  • Exercise device
    Patent number: 4852873
    Abstract: An exercise device produced by a process, including oppositely disposed handle members having outer gripping portions and inner portions to which are attached flange members. An elastromeric middle member is molded at least over the flange members which connects the handle members into a unitary bar-like exercise device. The molding of the middle member encapsulates the flange members to provide a secure and non-releasable junction. The middle member, being deformable and twistable, allows many different types of exercise movements of the handle members. The middle member provides resistance to such deforming and twisting movements and also resiliently returns the handle members to an original position after deformation or twisting of the middle member.The invention can take on many shapes and forms. An alternative embodiment includes an elastomeric middle member which includes arms extending from oppsoite ends of the middle member.
