Abstract: A clamp, such as a resilient clamp, is characterized by a pair of elongated members each having a force applying end and an opposed working end. The members are resiliently interconnected by a plurality of substantially arcuately-shaped bands in a region of the members intermediate the working ends and the force applying ends, defining a bight facing the working ends.

Abstract: A video game controller for use with an exercise apparatus. The controller includes a gross motion sensor which is activated by the palm of the user's hand when the user's wrist is rotated. In this way, a "steering" input can be sensed by the controller and forwarded to the video game. The controller further includes a pair of "action" switches which may be conveniently activated by the user's fingers. The controller may be formed as an integral part of the exercise apparatus handle or as a separate member designed for convenient attachment to the handle in a retrofit application.

Abstract: The pliers include an endless loop, a top jaw appended to the endless loop, and a bottom jaw appended to the endless loop. The endless loop includes in series a top grip handle, a spring segment, a bottom grip handle and a compliant strip interconnecting the top and bottom grip handles. A rolling surface on the top grip handle rolls on a contact portion of the bottom grip handle. The rolling action causes the compliant strip to flex which causes the top and bottom jaws to move toward one another. The endless loop provides a built-in automatic spring and enhances lateral stability.
