A training device for facilitating an orientation of a performer's hands prior to a performing of a task and includes a pair of bracelets adapted to be worn on the left and right wrists of the performer. Each bracelet includes an annular band and a plurality of tubular rollers rotatable about an axis of the respective annular band to facilitate a movement of the bracelets over the performer's hands while moving onto and off from the performer's wrists. The two bracelets also include a tethering ...

The present invention relates to a training apparatus which make a convenient assembly be carried out from one direction and respective parts be placed on both supporting plates as a unit, wherein a pair of supporting plates 13, 14 fixed to the main body frame 2 are provided, only one 13 of the supporting plates is formed so as to pass through the space defined by said main body frame 2 and saddle post 5, and the crank shaft 17 and the shaft of the loading device are supported by at least one of...

A training firearm that provides a realistic recoil effect. The firearm, preferably a pistol, may be an actual firearm retrofitted with a self-contained "blow back" assembly. Usually, the pistol will include a laser device that emits a laser beam readable by a target system. The laser replaces live rounds, and the blow back assembly causes return of the slide to cycle in a manner similar to that caused by live ammunition in an unmodified weapon. The blow back assembly is driven by a disposable c...

Horse riding reins to facilitate the manipulation of a horse by a rider. The reins can be employed in training a rider or a horse, or simply to facilitate the maneuvering of a horse by a rider. The reins provide readily perceptible and identifiable indicia at corresponding locations from the bit so that a rider is able to properly position his hands on the reins to manipulate the horse in the desired manner. The readily perceptible and identifiable indicia can be utilized by an instructor to imm...

A training device is worn by a user for strengthening and training the legs. A belt extends around the waist of the user. An elastic strap has two forward runs and two rearward runs. Each of the forward runs secures to the belt at an upward end along the front section of the belt. The forward runs extend down to a loop which receives the user's foot. The rearward runs extend from the loop back to apertures located on the back section of the belt.

Device for detecting a pressure force exerted by a human muscle. If a sensor measures that a defined force is exceeded, a signal is emitted. This signal is used to indicate to the relevant person that he needs to modify his behavior. To determine the teaching effect of this signal, it is proposed for these signals to be stored in a memory and for the stored values to read out after a certain time and compared with more recent signals. The device can be used, inter alia, in a writing instrument w...

A training machine 10 is for training the muscles of an upper body of a training person M sitting on a seat unit 50 provided in a machine main body, and is provided with an arm unit 60 disposed in the vicinity of the left and right sides of the seat unit 50, having a specified length and capable of making rotational movements against a specified load. The arm unit 60 has the bottom end thereof rotatably supported about shaft tubes 62 extending in horizontal transverse direction and has such a cu...

This toothbrush would operate normally only when the user brushes in a correct manner. It has a brush member slidably mounted to a handle. A latching arrangement is provided between the brush and the handle such that when the toothbrush is operated incorrectly in the direction along its longitudinal axis, the toothbrush would either slide freely in and out or completely detach from the handle rendering it inoperable. When brushing with the correct motion in the up and down direction perpendicula...

A training apparatus for establishing the network definition function of a trainable processing apparatus, such as, for example, a neural network, is disclosed. The training apparatus analyzes a signal and includes means for providing a training sequence, the training sequence including a first signal and a distorted version of the first signal. The training sequence is transmitted to an analysis means which generates a distortion perception measure that indicates the extent to which the distort...

A training device for strengthening the back muscles provides a stepped berth for the trainee. Cables are coupled to weights and guided by first diverting rollers which are horizontally adjustable beneath the berth and second diverting rollers at the head end of the berth. Handles are provided at the free end of the cables. The trainee may pull the cables either from the first diverting rollers or from the second diverting rollers at increased tension.
