Abstract: An exercise device (100) is supportable by a swivel mount (116) attached to a karabiner (114) and the swivel mount is arranged to lock under load at 90° increments. The device includes a rotatable reel (103) arranged to have a pair of inelastic straps (113a, 113b) rotationally wound thereabout from opposite directions. The reel is rotatable in conjunction with a locking mechanism consisting of a toothed sprocket wheel (104) secured to the reel and a manually operable slideable shaft (106) that is located within a barrel (107). Slots (136, 139) in the shaft and barrel, respectively, permit rotational movement of the sprocket wheel and, hence, reel (103) so that the straps (113a, 113b) may have their length altered against the bias of a coil spring unit (111). Translational movement of the shaft (106) within the barrel (107) causes the full diameter of the shaft (106) to engage between adjacent teeth of the sprocket wheel to lock the reel (103), thereby preventing further adjustment of the straps (113a, 113b).

Abstract: An exercise device has a pair of axially spaced reels 102a, 102b, which are each biased by a spiral spring 108. Each reel is attached to one end of a respective strap 130a, 130b and an outer end of each strap is attached to a carabiner 134a, 34b. Each reel is selectably releaseable by a locking arrangement 112a, 112b, 16, 117, that is able to interfere with rotation of the reels 102a, 102b, in dependence upon action by a user. Each reel is independently rotatable and each strap 130a, 130b may be extended or retracted independently of one another. Using the carabiners 134a, 134b, each strap may be secured to an attachment 10 beam so that the straps form a V-configuration and it is envisaged that two such exercise devices may be used so that a user may perform exercises such as push-ups, triceps dips, back pulls and pull-ups.
