Abstract

rotating and tension bar exerciser in which it's movements are controlled by a 360 degree rotating bearing section which connects rotating balls and spindles to each handle of the bar. Using the rotation of the exerciser will causes the body to rotate in ways which otherwise could not be obtained.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to a light weight exercising apparatus capable of providing a fun and safe method of total body workout and strength training for all ages by way of rotation, twisting, tension and squeezing.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

There are many exercising apparatuses and exercising programs on the market that provide the practitioners with many ways to lose weight, get lean, strength train and workout for good health. Most exercising equiptment targets only two or three areas of the body leaving other areas unworked. Many are too heavy and bothersome while others provide fast moving high tech dancing which most older and younger people cannot do with out some possible long term injury.
The Crunch Ball Rotator tension Bar Exerciser satisfies all the requirements of an all around total body workout for all ages. It allows any age group from kids to the elderly to actively engage in a workout or total body workout to target all areas of choice for safe, fun and enjoyable exercising.
The Crunch Ball Rotator Tension Bar Exerciser provide strength training and endurance for all sports and sport enthusiasts and exercisers. It provides fast and slow speed exercises to accommodate aerobic exercisers as well as pace training for young and old, schools and gyms. The attached rubber ball makes this apparatus safe and comfortable for therapeutic training.
The Crunch Ball Rotator Tension Bar Exerciser is different than any exerciser on the market because of it's design and method of use. It is a light weight two major section tube, called a bar, with rubber balls centered on spindles attached to two square handles on each end. The rubber balls on each handle rotate. The rubber ball is for softness to the hand. That is, for gripping, handling and exercising and/or developing hand and arm strength. The two major sections are attached together by two housing with four bearing encased. The bearing mechanism causes each handle to rotate in different directions. The apparatus also has a housing section containing a plunger and spring for tension.
The Most important part of this invention is the rotating rubber ball and the bearing housing mechanism developed. Both rotating together causes the hands, arms, shoulders, waist, stomach, neck, shoulders, back, thighs, legs, and feet to experience a smooth and partial rotation and movements. All parts of the body are twisted and rotated together, back and forth and smoothly because of the bearing housing mechanism and the rotating rubber balls fixed on a rotating spindle connected to the handle. When the two handles containing the rubber balls are pressed together, it causes the plunger to depress a spring within the housing tube. This creates tension upon the arms and body when held in tightly while rotating the bar in different directions and angles. This tension builds mucles, strength and endurance.
The Crunch Ball Rotator tension Bar Exerciser is light weight and easily stored. It's the right length to be carried any where and used indoors and out doors.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The Crunch Ball Rotator Tension Bar Exerciser is an invention that comprises all of the techniques and methods needed to gain a total body work out. it's unique and different from other exercising equiptments or apparatuses because of it's design, look, rubber balls, square handles, spring tension and bearing housing mechanism. Total rotation of different parts of the body from this invention gives the entire body a total workout at the same time. Not just two or three areas. It is light weight, portable, and great for any interest and all age group young or old.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

This invention has two major sections joined together by two coupling housing enclosing four bearing causing both to rotate opposite of each other. One section contains a plunger and tube which house a pressure spring for tension. On each end of the bar is square handles containing a rubber ball fixed on a spindle which rotates within handle tube. Both rubber balls, spindles and bearing mechanism causes the apparatus to rotate and twist in all drections and angles.

Claims

1. A two part rotating exercising and tension bar joined together by two bearing coupling units able to cause two end handles to rotate 360 degrees in any direction. Attached to one end of the bearing section is a short tube connecting a handle with rotating rubber ball and spindle attached. The other end of coupler has an attached longer plunger tube which depresses a tension spring located within a housing tube that connects a handle with rotating ball and spindle.

2. The invention as recited in claim 1 wherein a two coupler bearing section rotating 360 degrees in any direction connects a short tube and one being a long tube called a plunger which depresses a tension spring down into a tube housing causing two handles to rotate.

3. The invention as recited in claim 1 wherein there are two rotating handles with rotating rubber balls and spindles attached to handles at each end of exercising bar.
