Abstract
An apparatus for an abdominal exerciser device in the general shape of an adult human cervical spine which acts to fix the position of the neck and cervical spine during a stomach crunch exercise movement is presented. The abdominal exerciser device comprises three major components: the device spine, the cushion assemblies, and the hand straps. The device spine is a bar or tube curved to follow the adult human cervical and upper thoracic spine and provides attachment points for the cushion assemblies and straps. The cushion assemblies are contact points for the exerciser's head and upper back, while the straps allow the exerciser to keep contact with the exerciser device during the exercise movement with minimal force.
Claims19
An abdominal exerciser device for use by an exerciser to exercise the abdominal muscles in a crunch exercise movement, the device comprising:
- a device spine, having a convex curve and a concave curve;
- a head cushion assembly, attached on a dorsal side at one end of the device spine;
- a back cushion assembly, attached on a dorsal side at another end of the device spine;
- and
- at least one strap, attached on a ventral side at both ends of the device spine,
- wherein the head cushion assembly is a contact point for the exerciser's head, the back cushion assembly is a contact point for the exerciser's upper back, and the at least one strap enables the exerciser to maintain contact with the head cushion assembly and the back cushion assembly during the crunch exercise movement.
An abdominal exerciser device to fix a proper position of an exerciser's neck during a crunch exercise movement, the device comprising:
- a solid bar modeled on a general curvature of a cervical and intercepting thoracic regions of a human spine;
- a head cushion, for placement of an exerciser's head, attached at or near to a first end of the solid bar;
- a back cushion, for placement of the exerciser's upper back, attached at or near to a second end of the solid bar;
- and
- a first and second Y-shaped strap, each Y-shaped strap attached on the top of the Y-shape at each end of the solid bar,
- wherein the exerciser grasps one Y-shaped strap at the bottom of the Y-shape in each hand and applies a minimal amount of force to maintain contact with the head cushion and back cushion during the crunch exercise movement.
