  • Patent number: 10780313
    Abstract: An exercise stick, including a main pole, and a tensioning assembly disposed at a substantially center portion of the main pole to move up the main pole in a first direction toward a first end of the main pole, and to move down the main pole in a second direction toward a second end of the main pole, the tensioning assembly including a large gear disposed on the tensioning assembly to change a resistance between the tensioning assembly and the main pole in response to a rotation of the large gear, and a plurality of tension clamps connected to opposing sides of the large gear to expand and contract in response to the rotation of the large gear. The tensioning assembly may further include a first worm gear to contact one of the plurality of tension clamps, and a second worm gear to contact another one of the plurality of tension clamps, such that the rotation of the large gear causes the first worm gear and the second worm gear to turn to expand or contract the plurality of tension clamps.

  • Patent number: 8192296
    Abstract: A gripping system, apparatus, and methods for users with weakened hand strength, or able-bodied users desiring a better grip, involving a mating glove and a grip, handle, or graspable surface of an object. The mating glove covers a person's hand and interfaces and mates with the grip, handle, or graspable surface. The mating glove has a palm side, a dorsal side, and finger compartments. The mating glove includes hook-and-loop fastener material for mating with complementary hook-and-loop fastener material integrated into the grip, handle, or graspable surface. The grip, handle, or graspable surface further includes recesses integrated within the grip or handle for accommodating the hook-and-loop fastener material. The invention also involves a retrofit tape kit for facilitating gripping of any graspable surface.
