Patented Sept. 24, 1946 UNITED-[STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.
. V 1 This invention relatesvto an apparatus for playing games and exercising and it one object of the invention to provide a device consisting of weights mounted. at ends of a strip or band which extends between the weights and is of such length that it may be engaged across a persons foot and the weights impelled through the air by kicking motion. It will thus be seen that the Weights may be used as a game in competition. 7 with others or as means for exercising the muscles of a persons leg.
Another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus of this character wherein the weights are covered with close fitting casings or covers which may be formed of leather, canvas, or the like, and serve as shields 'for the weights as well as providing members to which ends of the strip or band are secured.
Another object of the invention is to provide the covers with tongues projecting therefrom and to which ends of the band are sewed.
Another object of the invention is to provide a game apparatus wherein the band may be formed of metal and have its ends pivoted to anchoring straps or plates secured in the weights.
Another object of the invention is to provide a game apparatus which is simple in construction, and capable of use by children or adults.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing wherein:
Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the device inuse.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the device.
Figure 3 is a view showing one weight with its cover partially broken away.
Figure 4 is a view of the strip or band which connects the weights.
7 2 desired. Each weight is enclosed in a cover 3 formed of leather, canvas, or other suitable material, and while the covers have each been shown formed of two companion sections of the type used for the cover of av baseball, it is to be understood that it is not intended to limit the cover to this particular formation. A tongue 4 which is preferably formed integral with the cover extends from the weight and ends of the strap or band 2 are disposed in overlapping engagement with the tongues and firmly secured thereto by stitches 5. Openings 6 and 1 may be formed through the tongues and ends of the band 2 and disposed in registration to receive the stitches or end portions of the band may be merely disposed in overlapping relation to the tongues with their curved end edges 8 bearing against the cov.
This improved game apparatus or exercising device consists of companion weights which are ers at inner ends of the tongues and the band stitched to the tongues by use of a'sewing ma chine. When the band is secured to the tongue, it will be firmly connected with the covers of the weights and it should be noted that the length of the band'is such that it may be engaged across a persons feet with its end portions depending from opposite sides thereof and the weights resting upon the ground. The weights may then be impelled through the air by akicking' motion either for exercising muscles of the leg or as a game or sports event, the person who kicks the weights the greatest distance being the winner.
What isclaimed is: 7
An apparatus for games and exercising comprising weights, leather covers for said weights, tabs extending from said covers, a band of flexible material extending between said Weights'with its ends anchored to the tabs on said covers, the ends of said band having curved edges to conform to the shape of said weights, said band being of a. length adapting it to be engaged across a 'persons foot when the weights are at opposite sides thereof whereby the weights may be impelled through the air by kicking movement of a persons leg.
