Abstract
An aquatic exercise apparatus for applying a resistive force to an exercising swimmer, the apparatus includes a bracket mounted to a vertically oriented surface located above a pool of water, a container, an operational assembly comprising at least one upper pulley attached to the bracket and at least one lower pulley attached to the container, a cord passing through the at least one upper pulley and the at least one lower pulley, and a fastener configured to attach to an exercising swimmer, where the fastener is attached to a free end of the cord, and where pulling the free end of the cord moves the container upward against gravity.
Claims7
An aquatic exercise apparatus for applying a resistive force to an exercising swimmer, the aquatic exercise apparatus comprising:
- a bracket mounted to a vertically oriented surface located above a pool of water;
- a container;
- an operational assembly comprising at least one upper pulley attached to the bracket and at least one lower pulley attached to the container,
- a cord passing through the at least one upper pulley and the at least one lower pulley, and
- a fastener configured to attach to an exercising swimmer, wherein the fastener is attached to a free end of the cord;
- wherein pulling the free end of the cord moves the container upward against gravity;
- and
- wherein the aquatic exercise apparatus further comprises a plate attached to the bracket, wherein the plate defines an elongated opening configured to receive a second at least one elastic cord that is attached to the fastener.
An aquatic exercise apparatus for applying a resistive force to an exercising swimmer, the aquatic exercise apparatus comprising:
- an L-shaped bracket mounted to an object located above a pool of water, wherein the L-shaped bracket is mounted to the object via an adjustable clamp;
- a container configured to hold a liquid substance or a solid substance;
- an operational assembly comprising at least one upper pulley attached to the L-shaped bracket and at least one lower pulley attached to the container,
- a cord passing through the at least one upper pulley and the at least one lower pulley, and
- a fastener configured to attach to an exercising swimmer, wherein the fastener is attached to a free end of the cord;
- wherein pulling the free end of the cord moves the container upward against gravity;
- and
- wherein the container is located above the pool of water.
An aquatic exercise apparatus for applying a resistive force to an exercising swimmer, the aquatic exercise apparatus comprising:
- a bracket mounted to a vertically oriented surface located above a pool of water;
- a container;
- an operational assembly comprising at least one upper pulley attached to the bracket and at least one lower pulley attached to the container,
- a cord passing through the at least one upper pulley and the at least one lower pulley, and
- a fastener configured to attach to an exercising swimmer, wherein the fastener is attached to a free end of the cord;
- wherein pulling the free end of the cord moves the container upward against gravity;
- and
- wherein the bracket defines a circular opening at a distal end of the bracket, said circular opening being configured to receive a pullup bar.
