Abstract: A self-supporting bag configured to carry attire, equipment, food, beverage, and the like includes a first pair of upstanding mesh side panels joined together at respective side edges to form a shaped compartment body defining an inner body cavity having an opening at an upper end thereof, and an insulated compartment affixed to lower edges of the joined first pair of mesh side panels, a top outer surface of the thermal compartment forming a bottom panel of the bag. The compartment includes a re-closeable opening accessible from the exterior of the bag. The bag further includes a second plurality of mesh panels attached between the compartment and outer surfaces of the first pair of upstanding mesh side panels as a plurality of end pockets and side pockets around the periphery of the bag, the end pockets rendering the bag self supporting in the absence of rigid framing.

Abstract: A bottle cap dispenser for administering doses of soluble consumables in conjunction with a water bottle. The bottle cap dispenser includes a bottle dispensing cap and a cartridge chamber removably attached to one other. The bottle dispensing cap provides a means for attaching the bottle cap dispenser to a water bottle, while the cartridge chamber provides a receptacle for retaining the soluble consumables. The cartridge chamber is attached below the bottle dispensing cap and has a plurality of perforations, which allows water to enter the cartridge chamber and dissolve the soluble consumables. The water is then dispensed through a spout of the bottle dispensing cap. A filter assembly may also be attached to the cartridge chamber opposite the bottle dispensing cap. A filter casing is attached to the cartridge chamber, while a filter material positioned within the filter casing removes impurities and contaminants from the water.

Abstract: An active game controller includes a plurality of load sensors for detecting a load applied on an exercise support apparatus having a seat support area attached thereto a lumbar support portion that supports the lumbar region of a person's body on which a player performs abdominal sit-ups, push-ups, poses or stretches upon. The active game controller wirelessly transmits a load value detected as manipulation data by the load sensors to a game machine or smart device. The game machine or smart device determines a necessary quantity of load values, and the game machine or smart device computes the necessary quantity of load values based on the detected load value from the active game controller. Subsequently, game processing is performed based on the necessary quantity of computed load values received from both the seat support area and lumbar support portion.

Abstract: A game controller includes a plurality of load sensors for detecting a load applied on an exercise support board having at least one stepping exercise platform and attached thereto a sliding platform having concave sides on which player's legs are ridden The game controller transmits a load value detected as manipulation data by the load sensors to a game machine. The game machine determines a necessary quantity of load values, and the game machine computes the necessary quantity of load values based on the detected load value from the game controller. Subsequently, game processing is performed based on the necessary quantity of computed load values on either the stepping exercise portion or the sliding exercise portion.

Abstract: An abdominal exercise device has an elongated body with a first seating end having a tailbone pad mounted thereon, adjacent a raised second lumbar support end. The lumbar support end has a multi-curved upper surface, including a concave portion between raised side rails that conforms to the lumbar region of a person's body to allow the person to achieve a better, more comfortable workout, with accelerated and improved results.

Abstract: An aerobic exercise platform including a bench step portion and a slick slider surface attached to the step portion for stepping and sliding exercises whereby a user may exercise with the step portion only, slide portion only and/or combine the two. The exercise platform may include several levels of bench steps with the slide portion connected adjacent the uppermost level.

Abstract: A glove and auxiliary grip including a protuberance on a grip strap to provide a bearing surface against a cylindrical object which exerts a force on a user. The glove includes universally adjustable separable fasteners to position the glove on a hand of the user and an adjustable wrist strap to provide a secure connection between auxiliary grip and the stronger arm muscles of the user.
