Weight lifting strap with equipment engagement system

摘要

A device for supporting or attaching to exercise equipment, such as free-weights or machines is disclosed. The device includes an elongated strap that supports a generally C-shaped hook that has a pair of generally parallel limbs. The C-shaped hook is attached to the elongated strap such that the limbs of the C-shaped hook are generally parallel to the length of the elongated strap. Additionally, a safety mechanism that prevents items held within the C-shaped hook is also disclosed.

主权项

1. An exercise device for attaching exercise equipment from a limb of a person, the exercise device comprising:
a flat elongated strap that extends along an axis and further comprises a first end, a second end, an upper side edge and a lower side edge, the upper side edge and the lower side edge extending between the first end and the second end; a buckle that is attached to the second end of the flat elongated strap, so that the first end of the flat elongated strap may be extended through the buckle to provide for adjustment of the flat elongated strap around the limb of the person; a planar generally C-shaped hook, the planar generally C-shaped hook having an elongated upper limb and an elongated lower limb that is spaced apart from and generally parallel with the elongated upper limb to define an elongated gap between the elongated upper limb and the elongated lower limb, the elongated lower limb being adapted for supporting a load in a cantilevered manner, the elongated upper limb having at least one aperture for accepting a connector for attaching the elongated upper limb to the flat elongated strap at a location near the second end of the flat elongated strap such that the at least one aperture inhibits rotation of the planar generally C-shaped hook relative to the flat elongated strap, the elongated upper limb and the elongated lower limb being attached to one another through a support section that retains the spaced apart relationship of the elongated upper limb relative to the elongated lower limb, the elongated upper limb being secured against the flat elongated strap such that the elongated lower limb is generally parallel to the flat elongated strap, so that exercise equipment may be mounted from the elongated lower limb while the flat elongated strap is attached around the limb of the person.
