US 6,656,094 B2 · Modular component, arm, leg, and body stretching device

Abstract

The present invention is a modular component leg, arm, and body-stretching device. It includes a main ratchet component having a handle and at least one ratchet bar functionally connected to and capable of passing through the handle. The handle contains a directional ratchet-up mechanism and a trigger wherein when the trigger is depressed, the ratchet bar(s) advance toward the handle. The handle also has a release mechanism to release the ratchet bar from the ratchet-up mechanism. The ratchet bar has an auxiliary component attachment at one end thereof for attachment, directly or indirectly, if a foot or hand auxiliary component. The foot auxiliary component is for leg and body exercise, and has a rigid base for placement of a foot thereon, having a foot securing mechanism to hold a foot in place. There is also at least one attachment for connection with the ratchet bar. The hand auxiliary component is also attachable to of the ratchet bar, for arm and body exercises, and includes a handle for placement of a hand thereon and having at least one main ratchet component attachment mechanism for attachment to the ratchet bar. There may also be a yoke for connection between the main component and the auxiliary components.
