  • Patent number: 5431617
    Abstract: An exercise device having a single central element anchored to a fixed structure with a plurality of elastic cables extending from an equal number of "S" type hooks to an elongated handle member. The elastic cables are attached at their ends opposite to the "S" hook attachment to the elongated handle which is covered with a foam type gripping material. The elastic cables attached to the elongated handle member are spaced apart so that the fingers of a human hand grasping the handle will pass between adjacent elastic cables. The elongated handle member is bent formed in a direction away from the handle attachment of the elastic cables at each end thereof with the central elastic cable attachment portion being slightly curved in a concave fashion in a direction facing the elastic cable attachment. Selected ones of the elastic cables can be removed or added at discrete locations along the concave portion of the elongated handle to vary the stress or pull required for particular body part being exercised.
