Filed:

Aug 22, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/859349

Inventors:

Soren A. Loft - Monrovia CA 91016
Victor Konovalov - Walnut CA 91789
Richard L. Rasmussen - Monrovia CA 91016

International Classification:

A63B 21015

US Classification:

482115, 482114

Abstract:

An arm exercising device for strengthening a users biceps and triceps. The device has an upper arm support platform which is attached to the users upper arm. The upper arm platform is hinged to a hand driven arm. The hand driven arm holds a handle so that the handle can slide along the hand driven arm as the exerciser pulls and pushes the hand driven arm with respect to the upper arm platform. Friction is provided at a pivot point between these two members so that the users bicep is exercised during the pulling in of the hand driven arm and the tricep is exercised as the hand driven arm is pushed outwardly. The device can also be attached between a users chest and an arm and used to exercise deltoid and lateral muscles.

US Classification:

331 945G

Abstract:

This application discloses a laser which is free from dependence on oxygen atom dissociators and does not require any electrical input. It is a purely chemical CO laser. This invention discloses a laser in which the combustion is fueled by a suitable fuel-oxidizer, e. g. , CH. sub. 4 --H. sub. 2 --CS. sub. 2 --NF. sub. 3, which dissociates the CS. sub. 2 into CS and S. The S atoms are generated in the combustor to initiate the chain reaction sequence in which the S,O. sub. 2 and CS react so that all of the CS is converted to excited CO which lases in the optical cavity.
