Appl. No.:

11/846307

Inventors:

Ricardo Gamboa - Monterey Park CA, US
Peter T. Garcia - Claremont CA, US

Assignee:

Borg Unlimited, Inc. - Monterey Park CA

International Classification:

A63B 5/20
A63B 15/00

US Classification:

482 82, 482109

Abstract:

A rope-less jump rope exercise device includes a handle and a flexible, elongated lash having a first end associated with the handle and a second end. A ball-and-socket assembly interconnects the first end of the lash and the handle in order to provide rotary movement of the lash relative to the handle in all directions. The handle, lash and ball-and-socket assembly form one half of a pair of identical jump rope exercise assemblies which jointly comprise the jump rope exercise device. Alternatively, a rope-less jump rope exercise device includes a handle defining an inner cavity and a flexible, elongated lash having a first end at partially disposed within the inner cavity and a second end. A spring disposed within the inner cavity is configured to interconnect the handle and the lash and resist movement of the lash out of the inner cavity.

Abstract:

A rope-less jump rope and resistance exercise device includes a jump rope handle having a longitudinal length between a first and second end. A resistance handle is attached to the first end of the jump rope handle disposed substantially perpendicular to the jump rope handle. A single ball-and-socket assembly is attached between the second end of the jump rope handle and a receiver. An elongated lash includes a connector end and a free end, where the connector end is removably connectable with the receiver. The receiver includes a slotted aperture and a stop. An elongated and resiliently stretchable resistance member includes a pair of second connector ends, where either of the pair of second connector ends are removably connectable with the receiver. An identical pair of the jump rope handle, ball-and-socket assembly, receiver, lash and resistance member form the rope-less jump rope and resistance exercise device.
