Description
, UNITED STATES EUGEN SANDOW, OF LONDON, ENGLAND.
EXERCISING-MACHINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 610,416, dated September 6, 1898.
, Application filed N v 8, 1897. Serial No. 657,794. (No model.)
T0 on whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EUGEN SANDOW, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, residing at London, England, have invented new and useful Improved Apparatus for Promoting Muscular or Physical Development, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to that class of exerciser or apparatus for promoting muscular or physical development in which handles attachedto elastic cords or straps or weighted cords or straps or the like are employed to resist the various movements of the arms or body of the user, and the same will be readily understood on reference to the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 illustrates my invention applied to an exerciser for which Letters Patent were granted to me in the United States of America, numbered 588,017, dated August 10, 1897. Figs.v 2 and 3 show modified forms of the handles which I propose to use.
The invention consists principally in the combination with elastic cordssuch, for example, as seen at a, Fig.1, or their equivalentsof weigh ted handles 17, which constitute dumb-bells and are preferably .in the form of dumb-bells, as seen at Fig. l. I thus obtain an exerciser having an action on the muscles of the user diiferent from that of ordinary dumb-bells and from that of the usual elasticcord or weighted-cord exerciser. As shown in Fig. 1, the elastic cords a, to which the handles b are attached, are secured to and carried by the central device or ring (1, which is itself attached to the fixed structure by the elastic cords a, constituting the springcounteracting devices.
I propose, further, to make the ends or heads I) of the dumb-bell or handle 5 removable, as seen at ,Fig. 2, so that they may be used without weights or so that the weights 1) may be replaced by similarparts, heavier, as shown dotted on Fig. 2, or lighter, as desired, or these ends or heads I) may be made hollow, as seenat FigL'S, and means provided, such as the opening and screwed plug 11 for weighting them, more or less, with shot or the like, in which case they may or may not be removable, or other means may be adopted for altering the weight of the handles.
I claim as my invention 1. The herein-described apparatus for muscular or physical development, consisting of a plurality of cords, with counteracting devices attached thereto, and handles Weighted F to constitute dumb-bells connected to said cords whereby a combined strain acting simultaneously on the muscles can be obtained, partly such as that produced by a dumb-bell,
and partly such as that produced by a cord exerciser, substantially as set forth.
2. The herein-described apparatus for muscularor physical development, consisting of a plurality of cords, with counteracting devices attached thereto, and handles provided with alterable Weights thereon to constitute dumb-bells attached to said cords, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
3. The herein-described apparatus for muscular or physical development, consisting of elastic cords, a central device to which said cords are attached, counteracting springs connected to and supporting said central device, and handles Weighted to constitute dumb-bells attached to said cords, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
4. The herein-described apparatus for muscular or physical development, consisting of.
EUGEN SANDOW.
