  • Adjustable tension device for use with a resistance band exercise apparatus
    Patent number: 10821314
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel apparatus for adjusting the length of a resistance band portion of an exercise apparatus without disconnecting the band from the apparatus, such as an exercise apparatus having a resistance band slidingly coupled between a parachute-like safety device and a user handle.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 3, 2017
    Date of Patent: November 3, 2020

  • Air-brake safety device for exercise resistance band
    Patent number: 8172735
    Abstract: A parachute-like safety device for use with an exercise resistance band. The parachute-like device can attach to the ends of the band to act as handles, and furthermore, such a device can be used at the center portion of a typical exercise resistance band. The benefit of either use, is that in the event of the accidental release (snap back) of any part of the device, the parachute-like device will “catch-air” and function as an air-brake as it is forced to rapidly move through the air, so as to slow down movement of the resistance band and therefore diminish or prevent injury caused by the snap-back effect.
