Invention Patent Descriptive Report for APPARATUS, KIT, AND METHOD FOR EXECUTING BELT-BASED EXERCISES.
[001] This application claims the benefit of and priority for Patent Application Number 15 / 359,176, APPARATUS, KIT, AND METHOD FOR EXECUTING BELT-BASED EXERCISES, filed on November 22, 2016 which is fully incorporated by reference.
FIELD OF DESCRIPTION [002] The present invention generally relates to a modular belt-based exercise method and apparatus, and more specifically to an apparatus and method for modularly connecting components of a belt-based exercise device.
BACKGROUND [003] The present invention generally relates to exercise devices, and specifically to a modular exercise device that has one or more inelastic straps that is easily configurable for use in performing different exercises in a wide variety of environments.
[004] Resistance exercise devices allow a user to exercise by providing resistance to the user's body movement. For example, a resistance exercise device can employ an individual's own body weight to allow a user to work one muscle against another providing resistance to the movement of the user's arms, legs, or torso. Resistance exercise devices typically include either elastic bands or inelastic straps.
[005] Often, resistance exercise devices are configured to attach to a support structure, such as a door, a fixing point on a ceiling, or a frame.
Petition 870190060645, of 06/28/2019, p. 5/27
2/19 specially constructed talica. However, such resistance exercise devices are often unable to work with a wide variety of structures, so different devices must be used with each type of support structure. Also, due to differences in height, weight and / or strength between different users, it may not be possible for a single user to use a single device for a variety of exercises or for different users to use a single device for the same exercise. Consequently, resistance exercise devices are generally usable for only a limited number of exercises or in only a limited number of circumstances. This requires users to purchase, maintain and use a wide range of resistance exercise devices to perform multiple exercises or to use with different types of support structures.
[006] There is a need to provide a resistance exercise device that is capable of being used for a complete workout for any user, including adjustments that allow a wide range of rooms and exercises, and that provides resistance to the user's movement in a way that is useful for exercise. In addition, there is a need for a modular resistance exercise device that offers the strength and reliability required by users, while simultaneously being economical to manufacture and not adversely affecting the size and weight of the device. As such, there is a specific need for an improved apparatus and method for connecting portions of a resistance exercise device (such as, for example, straps) together in a number of different configurations.
SUMMARY [007] The apparatus and method presently described overcome the disadvantages of the prior art by providing a new exercise system.

Petition 870190060645, of 06/28/2019, p. 9/27
6/19 several portions of the device in order to provide resistance to the user's body.
[0025] In order to better understand the modular resistance exercise device presently presented, two exemplary prior art resistance exercise devices are generally described below and with reference to Figures 1-4, which are taken from US Patent Number 7,044,896 (the description of which is incorporated by reference).
[0026] Figures 1-3 provide an illustrative overview of a resistance exercise device 100. As shown in the schematic view of Figure 1, Exercise device 100 can be anchored at a point A between a door D and a stop of door J. Figure 2 is a partial section view 2-2 of Figure 1, shown along a door D and showing exercise device 100 in profile. Figure 3 is illustrative of a user U exercising with the exercise device of Figure 1.
[0027] Exercise device 100 includes an anchor 110 and in addition to elongated members 122, indicated as a first elongated member 122a and a second elongated member 122b, on each side of the anchor, as shown schematically in Figures 1 and 2. Each one of the pair of elongated members 122 has a corresponding elongation mechanism 135 (also referred to herein as a belt length adjustment mechanism), indicated as mechanism 135a and 135b. A pair of handles 123 is provided, with one positioned at each end 121 of each arm 122, specifically the first arm 122a has a first handle 123a, and the second arm 122b has a second handle 123b. Each arm 122 is substantially inelastic and flexible with an adjustable length L between a corresponding pair of handles 123 and anchor 110. The length of each arm 122 is adjustable using the locking mechanism.

7/19 stretching 135, as indicated by double arrows AL.
[0028] As used herein, the noun handle encompasses any device that is interlockable with part of the human body, that is, any device that can be connected in such a way that a person can transfer a force to the handle, preferably an equal force to some or all of a person's body weight. As used, the verb to catch refers to the action of connecting such a device and a part of the body. When used in an exercise device, a handle is attached to other elements that allow force to be transferred to another object, including, but not limited to, a stationary support, a device that can store or release energy (such as an elastic cord or a spring), or another part of the body. Handles include devices that can be encircled by a body part - for example, a flexible loop or a hook - that a body part can encircle - such as an elongated member that can fit inside a user's hand grip. In this context, a member that can be grasped, or grasped, is one that can either surround a body part or be surrounded by a body part and has a size and configuration that allows the transfer of force from the user to the handle. A hand grip is a grip that is sized to grip by hand, a foot grip is a grip that is sized to grip a foot, and the finger grip is a grip that is sized to grip by one or more of the user's fingers .
[0029] Anchor 110 provides support for elongated member 120 while still allowing some amount of movement. Specifically, the interaction of anchor 110 and elongated member 120 allows the elongated member 120 to be positioned on anchor 110, and can also provide resistance to movement of the member
Petition 870190060645, of 06/28/2019, p. 11/27
8/19 elongated 120 along the anchor 110. Preferably, the resistance is sufficient so that, under some circumstances, the support prevents the movement of the elongated member 120 along the anchor 110, even where there is some mismatch of forces on the anchors. ends of elongated member 120. In this mode, exercise device 100 can be used for a variety of exercises, for example, changing the length of elongated member 120, for example, and also providing an exercise device that can provide support for the user while exercising.
[0030] A type of support is referred to here, without limitation, as a friction support. Anchors providing a friction support include, but are not limited to, an element or portion of an element that can support the elongated member 120 during exercise, and over which the elongated member 120 can slide. The resistance to movement of elongated member 120 on anchor 110 can be determined, in part, by the frictional resistance of elongated member 120 sliding on anchor 110. For example, elongated member 120 may be configured to slide along anchor 110 while a user positions himself. During exercise, a slight mismatch in the pulling forces on the handles 123 is matched by the static friction of the friction support, and the handles 123 do not move while exercising. That is, the static friction between the elongated member 120 and the anchor 110 generated by the friction support is sufficient to allow exercises in which the elongated member 120 does not slide through the anchor 110 while exercising. Means that provide friction support include elements or portions of elements that form part of or which are attached to an anchor and which can support an elongated member (which can, for example, include handles) and which can allow the elongated member slide along the supporting anchor and provide frictional resistance to movement

9/19 elongated limb during exercise.
[0031] Anchor 110 is used to provide a fixed anchor point for exercise device 100 and to support a user's weight as it is applied to elongated members 122 as indicated by an arrow F in Figure 2 and as shown in Figure 3. As shown in Figure 2, the anchor 110 is adapted to position the exercise device 100 on a door and provide support for the elongated members 122 having an enlarged portion 111, an elongated member 113 which can be a belt or cable, and a fixture 115 to support the members elongated by the anchor. With the enlarged portion 111 on the opposite side of door D from the elongated members 122, the anchor 110 supports the weight of a user as the handles 123 are pulled. The length of each elongated member 122 can be easily adjusted through each stretching mechanism 135. Figure 2 shows the arms 122 each having a length L.
[0032] In one mode, the length L is adjustable over a length that allows a wide range of exercises. Thus, for example, and without limitation, the length L can be varied in length from approximately 307.8 mm (3 feet) to 615.6 mm (6 feet). In another embodiment, the elongate member 122 is approximately 38.1 mm (1.5 inches) wide.
[0033] When supported by a structure, such as port D (as shown, for example, in Figures 1-3) the exercise device provides a pair of handles for a user to exercise against their weight according to the position of the relative to the device, and provides easy adjustment of the device length. The device can be used to exercise in any of a large number of orientations according to the selected adjustable length and according to where and how the user is in relation to the device
Petition 870190060645, of 06/28/2019, p. 13/27
10/19 of exercise. In general, a user adjusts the exercise device to a desired length, positions himself on the floor next to the exercise device, supports a portion of his weight from the exercise device's body by his hands or feet, and exercises by moving his body with its weight supported by the floor and the exercise device. Examples of support on the floor and exercise device include, but are not limited to, standing on one or both legs, lying on your stomach or on your back, kneeling, or having your hands on the floor, and making the exercise device support your weight by hands or feet, as appropriate.
[0034] In an alternative embodiment (not shown), the elongated members 122 do not include the stretching mechanisms 135. In this embodiment, the elongated members 122 are thus substantially inelastic and have a fixed length L between the pair of handles 123.
[0035] With reference to Figure 3, a user U is shown in one of many exercise positions, specifically a high lift exercise, grasping the pair of handles 123 with the user's hands and having the user's feet placed at a distance horizontal X from anchor point A. When anchored to a door, it is preferred that anchor point A is on the inside side of (that is, the door opens away from user U) so that stop J can support the user weight. User U is shown leaning away from anchor point A and supporting a fraction of his weight through device 100. It is apparent that user U can vary the amount of weight supported, and thus the resistance of exercise device 100, by adjusting of your posture in relation to anchor point A (distance X) and the length of arms 122 (length L). User U in Figure 3 performs a high lift exercise by moving his body in an E direction in the direction and away from anchor point A. Note that other exercises are also possible with the user in this

11/19 position, for example, by the user moving in other directions with the user's weight supported by the floor and the exercise device 100.
[0036] Figure 4 provides a perspective view of another exercise device 400 which includes an anchor 410 and alongside elongated members 422. Exercise device 400, anchor 410, and elongated members 422 are generally similar to the exercise 100, anchor 110, and elongated limbs 122, respectively, except further detailed below. Where possible, similar elements are identified with identical reference numbers in Figures 14.
[0037] Anchor 410 includes a substantially inelastic, flexible elongated member 413 that has an enlarged first end 411 that is wider than the belt, and a second end in the attachment. 415. Throughout this description, the terms substantially inelastic or inelastic are used to refer to an element that does not stretch more than 10% during use. As understood by someone skilled in the art, a degree of elasticity is inherent in most materials, specifically when they experience significant loading. Anchor 410 supports each of a pair of elongated members 422, indicated as elongated members 422a and 422b in fixation 415. Each elongated member 422 has a respective end 421, shown as end 421a and 421b, each forming a loop 425, shown as loop 425a and 425b, to support one of a pair of handles 423, shown as handle 423a and 423b. Each elongated member 422 also includes a pair of elongation mechanisms 435, shown without limitation, such as buckle 435a and 435b. In addition, each elongated member 422 includes a member 429, shown as members 429a and 429b, which is sewn on the belt 414 in the attachment. 415.
Petition 870190060645, of 06/28/2019, p. 15/27
12/19 [0038] As previously noted, anchor 410 includes an inelastic, flexible elongated member 413. In one embodiment, most lengths of anchor 410 and elongated members 422 are formed from materials that include, but are not limited to, straps of a braid made of a natural or synthetic material that has sufficient strength to support the weight of a device user. Braided materials include, but are not limited to, one or more of a nylon, polypropylene or other polymeric fibers. It should be understood that a single length of flexible material may alternatively comprise two or more pieces that are sewn, glued, or otherwise attached to one another. In various embodiments, the length of the elongated member 413 from the first end 411 to the fixture 415 can range from 25.4 mm (1 inch) to greater than 431.8 mm (17 inches). In certain other embodiments, the length of the elongated member 413 from the first end 411 to the fixture 415 is 25.4 to 457.2 (1 to 18 inches). The elongated member 413 has an enlarged first end 411 which is wider than the elongated member, and a second end 417 which is attached to the arms 422a and 422b.
[0039] The exercise devices 100, 400 of Figures 1-4 are used in a single configuration. A single anchor 110, 410 which is suitable for attachment to a single type of structure (that is, between a door and a door stop) is attached to the device 100, 400, together with a single type of handle 123, 423. , although the length of several portions of the device 100, 400 can be adjusted within a predetermined range (which is limited, for example, by the total length (s) of the belt (s)) , the device 100, 400 is limited to a single configuration and the length cannot be adjusted indefinitely.
[0040] Figure 5 is a perspective view of a set of
Petition 870190060645, of 06/28/2019, p. 16/27
13/19 hand grip 500 suitable for use in a modality of a modular exercise device. In addition, two sets of handgrip 500 can be attached to a frame at a separate point (that is, using a separate anchor or attachment point), which allows a user to perform exercises such as pull ups, dips, and muscle ups more easily than is possible with an exercise device such as exercise device 400 which employs a single anchor 100, 410.
[0041] In one embodiment, the handgrip assembly comprises a combination handle 520 comprising a tubular handgrip 523, a foot grip 522, and a support member 525. In another embodiment, alternative grips, such as handle 123, handle 423, or other configurations of handholds, footholds, or fingerholds, can also be used in place of the combination handhold 520.
[0042] In one embodiment, the handgrip assembly further comprises a member 514 with a respective from a pair of loops 516a, 516b at each end. In one embodiment, the first loop 516a is mobilely connected to a stretching mechanism 512 and the second loop 516b is connected to a belt securing mechanism 518. As shown, by way of example and without limitation, the stretching mechanism 512 can be a buckle and the belt clamping mechanism 518 can be a carabiner. A belt restraint 524 can secure the free end of the belt 514 closest to the first loop 516a. In alternative embodiments, other combinations of stretching mechanisms and belt fastening mechanisms are used (for example, two stretching mechanisms, two belt fastening mechanisms) or one or more of the loops 516a, 516b are left free.
[0043] Combination handle 520 is attached to member 514
Petition 870190060645, of 06/28/2019, p. 17/27
14/19 through a first mode of an infinite loop 502. As shown, infinite loop 502 comprises a single member 510 formed in three distinct loops - loop 504, loop 506, and loop 508. Loop 508 is configured to hold in the belt clamping mechanism 518, while loop 508 is configured to clamp to belt stretching mechanism 512. Loop 506 is configured to support the combination handle 520 through support member 525. In one embodiment, loop 506 it serves as a friction support for supporting member 525, which is movable through loop 506. In another embodiment, loop 506 is fixedly connected to support member 525.
[0044] In one embodiment, loop 506 is configured to restrict support member 525 so that support member 525 is angled away from the user's arm while the combination handle 520 is in use. As shown in Figure 5, support member 525 is constrained by loop 506 so that support member 525 is substantially parallel to the user's arm at the point where support member 525 passes through loop 506. This prevents the edges support member 525 rub or irritate against the user's arm during exercise. As discussed above, in one embodiment, support member 525 is fixedly attached to loop 506 so that support member 525 is held parallel to the loop. In an alternative embodiment, the support member is restricted movable by loop 506. In one embodiment, loop 506 is substantially inflexible. Loop 506 may incorporate an inflexible material, such as an outer rubber liner which prevents the loop from flexing, to ensure that support member 525 is held parallel to the user's forearm.
[0045] Figure 6 provides a side view of the infinite loop 502, with the other elements of the handgrip assembly 500 omitted. How
Petition 870190060645, of 06/28/2019, p. 18/27
15/19 shown, the infinite loop 502 is formed of a single member 510. The member 510 is stacked by folding the member 510 against itself in each of the loops 504, 506, and 510. A first portion of the member 510 closest to one end 510a is folded against a second portion of member 510, forming loop 504. The third portion of member 510 is folded against the second portion of member 510, forming loop 506. A fourth portion of member 510 closest to end 510b it is folded over the third portion of member 510, forming loop 508. In this mode, a stack comprising four layers of member 510 is formed.
[0046] The stacked portions of member 510 can be fastened together. In one embodiment, a seam is used to join the layers of the member 510 together along lines 602 and 604. In one embodiment, an additional seam can be used to connect the layers of the member 510 together in the area between lines 602 and 604. In one embodiment, the seam along lines 602, 604 form parallel seam lines.
[0047] Figure 7 provides a perspective view of a modality of a belt 700 for use in a modular exercise device comprising two infinite loops 702a and 702b. As shown, the two infinite loops 702a and 702b are formed of a single elongated member 708. Each end of the elongated member comprises a loop 708a, 708b. In one embodiment, one or more of the loops 708a, 708b is connected to a belt clamping mechanism 712.
[0048] Providing multiple infinite loops 702a and 702b on a single belt 700, the belt 700 can be used with high anchor points by users of varying heights or by a single single user to perform a wide variety of exercises (such as pull ups , dips, and muscle ups) without having to adjust the 700 belt. Instead,
Petition 870190060645, of 06/28/2019, p. 19/27
16/19 different attachment points on the belt 700 provided by the infinite loops 702a, 702b can be used in connection with a handle set.
[0049] Sewing threads 710 are used to hold various portions of the elongated member 708 together, such as near loops 708a, 708b where the elongated member 708 folds back on itself. Similarly, three sewing threads are used to form each of the infinite loops 702a, 702b. In one embodiment, one or two sewing threads are used. In an alternative embodiment, four or more sewing threads are used. As discussed herein, in other embodiments, other mechanisms are used to secure the elongated member 708 portions together to form loops 708a, 708b and infinite loops 702a, 702b.
[0050] Each infinite loop 702a, 702b comprises a pair of opposing component loops. As shown, infinite loop 702a is formed from component loops 704a, 706a and infinite loop 702b is formed from component loops 704b, 706b. Each of the component loops 704a, 704b, 706a, 706b can be attached to a belt clamping mechanism in order to secure a handle, another belt, or another component of a modular exercise device. In one embodiment, the elongated member is wrapped around the loop closest to support structure 708a and the belt clamping mechanism 712 is attached to the component loop 706a. In this mode, the belt 700 is attached to the support structure and can be used to perform various exercises. In various embodiments, handles (such as, for example, the combination handle 520) are attached to one or more of the component loops 704a, 704b, 706a, 706b or loops 708a, 708b. In one embodiment, a belt length adjustment mechanism is operatively connected to the belt 700 to allow a user to adjust the distance between infinite loops 704, 706 or
Petition 870190060645, of 06/28/2019, p. 20/27
17/19 between the ends of the belt 700.
[0051] In one embodiment, accessories for component loops 704a, 704b, 706a, 706b are attached in order to direct the force to the opposite end. In other words, in one embodiment, if a handle is attached to component loop 704a or 704b, loop 708a is attached to a support. Similarly, if a handle is attached to the component loop 706a or 706b, the loop 708b is attached to a support. In this mode, the resistance of the belt 700 is maximized and the force on the seam 710 is minimized. In an alternative embodiment, the handles can be attached to component loops 704a, 704b, 706a, 706b regardless of whether the loop 708a or 708b is attached to a support, increasing the versatility of the belt 700 and allowing its use in connection with a wide variety of exercises.
[0052] Figure 8 provides a side view of the infinite loop 702, with the other elements of the belt 700 omitted. As shown, the infinite loop 702 is formed of a single member 708.
