Abstract: A storable exercise apparatus for home use. The apparatus includes an upright tower, a base structure, a bench frame, and a bench attached to the bench frame. A set of flexible pull lines coupled to a resilient spring system are carried within the tower structure. The user exercises by pulling the pull lines against the bias of the spring system. The grips for the pull lines are mounted at the top of the tower and generate significant tipping force on the tower when the apparatus is in use. To prevent tipping, the bench frame has pivotal and load-transmitting connections with the tower structure; the tower is stabilized by the weight of the user on the bench. The bench may be placed in either a raised or lowered position, and can be stored by collapsing and pivoting it so that it abuts the tower vertically.

Abstract: An exercise apparatus with two legs attached to opposite lateral sides of a front part of a base so as to be swingable away from and toward the base in a horizontal plane, the legs being adjustable relative to the base, is provided. A head member is mounted on an upper end of a telescoping shaft of a support column pivotally mounted to the front part of the base and a pair of arms is mounted on opposite sides of the head member so as to be pivotable about a horizontal axis, and about an axis perpendicular to the horizontal axis, and securable at various positions so as to change an angle defined by the arms. A separate exercise unit is mounted to a free end of each arm so that the exercise unit can be rotated about a longitudinal axis of the arm and secured in desired positions.

Abstract: A sole assembly for footwear supporting a foot over a ground surface. The sole assembly includes a sole made of insulating material. The sole has a top surface configured to support the foot, and a bottom surface opposite the top surface configured to contact the ground surface. At least one contact extends between the top and bottom surfaces and is generally surrounded by the sole. The at least one contact has a conducting material that is configured to allow a flow of electrical current between the foot adjacent the top surface and the ground surface adjacent the bottom surface.

Abstract: An exercise apparatus including two parallel, longitudinally extending hand rails, a longitudinally extending base unit, legs that connect the hand rails to the base unit, the base unit including a rail assembly and a rail support frame, and four roller pads mounted on the rail assembly so as to be individually movable along the rails.

Abstract: An exercise apparatus having a base made up of a front part and a rear, seat part that are connected together. Two legs are attached to opposite lateral sides of the front part of the base so as to be swingable away from and toward the base in a horizontal plane. A first mechanism adjust a position of the legs relative to the base. A support column is pivotally mounted to the front part of the base for being selectively pivotable into a upwardly directed position and a substantially horizontal position. The support column has a sleeve member that is mounted to the front part of the base and a shaft arranged in the sleeve so as to be movable into and out of the sleeve in a telescoping manner. A second mechanism adjusts a position of the shaft in the sleeve member.

Abstract: The invention provides an improvement to existing toilet tank flappers, designed to conserve water. The system includes a nested compound actuator handle attached by independent arms to a compound rubber flapper system. The minor handle component actuates a smaller concentric flapper that, though initial set-up, allows for minimal water flow with the intent of only utilizing enough water to facilitate and complete bowl water exchange. The major handle component actuates the entire flapper mechanism allowing, though initial set-up, a measured amount of tank volume to facilitate the removal of waste from the bowl. The system, by design, allows the user to initiate either operation without in a single motion and without the need to provide any additional input to complete the flush cycle.
