Abstract: This disclosure addresses an exercise device adapted to enable the user to perform a salmon ladder exercise. The ladder includes a frame with at least one pair of support protrusions that receive an exercise bar. A bearing surface that receives the shaft of a catch array rotatably mounted in the frame. The device further includes a braking mechanism that applies a variable suppression force to the catch array shaft, the variable suppression adjusting the force required to rotate the catch array shaft in the bearing surface.

Abstract: An exercise device in the form of a glide handle typically includes an elongated handle body, a strap or other suitable connecting member attaching the handle to a swivel, and a pulley assembly attached to the swivel. The pulley engages a cord which is attached to fixed objects or loads, and a user employs the handle to displace the cord. The combination of the swivel with the pulley allows the handle to be moved relative to the cord in a smooth continuous motion and in a plurality of directions. The glide handle may be used to strengthen and stretch a muscle, joint, or connective tissue, and to improve range of motion for joints. The device may be incorporated into fitness and physical therapy programs.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to portable storage boxes, also called job boxes, that may be adapted for use on construction sites. Existing boxes are typically too large and heavy to move by just one person without additional equipment. Existing storage boxes are difficult to maneuver in tight spaces. This invention allows a job box to be broken down into three sub-assemblies of roughly equal size. The individual sub-assemblies are easier to carry since they are compact and can be held close to the body when the user is in a standing position. The individual sub-assemblies stack well against each other allowing the storage box to be stored and transported in a more space efficient way than present art unitary assembly storage boxes.

Abstract: Handles for use in exercise apparatus and in lifting apparatus are provided.

Abstract: Handles for use in exercise apparatus and in lifting apparatus are provided. The handles have an elongated handle body with a top head, a bottom head, and a central bore extending along a longitudinal axis. A top pulley is coupled to the top head and is rotatable around a top axis that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. A bottom pulley is coupled to the bottom head and is rotatable around a bottom axis that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. At least one secondary pulley is associated with at least one of the top pulley and the bottom pulley. A cord is disposed on a circumferential surface of the top pulley, the cord passing through the central bore and being disposed on a circumferential surface of the bottom pulley, so that when the handle body is moved, the top and bottom pulleys rotate to allow the cord to travel smoothly through the central bore.

Abstract: Subject invention is a cable lock designed such that it may be adjusted by the user to be locked tightly around an object such as a surfboard. A sleeve fitting is swaged to a length of cable such that a loop is formed at the end of cable. This loop is used to secure the cable to a rack or other stationary component. A block is used to retain the cable around the object itself. The cable passes through a hole in one end of the block, wraps around the object, and slides into a slot in the other end of the block. An end fitting swaged to the cable prevents the cable from sliding out of the slot in a parallel direction. A padlock is used to prevent the cable from sliding out of the slot in a perpendicular direction. A setscrew is used to retain the block to the cable in the desired location.
