EXERCISE HANDGRIP APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002041950
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An integrated hand exercise device (12) with a hand-held container or a hand-carried object such as a briefcase (10), handbag, umbrella or a walker-cane is provided. The integrated handgrip exercise device generally includes a handgrip exerciser (20) combined with a handle (15) of the hand-held container or hand-carried object. Such combination of the handgrip exerciser with the handle permits the hand exercise device to be operated as the briefcase, handbag or umbrella is being used by a user. The handgrip exerciser generally includes one or more springs (26) and a handlebar (46) for interposing a desired resistance or compressible tension between the handle and the handlebar for exercising hands, wrists and arms. Alternatively, a squeezable resilient member may provide a desired resistance or compressible tension. The integrated hand exercise device may be detachable from the hand-held container or hand-carried object, and the resistance or compressible tension may be user-selectable.
