Definitions
- This invention relates to exercising apparatus, specifically apparatus for exercising an individuals hand.
- the present invention provides an exercising apparatus of the above type, particularly adapted for the exercising of the human hand which, however, is of slight bulk, is light, and thereby easily portable and which is relatively inexpensive to manufacture.
- the present invention also provides an exerciser which not only maintains the hand or arm in heated surroundings, but which provides a heated hand-contacting exercising element for applying heat directly to the hand as it is exercised.
- the present invention comprises an elongated hand muff open at one end and closed at the other, said muff comprising an elongated thermo-conductive inner shell and an outer thermo-insulating cover encasing said shell, a heat generator located between the shell and cover adjacent the closed end of the muff so as to heat said shell, and a resiliently compressible handgrip located inside the muff adjacent the latters closed end.
- FIGURE 1 is an isometric view of the invention with portions thereof being partially removed to permits its various components thereof to be more readily viewed, and
- FIGURE 2 is a section of the apparatus taken along line 22 of FIGURE 1.
- the exerciser herein accorded the numeral 10 is in the form of a muff, of ,a size and length suitable to enclose the individuals hand and a portion of his forearm.
- muff is formed of an inner tubular shell 12, said shell being of rigid construction and preferably made of a material having low thermoconductive properties, such as fibreboard.
- This shell is of a length and has an inside diameter sufiicient to loosely accept the hand and arm of the individual wishing to take exercise.
- An elongated metallic pin or shaft 14 extends transversely of the shell through the walls 16 thereof, the ends 17 of said shaft being peened against the outer surface of the shell.
- This metallic pin or shaft which is located near one end 18 of the shell, serves ,as a rigid support for a resiliently compressible handgrip 19. It is intended that this grip shall serve as the exercising media, that is, that it shall be sufficiently soft so as to permit the fingers of the hand to per-form a kneading action. It is preferred that said grip shall be made of soft rubber which not only permits the above-mentioned finger action, but also serves as an electr-o-insulative cover over the metallic pin or shaft 14.
- the shell 12 is heated by means of an electric heating coil 21 which is wrapped therearound adjacent its end 18, at least one of the turns of the coil overlying and being in contact with the peened ends 17 of said metallic pin 14.
- This coil is connected in any suitable manner to a source of electric power, not shown.
- this sleeve or cover is preferably made of a soft fibrous material and is drawn over the end 18 of the shell and sewn or tied to effectively close the latter.
- Exercising apparatus comprising an elongated rnufi open at one end and closed at the other, said muff comprising a rigid elongated thermo-conductive inner shell and an outer thermo-insulating cover encasing said shell, a heat generator located between the shell and cover adjacent the closed end of the muff so as to heat said shell, a resiliently compressible handgrip located inside the muff adjacent the closed end of the latter, and a heat conductive element having a high coeflicient of thermo-conductivity extending through the walls of the shell and being in direct association with both the heat generator and handgrip so as to conduct the heat from the former to the latter.
- Exercising apparatus comprising an elongated hand muff open at one end and closed at the other, said muff comprising an elongated thermo-conductive inner shell and an outer thermo-insulating cover encasing said shell, electric heating coils connectable to a source of electric power wrapped about the shell beneath the cover so as to heat said shell, said coils being located adjacent the closed end of the muff, .a shaft formed of a highly thermo-conductive material extending transversely through the shell adjacent the closed end of the muff and contacting the heating coils so as to be heated thereby, and a resilient rubber handgrip encasing the shaft so as to be heated by the latter.
- Exercising apparatus comprising an elongated hand muff open at one end and closed at the other, said muff comprising an elongated thermo-conductive inner shell formed of a material having a low coefficient of thermocondnctivity, and an outer thermo-insulating cover encasing said shell, electric heating coils connectable to .a source of electric power wrapped about the shell beneath the cover so as to heat said shell, said coils being located adjacent the closed end of the muff, a shaft formed of a highly thermo-conductive material extending transversely through the shell adjacent the closed end of the muff and contacting the heating coils so as to be heated thereby, and a resilient rubber handgrip encasing the shaft so as to be heated by the latter.
- Exercising apparatus comprising an elongated hand muff open at one end and closed at the other, said muff comprising .an elongated thermo-conductive inner shell and an outer thermo-insulating cover encasing said shell, 21 heat generator located between the shell and cover so as to heat said shell, 21 resiliently compressible handgrip located inside the muff, and a heat conductive element having a high coefiicient of thermo-conductivity extending through the walls of the shell and being in direct association with both the heat generator and handgrip so as to 10 conduct the heatfrom the former to the latter.
