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.

US Classification:

482 81

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.

Abstract:

A tongue debridement aid includes an elongated handle with tongue debridement structure disposed at one end. The tongue debridement structure has a cupped region having an endwall and first and second sidewalls contiguous with the endwall which is disposed at an obtuse angle with respect to said elongated handle and a working edge region disposed along at least the edge of the endwall and typically extends secondarily along the edges of the first and second sidewalls. In use, debris, including microorganisms, may be debrided from the dorsum of the tongue and collected in the cupped region by placing the working edge region on the back of the dorsum, applying moderate pressure and drawing the tongue debridement aid toward the tip of the tongue. The collected debris may then be rinsed away. In order to provide a comprehensive oral hygiene instrument, a fixed or detachable toothbrush head may optionally be provided at the distal end of the elongated handle.
