Abstract
Disclosed is a jump rope comprising: an oil impregnated bushing; having a pair of handles with an external surface treatment. Additionally, the rope may include a fastener attached to each end and secured within the head of the jump rope yet still free to rotate about an axis formed by the centerline of the rope body. In some configurations a universal joint is attached to each end and secured to the jump rope handle, with one end of the input yoke acting as a column for rotation and one end of the output yoke used to secure the rope, and both free ends of each yoke attaching to the cross-trunnion to complete the assembly.
Claims16
A jump rope assembly, comprising:
- a rope body having a first end and a second end;
- a first handle unit and a second handle unit, each of said first and second handle units comprising a head that freely rotates about a handle axis formed by a centerline of the handle unit, wherein the first end of the rope body is secured within a first fastener rotatably disposed within the head of the first handle unit and the second end of the rope body is secured within a second fastener rotatably disposed within the head of the second handle unit, wherein each fastener freely rotates within each head about a rope axis that is substantially perpendicular to the handle axis and formed by a centerline of the rope body.
A method of using a jump rope assembly, comprising the steps of:
- engaging a jump rope assembly having a rope body having a first end and a second end via a first handle unit and a second handle unit wherein the first end of the rope body is secured within a first fastener rotatably disposed within a head of the first handle unit and the second end of the rope body is secured within a second fastener rotatably disposed within a head of the second handle unit, wherein each fastener freely rotates within each head of each handle unit about an axis formed by a centerline of the rope body, which is perpendicular to a handle axis formed by a centerline of the handle unit, and further where the head of each handle unit freely rotates about the respective handle axis.
A kit comprising:
- an assembled jump rope having a rope body with a first end and a second end, and a first handle unit and a second handle unit wherein the first end of the rope body is secured within a first fastener rotatably disposed within a head of the first handle unit and the second end of the rope body is secured within a second fastener rotatably disposed within a head of the second handle unit, wherein each fastener freely rotates within each head of each handle unit about an axis formed by a centerline of the rope body, which is perpendicular to a handle axis formed by a centerline of the handle unit, and further where the head of each handle unit freely rotates about the respective handle;
- and
- a packaging.
A kit comprising one or more of at least two or more of the following:
- handle assemblies;
- fasteners;
- set screws;
- heads;
- bushings;
- C-clips,
- caps;
- and U-joints,
- wherein the kit components are configurable to repair a jump rope assembly having a rope body with a first end and a second end, and a first handle unit and a second handle unit wherein the first end of the rope body is secured within a first fastener rotatably disposed within a head of the first handle unit and the second end of the rope body is secured within a second fastener rotatably disposed within a head of the second handle unit, wherein each fastener freely rotates within the head of each handle unit about an axis formed by a centerline of the rope body, which is perpendicular to a handle axis formed by a centerline of the handle unit, and further where the head of each handle unit freely rotates about the respective handle axis.
