Abstract
A jump rope combination, which includes a single length of jump rope being sufficiently long to allow a large adult to use, a handle detachably secured to each end of the length of rope, each handle comprising a body portion for gripping by the hand, a bore in the body portion for threading each end of the rope therethrough to a desired length, and a continuous channel formed in the outer wall of the body portion for allowing the excess length of rope extending from the handle to be secured within the continuous channel, so that the body may be gripped. In a second embodiment, the rope includes conventional handles having a continuous channel in the handles for allowing excess rope to reside in the channels for determining the various lengths of the jump rope.

An improved jump rope apparatus, comprising:
- a) a portion of rope of a maximum determined length and having first and second end portions;
- b) first and second handle portions, each first and second handle portions each comprising:
- i) a substantially circular body portion;
- ii) a pair of channels formed in the body portion;
- iii) a bore formed through the body portion for allowing one end of the first and second end portions of equal length of rope to be threaded through each of the first and second body portions for obtaining the desired length of jump rope between each of the body portions, and the first and second end portions of rope wrapped within the channels of each first and second body portions, so that each first and second body portions with the rope wrapped thereupon may be gripped as each first and second handle portions.
An improved jump rope apparatus, comprising:
- a) a portion of rope of a predetermined length and having first and second end portions;
- b) first and second handle portions, each first and second handle portions further comprising:
- i) a pair of channels formed in each of the first and second handle portions, said channels defining a continuous channel along the wall of each of the second handle portions;
- iii) a bore formed through each of the handle portions for allowing one end of the first and second end portions of rope to be threaded through each of the first and second handle portions for obtaining the desired length of jump rope between each of the handle portions, and the first and second end portions of rope wrapped within the channels of each first and second handle portions, so that each first and second handle portions with the rope wrapped thereupon may be gripped by the user to maintain the lengths of rope within each of the handle portions.
An improved jump rope apparatus adjustable in length, comprising:
- a) a portion of rope of a maximum determined length and having first and second end portions;
- b) first and second handle portions, each first and second handle portion comprising a first and second end portion with a gripping portion intermediate the first and second end portions;
- c) a channel formed in an exterior wall of each of the first and second end portions for defining a continuous channel along the wall of each of the handle members;
- d) each end of the portion of rope threaded through a port in each of the first and second handle portions, with any excess rope capable of residing within the channels formed in the exterior wall of each of the first and second end portions.
