Inertial exercise device

摘要

This invention is for a starting apparatus for an inertial pendulum. The apparatus is provided with elastic strands twisted about each other and inelastic strands wound about the twisted strand and the ends of the strands are secured to each other so that when one end of the strands is attached to an inertial element and tension is applied to the other end the strands are caused to untwist and the inertial element caused to rotate.

主权项

1. A starter apparatus for inertial pendulums comprising;
a) at least two elastic strands and at least two inelastic strands, each of the elastic strands and inelastic strands being approximately the same length, and each of the strands having a first end and a second end, wherein, b) the first ends of each of the elastic strands and inelastic strands are joined together; c) the elastic strands are wound about each other, and stretched, and the inelastic strands are approximately parallel to each other and to the wound elastic strands; d) the second ends of each of the elastic strands and inelastic strands are joined together, so that when tension is removed from the elastic strands and inelastic strands the elastic strands are again wound about each other and the inelastic strands are wound about the elastic strands; and wherein the joined first ends of the elastic strands and inelastic strands are secured in a first gripping structure and the joined second ends of the elastic strands and inelastic strands are secured in a second gripping structure.
