at the highest levels of sports. Current weights or standard resistance systems may not be as advantageous as initially thought due to the creation of poor muscle memory from torque or improper weight distribution of the tool or device. For example, current dumbbells have been viewed as an excellent tool for building up strength, speed, and endurance for boxing training. However, on closer examination, the weight distribution creates a negative torque on the wrists and elbows, resulting in poor form and technique. The use of these current dumbbells can even cause injury to joints and connective tissue over time. The same can be true across many other sports, including track and field events, long distance running, golf, hockey, baseball, basketball, football, and other hand and eye coordination sports. Therefore, there is a need for a torque force directional cable-based system that allows for the weight to be distributed in and across the hand during physical activities, such as exercise or training.

SUMMARY

In one example implementation, an embodiment includes a directional cable-based system includes one or more handheld handle devices. Each handheld handle device includes a handle frame, a cable grip revolving around a front portion of the handle frame, a hood fixedly attached to the handle frame, and a swivel assembly fixedly attached to a top of the hood.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The detailed description set forth below in connection with the appended drawings is intended as a description of configurations and is not intended to represent the only configurations in which the concepts described herein may be practiced. The detailed description includes specific details for the purpose of providing a thorough understanding of various concepts. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that these concepts may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well known structures and components are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid obscuring such concepts.
Several aspects of example systems will now be presented with reference to various apparatus and methods. These apparatus and methods will be described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, components, circuits, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively referred to as “elements”). These elements may be implemented using various components, hardware, electronic hardware, computer software, or any combination thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends upon the particular application and design constraints imposed on the overall system.
Some handheld weight units were previously described in related applications, such as U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/188,048 filed Jun. 21, 2016, U.S. Patent Application No. 62/682,707 filed Jun. 8, 2018, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/943,962 filed Jul. 30, 2020, PCT Patent Application No. PCT/US20/44315 filed Jul. 30, 2020, and PCT Patent Application No. PCT/US19/35886, filed Jun. 6, 2019, the entire contents and disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
A torque force training system as disclosed in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/114,482, its entire content and disclosure are incorporated herein by reference, may also include one or more of dumbbell system of torque cable/exercise tension with connecting bars, rope grips, a massage tool system, and bended bars with connective methods.
Embodiments of the present disclosure include torque force cable handles and a cable machine. In some embodiments, the torque force cable handles and cable machines may activate muscle groups of a user across multiple planes of directional intensity during exercise or sports movement training. Unlike traditional gym or band cable handles and machines that are one dimensional with a single point of attaching bands or cables for added intensity or weight, the torque force cable handles and cable machines of the present disclosure may provide additional and more advantageous cable or band attachment zones for a new separate directional torque on the body. It should be noted that attachment zones are not limited to 1 additional zone per handle, as shown in the examples herein.
The directional intensity may be in the form of wire cables attached to one or more of weighted plates, tension wheels, latex, or other types of tension bands (e.g., rubber tube) that may be fixed to the cage of the machine. In addition, the cable machine may have multiple adjustable arms that extend outward from the machine to provide additional directional flow throughout the plane of exercise.
Exercises or sports movements that only incorporate one-directional intensity may limit an athlete's muscle activation to a singular torque motion or directional flow. By adding multiple directional intensities, as with the torque force cable handles and cable machines of the present disclosure, the athlete can increase and isolate muscle activation across the entire range of motion. For example, a standard crossover cable chest exercise may provide isolation from a lateral plane of intensity on the pectoral major muscles. However, by adding a second cable or band tension, the athlete can add horizontal intensity to the motion and target the pectoral major and minor and shoulders, back, and core muscles all in one motion. The blending of directional intensities with the torque force cable system of the present disclosure may strengthen core engagement and activate stabilization muscles throughout the body during the entire motion of the exercise. The blending of directional intensities with the torque force cable system of the present disclosure may also add intensity from multiple planes of activating without the need to increase the weight. The use of lower weight due to the blending of directional intensities with the torque force cable system may lower the risk of injury or muscular tear from adding too much weight to any one singular directional exercise.
An example system of the present disclosure may include the addition of directional intensity attachment zones to handheld gym cables, home gym handheld handles, or bars. In addition, the attachment zones may correspond to specific locations on the cable machine cage or stand. In an example embodiment, an attachment zone may lock in and attach a directional tension from either a band or wire cable attached to weights, a flywheel, or any other form of intensity. The system may provide directional intensity training for sports specific movements or exercise, or therapeutic motion in some applications. The directional intensity may come from several locations on a door, stand, cage, bench, or wall-mounted training system in the home gym environment.
The handles may be made from steel in some embodiments and provide a steel swivel eye for fluid motion. The handles may be capable of intensity up to, e.g., 400 pounds or more. Still, any high-impact plastic may also be advantageous to reduce costs and increase production speed through injection molding.
Functionality
Training on the Torque Force directional cable-based system of the present disclosure may provide the athlete with a more functional form of exercise. The system may provide the athlete with a more functional form of exercise because the movement patterns using the Torque Force directional cable-based system of the present disclosure may be more akin to real-life movements. For example, movements such as lunging, squatting, pushing, pulling, bending, and twisting may be performed. In an example embodiment, an athlete's movements may not be constrained by a rigid machine or bar. In some example embodiments, the legs may be trained from a standing position, therefore mimicking actions such as standing from a seated position, climbing stairs, walking, and balancing on one leg. Training with the Torque Force directional cable-based system of the present disclosure may improve the user's balance, especially with multiple planes of intensity that may be applied to specific movements.
Constant Tension from Multiple Directional Flow
The Torque Force Cable System of the present disclosure may provide constant multiple directional tension while performing exercises and sports movements. Because muscle growth and strength increases may be directly based on how much tension is placed on the muscle during the exercise, the cable handles and machines may fatigue muscles faster and result in greater strength gains without overloading or maximizing weight load.
Variety of Movements
As the users become more proficient in adding directional intensity from the handles and cable machines, the users may discover a multitude of exercises that may be done at a single machine. Having many exercises that may be done on a single machine may allow the user to switch between various exercises quickly. Such a system may allow a user to work the user's upper body and lower body simultaneously from many directional flow exercises. Additionally, one or more of a waist band, belt, or ankle straps may be included in some embodiments. The waistband, belt, or ankle straps may have multiple attachment zones. The waistband, belt, or ankle straps may be advantageous to train the entire body during functional or sports-specific motions.
