Abstract: A portable strength training and exercise apparatus constitutes an attachment belt to be worn by an individual about the waist. The attachment belt has attachments on center and side portions of the belt for attaching locking strap holders, used for attaching adjustment straps, which in turn, attach to resistance elastic tubes. Hollow balls are attached to ends of the resistance elastic tubes. For an upper extremities exercise, hollow balls are grasped in each hand and are moved by both arms in almost any direction or angle an individual can manage against the resistance of the resistance elastic tubes. For a lower extremities exercise, hollow balls are connected to the individual's feet using foot straps and are moved by both legs in almost any direction or angle an individual can manage against the resistance of the resistance elastic tubes.

Abstract: A portable strength training and exercise apparatus constitutes an attachment belt to be worn by individual about the waist. The attachment belt has attachments thereto at points on center and sides of belt portion, attached to belt is locking strap holder, used for holding down adjustment straps, handy for loosening and adjusting resistance tension of resistance elastic tube while training. On the opposite end of belt is four hollow ball end, used for holding in hand and attaching to foot. For upper extremities a hollow ball end is grasped in each hand fitting comfortably and is circular in shape gives individual flexibility and countless angles to exercise, individual donning apparatus exercises by moving both arms in almost any direction or angle an individual can manage.

Abstract: An automated system for dispensing condiment packets includes a magazine for storing a stack of condiment packets and a dispenser for metering out those condiment packets. Multiple magazines and dispensers can be combined in a single condiment delivery assembly, thereby providing the means for dispensing a variety of condiment flavors. The delivery assembly can be incorporated into a fast food vending machine or can be designed as a standalone unit.

Abstract: An exercise system includes a platform, a set of ankle holders connected to the platform by resistance (e.g., elastic) bands, and a leg support. A user can sit on the platform with her back supported by a back support (or fully reclined with her head/neck supported by a headrest) and with her legs supported by the leg support. After attaching the ankle holders to her ankles, the user can perform leg extensions as part of a cardiovascular and resistance workout. The leg support can be constructed so as to compress during each leg extension, thereby reducing knee strain and minimizing the potential for injury.

Abstract: A tennis serve/stroke training and exercise apparatus. constituting a belt to be worn about the waist. The belt has attached thereto at a point on the belt portion extending across the back one end of an elongated elastic tether. The opposite end of the tether is connected to a handle adapted to be grasped in the hand by the person using the apparatus. The tether is of such length that grasping the handle in the hand while the belt is donned places the handle above one shoulder. For a right-handed person, the handle will be brought into position above the right shoulder, while the tether will extend diagonally across the wearer's back from near the left side thereof. Thus, with the handle in the hand, when the arm is straightened, or swung forwardly as is done when a tennis ball is served, the muscles involved in this motion are tensioned and exercised.

Abstract: A stroke training and exercise device includes a hand-grip portion having the configuration of the handle of a tennis racket, a throat portion similar to a tennis racket, but a much smaller head band within which is secured, either permanently or detachably, a monolithic disk or "head" that selectively incorporates variable weights that cause the device to simulate the weight and balance of various types of tennis rackets.
