The pendulum arm extends towards the proximal end of the hip thrust sled at an upward angle. An adjustable stop may limit the vertical movement of the pendulum arm. A handlebar may be attached to the proximal end of the pendulum arm.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2011Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Marty Gilman, Inc.Inventor: Neil F. Gilman

Patent number: 8298124Abstract: A head-shaped target for a training stand is provided. The head-shaped target includes (a) a striking target body shaped to approximate a human head and operative to receive strikes, the striking target body having a padded surface; (b) an attachment member configured to releasably couple the head-shaped target to a support shaft of the training stand; and/or (c) an angled extension attachment coupling the striking target body to the attachment member, the angled extension attachment having a resilient spring positioned at an angle relative to the support shaft and the striking target body to enable the angled extension attachment to provide a resiliently deformable engagement between the striking target body and the support shaft.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2011Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: Hico Inc.Inventors: Patricia Brenner, Greg Snyder

Publication number: 20120149534Abstract: The present invention relates to a fighting trainer with a hinderer amplitude of oscillation and resilience, comprising a main body, a connecting element, a resilience adjustment set, and a base. By adjusting the distance between the tubes of the resilience adjustment set and the elasticity, the present invention is able to meet various requirements, as well as minimizing the amplitude of oscillation in order to reduce the required space to exercise.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2010Publication date: June 14, 2012Inventors: DICKSON FU, DAVID FU

Publication number: 20120135843Abstract: A punching bag base and punching bag assembly. The base provides multiple areas to store exercise accessories such as weighted dumbbells and weighted ankle weights. In one form, the areas formed in the base to receive weights or related exercise equipment form a shape that is complementary to that of the equipment stored in it. In another form, the base can be of a generally hollow construction to accept ballast to provide additional stability of the base when it is placed on a floor or related support structure. The system may also include an integrated hook placed on the pole that allows the user the ability to hang boxing gloves, towels or other exercise equipment. The system may also include a wheel assembly to facilitate ease of movement.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2010Publication date: May 31, 2012Applicant: TREND RIGHT RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT CORPORATIONInventors: Robert Goldy, Edwin Chan

Patent number: 8118713Abstract: A respiratory muscle endurance training device (RMET) includes a chamber and a patient interface. In one implementation, one or both of a CO2 sensor or a temperature sensor can be coupled to the chamber or patient interface to provide the user or caregiver with indicia about the CO2 level in, or the temperature of, the chamber or patient interface, and/or the duration of use of the device. In another implementation, the RMET may have a fixed volume portion adjustable to contain a measured portion of a specific patient's inspiratory volume capacity. Methods of using the device are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2009Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: Trudell Medical InternationalInventors: Martin P. Foley, Jerry R. Grychowski
