US 2014/0228183 A1 · Elastic Flat Band

Abstract

An elasic flat band exercise device has two spherically-shaped handles, each approximately the size of a golf ball or slightly larger, with a channel extending through the center of each handle. An elongated elastic flat band extends between the handles. One end section of the flat band is threaded snugly into and through each channel, such that the resistance band fits tightly in the handle, allowing the handle to slide along the band in either direction when pulled by the user, but not move when the band is held vertically. The handles are made of a firm rubber or plastic material which provides inner strength for use in absorbing the resistance band's resilient force, thereby transferring pressure off the user's hand and onto the handles. The handles each include an outer layer that is textured or consists of a foam-like rubber or plastic material to provide comfort, anti-slip grip, and aesthetic appeal.

Dependent claims

An elastic band exercise device comprising:

an elongated elastic flat band having flat upper and lower surfaces and two end sections, said flat bands being adapted to be stretched into a plurality of lengths and configurations;
and
two spheroid-shaped handles, each of the handles having a channel extending therethrough, one end section of the flat band threaded snugly into and extending through and completely out of the channel of one of the handles such that the end section remains outside the handle, and the second end section of the flat band threaded snugly into and extending through and completely out of the channel of the second handle, such that the second end section remains outside the second handle, the handles being slideable along the flat band to multiple locations along the flat band to allow the handles to be positioned at desired locations along the flat band, whereby gripping the handles permits stretching of the flat band into any of the plurality of lengths and configurations for exercising.
