Abstract: A vibration apparatus and an associated motor assembly attached to a glove or wrap for a body part to stimulate muscle activity in the area of application. The apparatus is capable of generating vibrations of various amplitudes at the same frequency or within a defined frequency range. The device causes vibration in a limb to which it is attached, such that muscle that are not normally utilized in a single range of motion activity are activated. The mechanism creating the vibration may an eccentric rotating mass vibration motor assembly attached to a glove or wrist support. Use of the device with fitness equipment provides an individual with the benefits associated with vibrational motion such as increased muscle use with a single exercise motion and increased muscle memory during use with sports activities.

Abstract: A bowler's dual position wrist and finger control device is disclosed. The device comprises a hand plate and a forearm plate pivotally linked by a double position hinge mechanism. The double position hinge mechanism angularly disposes the hand plate and forearm plate to each other and limits any backward angular movement beyond this limit, thereby restricting the backward movement of a bowler's hand during delivery of a bowling ball. The double position hinge mechanism allows the user to pre-select two such angles of disposition and limitation in the same plane, and to chose between them by positioning a release lever up or down. The invention further discloses the use of finger supports secured to the hand plate to provide additional support for the bowler. In the preferred embodiment the finger supports are laterally pivotable about the hand plate to enable the user to adjust the supports to a comfortable position.

The prop of the back of the arm and the prop of the back of the hand is engaged with each other by a center pin. The bending angles of the prop of the back of the arm and the prop of the back of the hand are controlled by the center pin. The bending angle between the prop of the back of the arm and the center pin can be freely changed.

Abstract: A bowling apparatus including a first support adapted to cover at least a portion of at least one finger of a bowler; a second support adapted to cover at least a wrist of a hand of a bowler; and an adjustable support comprising one end connected to the first support and another end pivotally connected to the second support.

Abstract: A golf training device for eliminating palm reflection of the trailing hand during a golf swing including a support member positionable on the dorsal side of the wrist and forearm of the wearer and secured there with one strap encircling the wrist and a second strap encircling the forearm. A bracket is attached to the support which includes an A-frame extending away from the dorsal side of the wrist and forearm. An adjustable cord is provided which attaches to the A-frame and includes a loop for encircling at least one finger of the trailing hand of the wearer. The length of the cord is adjusted such that the trailing hand of the wearer can move his or her hand from dorsal flexion to extension. However, further movement from extension into palmer flexion is resisted. By transverse resistance through the club to the lead hand, the wrist of the lead arm is signaled not to move into dorsal flexion or collapse.

Abstract: A wrist restrainer includes a wrist band and a resilient, one piece restraining plate with one end tightly connected thereto and the other end extending along the back of a wearer's hand to prevent outward pivotal movement of the hand at the wrist while permitting lateral movement. The restraining plate can be bent inwardly to press against the back of the hand. A wrist restraining glove including a hand receiving portion, with or without fingers, and a wrist band, has a resilient restraining plate extending from the knuckle end through the wrist band. The restraining plate is either entirely integrally joined to the glove or integrally joined only to the wrist band and loosely received in a pocket on the back of the glove.

Abstract: It's a movable bowling wrist device that is secured to the back of the hand and forearm by means of straps and it consists of four main structural parts made of stainless steel. The hand portion with all its finger extensions and forearm portion are connected together by a wing type structure with an attachment of an adjustable stopping mechanism on top. The hand portion with all its finger extensions is indefinitely moving vertically perpendicular to the wing part from which it is connected can be indefinitely adjusted from left to right or vice versa on a horizontal plane on which it is attach to the forearm portion can be place in a locking position by a swiveling lock. The adjustable stopping mechanism stops the hand portion with all its finger extensions on a backward movement thus producing an angle perpendicular to the forearm portion.

Abstract: A new and improved bowling wrist and hand support device having a securement means theresecured for securement around a user's wrist and hand. The support has an appendage aperture formed therethrough. The appendage aperture serves to receive a user's thumb therethrough. A first metal strip is secured within an inner portion of the wrist and hand support. The first metal strip functions to prevent the user's wrist from bending forward. A second metal strip is secured within an inner portion of the wrist and hand support. The second metal strip functions to prevent the user's wrist from bending backwards.

Abstract: An athletic support device in the nature of a brace for use in bowling, having a casing that extends along a portion of the hand and/or wrist, means for coupling the casing to the hand, at least one inflatable bladder associated with the casing located at the position or positions where support is desired, and means for providing gas to the inflatable bladder so that the bladder may be inflated to provide support to the hand and/or wrist, as desired. The device includes means for deflating the bladder or bladders, so that the level of support provided may be adjusted to a desired level. The bladders may be incorporated into conventional support device designs, such as gloves, braces, and wraps. Preferably, bladders are associated with the casing at one or more of the following areas: palm area, wrist area, or finger area. In this way, the device may be tailored to the bowler's hand or to provide an optimal position of the hand and/or wrist for a desired delivery of the ball.

Further provided is a means for operatively connecting a stay proximate the base member. A loop member 17 is operatively connected to the base member 11 and mating member 13 is also operatively connected to the base member 11 at an end opposite the loop member. The mating member has a connecting element 13a operatively connected to a tab element 13b. The tab element 13b is wider than the length of the loop member 17 and has to be deformed to pass through the slot to the opening 17a and the loop member 17.

Abstract: A sports glove for a bowler includes a glove body having partial digit sleeves for the third and fourth digits and a flexible cover attached directly to each of the digit sleeves for the third and fourth digits so as to create an enclosed pouch. Each pouch includes a cushioning pad disposed therein. The sports glove is modified so as to receive on a selective or optional basis a number of enhancement components which are intended to assist the bowler in the support, release and control of the bowling ball. These enhancements include foam wedges which are attached to the palm side to either increase or decrease the amount of hook on the bowling ball, a spacer strip to control the spacing of the third and fourth digits and a brace which also assists in controlling the amount of hook on the bowling ball. The cushioning pads which are enclosed within the pouches on the third and fourth digits assist in filling the gap between the hand and the bowling ball so as to provide better weight distribution and balance.
