Patent number: 10974097Abstract: A pronation supination wrist deviator exercise device includes a handle having a proximal portion and a distal portion; a shaft defining a longitudinal axis extending from a proximal end to a distal end; and a head portion having a predetermined weight. The head portion or the handle are mounted for relative movement on the shaft between a first position and a second position. The head portion and the handle define a first distance. The predetermined weight of the head portion represents a first weight. The first weight multiplied by the first distance represents a first effective torque of the device. When the distance between the head portion and the distal portion of the handle is changed to at least a second distance, the first weight multiplied by the second distance represents at least a second effective torque of the device.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: COGNATUS INNOVATIONS LLCInventors: Robert Silagy, Dennis Waldman

Patent number: 9114280Abstract: A finger exerciser includes a housing, a tubular shaft, a finger pad and a coil spring. The housing defines an opening. The tubular shaft has a lower portion and an upper portion. The lower portion is movable through the opening of the housing and relative to the housing. The finger pad is supported on the upper portion of the tubular shaft. The finger pad has first and second curved sides and defines a indent between the curved sides. The indent is configured to receive a finger tip. The first curved side has a height greater than the second curved side. The coil spring is disposed in operative association with the tubular shaft and configured to urge the shaft in an upward direction.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2015Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: Cognatus Innovations LLCInventors: Robert Silagy, Dennis Waldman

Patent number: 9072939Abstract: A hand and finger exerciser having a frame, and a slide configured to move vertically with respect to the frame. In an example embodiment, the frame includes an upper cross-member, a pair of vertical supports extending downward from the upper cross-member, and a base fixed to a lower portion of the vertical supports. The slide includes an upper cross-member having a pair of guides extending downward from the upper cross-member. The guides are configured to slidably engage the vertical supports of the frame to enable the slide to move vertically with respect to the frame. An axle extends between the lower portions of the vertical supports and includes a plurality of finger rollers rotatable about the axle. Each of the plurality of finger rollers are free to move horizontally along at least a portion of the axle.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2013Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: COGNATUS INNOVATIONS LLCInventors: Robert Silagy, Dennis Waldman

Patent number: 9005084Abstract: An improved finger exerciser to exercise each finger individually by depressing directly against the resistance of a spring. Embodiments are described wherein the device includes an electronic controller in operative communication with individual finger exercise elements to sense exercise parameters and provide tactile feedback to a user. In embodiments, the disclosed finger exerciser is configured to communicate sensed measurements to an integrated controller and/or a mobile device, such as a distance each finger is pressed, speed, response time, repetition count, and so forth. In embodiments, the exerciser is configured to provide tactile feedback, such as vibration, to a user via the finger pads. The finger exerciser may receive communications from an integrated controller and/or mobile device to activate a tactile stimulator.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2013Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Cognatus Innovations LLCInventors: Robert Silagy, Dennis Waldman
