Abstract
Embodiments herein illustrate a device for strengthening muscles. The device includes a center rod provided with a ratchet mechanism. The center rod is configured to position a strap at a central portion of the center rod for holding a weight. A pair of handles connected to the center rod. Each handle of the pair of handles being able to rotate either in a clockwise direction or an anticlockwise direction. The strap winds up using the ratchet mechanism while rotating at least one handle of the pair of handles. Each handle of the pair of handles is connected with a pinion for blocking rotation of the ratchet mechanism. The pinion is configured to allow a quick release of the winded strap.
Claims8
A device for strengthening muscles, comprising:
- a center rod provided with a ratchet mechanism, wherein the center rod is configured to position a strap at a central portion of the center rod for holding a weight;
- a pair of handles connected to the center rod, each handle of the pair of handles being able to rotate either in a clockwise direction or an anticlockwise direction, wherein the strap winds up using the ratchet mechanism while rotating at least one handle of the pair of handles,
- each handle of the pair of handles is connected with a pinion for blocking rotation of the ratchet mechanism, and
- the pinion is configured to allow a quick release of the strap wherein the pinion is directly pressable to disengage from the ratchet mechanism to allow the quick release of the strap.
A method for strengthening muscles, the method comprising:
- positioning a strap at a central portion of a center rod;
- coupling the strap to the center rod using a fastening mechanism;
- adding, to a distal end of the strap, a weight;
- securing, using a fastener, the distal end of the strap to the strap;
- rotating, a pair of handles, clockwise or anticlockwise;
- winding, upward, the strap;
- pressing, downward, a pinion;
- releasing, downward, the strap;
- and
- repeating the steps of winding the strap upward and releasing the strap downward based on an individual's preferences.
