<p>628,340. Exercising-apparatus. SHIPSTONE, J. W., (trading as PHYSICAL CULTURE DEVELOPMENTS). June 6, 1947, Nos. 14983/47 and 13259/48. [Class 132 (i)] An exercising-apparatus comprises a rigid portable member constructed for engagement by the feet or other part of the body of the user of the apparatus and adapted to be kept in position by the weight of the user resting thereon, or by the user pressing thereon, one or more eyes or pulleys mounted on said member, and one or more resilient strands or ropes threaded through the eyes, or passed round the pulleys, and extended away from said member for connection at one end with an anchorage which is independent of 'the body of the user and at the other end with means for engagement by a part of the body to be exercised or used for exercise. In Fig. 1 pulleys 4 are mounted on plate 1. Resilient strands 6 have handles 10 at one end and L-shaped plates 9 at the other. These L-shaped plates are intended to be slipped beneath a door to form an anchorage. In Fig. 6, strands 6, after being passed round pulleys 4 on plate 1, are passed round pulleys 23 in channel members 21 and their free ends attached to winged-nut bolts 24 extending between the sides of the channel members. Handles 10 may be replaced by closed bands or slings or by a bar, while an alternative form of anchorage comprises a metal ring which may be attached to the leg of a bedstead or to a tent peg or a stake driven in the ground.</p> |
