Abstract
An exercise device comprising a pneumatic hand pump with a valve in the exhaust port. The hand pump is pivotally attached to a folding metal chair or, in an alternate embodiment, to an elongated step board for easy use and storage and provides exercise and muscle toning when pumped against a strong force caused by a nearly closed valve in the exhaust port.
Claims8
A fluid hand pump exercising device, comprising:
- a. an elongated tubular body having an interior, a first end, a second end, a first fluid port to said interior, and a second fluid port to said interior;
- b. a slidable tubular shaft extending through said first end of said elongated tubular body and into the interior of said elongated tubular body, said slidable tubular shaft terminating in a piston lying within said interior of said tubular body, said slidable tubular shaft further terminating in a handle outside the interior of said tubular body;
- c. a second manually adjustable valve located at said second fluid port to control the flow of fluid from said interior of said elongated tubular body;
- d. a first fluid valve located at said first port of said tubular member, said first fluid valve located at said handle of said slidable tubular shaft and being in communication with said slidable tubular shaft;
- and
- e. means for pivotally mounting said second end of said tubular body to a stationary fixture.
