An exercising device includes a first strap (1), loops (3, 7) attached to the first strap (1) and an anchorage element (11) that is intended to be fixed to a base, the anchorage element (11) being designed to receive the first strap (1) in such a way that the first strap (1) is displaceable in its longitudinal direction relative to the anchorage element (11). It is significant that at least one loop (3, 7) has such a length/circumference that it may be mounted around the body, e.g. the waist of ...

An exercising device has a belt adapted to be worn by a user, and an elastic element fixable by the belt to a user's body and having two ends graspable by a user for expanding the elastic element and exercising.

An exercising apparatus includes a base, two supporting brackets, a driving assembly, a pedal assembly and a case. The supporting brackets are mounted on the base. The driving assembly includes a motor, an eccentric wheel and a lifting bracket. The motor has a motor shaft. The eccentric wheel is mounted eccentrically on the motor shaft. The lifting bracket has a wheel slot and two pivoting brackets. The wheel slot is defined through the lifting bracket and engages the eccentric wheel. The pivoti...

The present invention comprises a pair of gripping handles between which a planar elastic band is supported. The coupling between each handle and the elastic band prevents inadvertent disengagement of the handle from the end of the elastic band and provides means for adjusting the distance between the handles and the force exerted. The end of the elastic band is directly supported by the end flange of the handle. A suspension clip having a bracing member extending parallel to the end flange is a...

An exercising device includes a hand operated member pivoted to a frame and connected to a first coupler, a lever member pivoted to the frame and connected to the hand operated member by a linking bar, and a second coupler member with a front coupling end connected to the lever member and a rear coupling end in friction contact with a motion guiding member which is journalled on first and second crank members. As such, the second coupling member proceeds with a reciprocating movement in a substa...

A weight-lifting or exercising device wherein the spacing of the weights along the length of the bar and the masses of the individual weights may be selectively varied to accommodate people of different sizes and capabilities. Each of the weights is substantially hollow and includes a generally ovoid or egg-shaped shell. Each shell has a first axis, a central aperture transverse to the first axis, and a tubular member aligned with the axis and extending across the aperture. A channel opens at on...

An exercising apparatus having rotatable foot pedals and hand graspable crank arms in a frame which is provided with a seat upon which an individual can be supported while grasping the crank arms and while having the feet on the foot pedals of the apparatus. A motor is provided for driving the foot pedals and crank arms in rotation, and is so connected thereto that the individual crank arms and individual foot pedals can rotate at respective speeds and, furthermore, so that the crank arm and foo...

An exercising apparatus designed to fit around a seat is provided. The exercising apparatus includes a frame that is adapted to be secured to the support. The frame is a U-shaped configuration with a lateral open area to receive the seat into the frame. One or more arms are coupled to the frame about one or more pivots. Further, the pivots allow a pivotal motion of each of the arms when a force is exerted thereto by a user. One or more first resistance devices coupled to the frame and the arms, ...

The exercising device has a housing which is attached to a stationary surface. A cord which has a hand grip on its free end can be pulled out of the housing against the adjustable internal resistance of the exercising device. The amount of internal resistance can be varied by means of a control knob. A spring-powered cord retractor reel rewinds the cord back into the housing when the cord is released. The internal resistance is quantitatively adjusted by a friction brake mechanism including a fi...

A portable exercising apparatus for a supine user has an open ended inwardly tapered member with a block member inside, the position of which is adjustable. The block member has a channel which provides a passage for a pair of ropes frictionably engageable between the tapered and block members which frictional engagement is variable because the position of the block member is adjustable. The ends of the ropes emerging from one end of the channel, out of the tapered member, each have a hand grip,...
