Abstract
A resistance band tensioner is disclosed. The tensioner includes a main body and a pivot pin disposed on the main body proximate a first end, where the main body is configured to rotate about the pivot pin between an up position and a down position. The tensioner also includes a handle extending from a second end of the main body configured for a user to grasp with a hand. A cantilever shaft extends outward perpendicular from the main body and is interposed between the handle and the pivot pin, where the shaft is adapted to secure a first portion of a resistance band around its periphery. In addition, the tensioner includes a locking pin to lock the tensioner in the down position when the resistance band is placed under tension by rotating the main body from the up position to the down position.
Claims20
A resistance band tensioner, the tensioner comprising:
- a main body;
- a pivot pin disposed on the main body proximate a first end, wherein the main body is configured to rotate about the pivot pin between an up position and a down position;
- a handle extending from a second end of the main body, wherein the handle is configured for a user to grasp with a hand;
- a cantilever shaft extending outward from the main body, wherein the shaft is adapted to secure a first portion of a resistance band around its periphery;
- and
- a locking pin to lock the tensioner in the down position when the resistance band is placed under tension by rotating the main body from the up position to the down position.
A resistance band tensioner, the tensioner comprising:
- a pivot pin proximate a first end of the tensioner and configured to rotatably secure the tensioner so that the tensioner is configured to rotate about the pivot pin between an up position and a down position;
- a handle extending from a second end of the tensioner, wherein the handle is configured to assist in moving the tensioner between the up and down positions;
- a perpendicular shaft extending outward from the tensioner between the pivot pin and the handle, wherein the shaft is adapted to secure a first portion of a resistance band around its periphery and a second portion of the resistance band is adapted to be secured around a piece of weight lifting equipment;
- and
- a locking pin to lock the tensioner in the down position when the resistance band is placed under tension by rotating the tensioner from the up position to the down position.
A resistance band tensioner, the tensioner comprising:
- a pivot pin disposed on a first end of the tensioner and configured to rotatably secure the tensioner to an object;
- a handle extending from an opposing second end of the tensioner along a longitudinal centerline;
- a shaft extending outward from the tensioner between the pivot pin and the handle and configured to secure a first portion of a resistance band around its periphery and a second portion of the resistance band is adapted to be secured around a piece of weight lifting equipment;
- and
- a removable locking pin to lock the tensioner in the down position when the resistance band is placed under tension by rotating the tensioner from the up position to the down position.
