Exercise accessory device, kit and method of using

[0002] The present invention relates exercise equipment more particularly to an exercise accessory device, kit and method of using the kit to assemble the device onto an exercise machine having at least two upper pulleys connected to a resistive force element via a system of wire ropes.

[0003] In the past, exercise equipment was generally designed for use by a single individual or occasionally requiring use by a spotter. Many types of equipment were difficult or time consuming to set up for use by a single individual and restricted the degrees of freedom to exercise or stretch various muscles throughout the body. It is now widely recognized that proper stretching and exercising of the muscles is an important aspect to overall fitness and health. However, most known exercising and stretching devices simply provide angularly limited means for allowing an individual to exercise muscles by narrow constraining the possible movements within any given the exercise device.

[0004] A wide variety of exercise equipment is currently available on the commercial market and an even larger number of these types of devices are known in the art of exercise equipment, for example, the cooperative exercising apparatus disclosed by Jensen in U.S. Pat. No. 4,634,118; the exerciser for diseased and/or aged people's arms and legs disclosed by Chen in U.S. Pat. No. 4,993,407; the leg and arm exerciser disclosed by Morgenstein in U.S. Pat. No. 5,419,749; the stretching machine disclosed by Sabel in U.S. Pat. No. 5,449,336; the computerized exercise system and method disclosed by Harvey et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 6,280,361; and the physical exercise stand disclosed by Gifford in U.S. Pat. No. D368,747.

[0005] While all of the above-described devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not describe an exercise accessory device having a pair of semicircular beams is pivotally attached to the top and bottom braces in which the pair of semicircular beams defines a perimeter of an imaginary sphere between the top and bottom braces in which the semicircular beams are locked in place to the top and bottom braces with the pair of bolts and nuts. This combination of elements would specifically match the user's particular individual needs of making it possible to angularly change the angles of each semicircular beam relative to the top and bottom braces by loosening the bolts and nuts in order to provide a user an infinite number of angles for use in exercising muscles with this exercise accessory device attached to an exercise machine. The above-described patents make no provision for an exercise accessory device having a pair of semicircular beams is pivotally attached to the top and bottom braces in which the pair of semicircular beams defines a perimeter of an imaginary sphere between the top and bottom braces in which the semicircular beams are locked in place to the top and bottom braces with the pair of bolts and nuts.

[0006] Therefore, a need exists for a new and improved exercise accessory device having an exercise accessory device having a pair of semicircular beams is pivotally attached to the top and bottom braces in which the pair of semicircular beams defines a perimeter of an imaginary sphere between the top and bottom braces in which the semicircular beams are locked in place to the top and bottom braces with the pair of bolts and nuts. In this respect, the exercise accessory device according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in doing so provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of providing a means for angularly changing the angles of each semicircular beam relative to the top and bottom braces by loosening the bolts and nuts in order to provide a user an infinite number of angles as a means for exercising muscles with this exercise accessory device attached to an exercise machine.

[0007] The present device, kit and method of using, according to the principles of the present invention, overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a exercise accessory device, kit and method of using is disclosed. The device comprises a top and bottom brace, a pair of bolts and nuts, a pair of semicircular beams, a pair of track pulleys, a pair of handle grips, and a pair of cables. The top and bottom braces are attachable to a respective top and bottom portions of the exercise machine. The pair of semicircular beams is pivotally attached to the top and bottom braces in which the pair of semicircular beams defines a perimeter of an imaginary sphere between the top and bottom braces in which the semicircular beams are locked in place to the top and bottom braces with the pair of bolts and nuts. Each semicircular beam has an inside edge comprising a slide rail with a plurality of holes traversing into the inside edge of each semicircular beam. The each track pulley includes a slide track base, a lock pin, a swivel arm, a yoke, an axle, and a wheel. The slide track base is slidably attached to the slide rail of anyone semicircular beam. The lock pin traverses through the orifice of the slide track base wherein the distal end of the lock pin is slidably insertable into anyone hole in semicircular beam. The swivel arm is attached to the slide track base. The yoke is attached to the swivel arm. The axle is attached to the yoke. The wheel is attached to the axle. The distal end of each cable is attached to the resistive force element of the exercise machine. The proximate end of each cable is attached to anyone handle grip. The middle portion of each cable is slidably connected to anyone track pulley of the device and slidably connected to anyone upper pulley of the exercise machine. The kit comprises the unattached constituents of the device. The method comprises the steps of adjoining, affixing, joining, linking, obtaining, positioning, pushing, securing, sliding, and threading.

[0008] In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known type exercise devices now present in the prior art, the present invention provides an improved exercise accessory device, which will be described subsequently in great detail, is to provide a new and improved exercise accessory device which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by the prior art, either alone or in any combination thereof.

[0009] To attain this, the present invention essentially comprises a top and bottom brace, a pair of bolts and nuts, a pair of semicircular beams, a pair of track pulleys, a pair of handle grips, and a pair of cables. The top and bottom braces are attachable to a respective top and bottom portions of the exercise machine. The pair of semicircular beams is pivotally attached to the top and bottom braces in which the pair of semicircular beams defines a perimeter of an imaginary sphere between the top and bottom braces in which the semicircular beams are locked in place to the top and bottom braces with the pair of bolts and nuts. Each semicircular beam has an inside edge comprising a slide rail with a plurality of holes traversing into the inside edge of each semicircular beam. The each track pulley includes a slide track base, a lock pin, a swivel arm, a yoke, an axle, and a wheel. The slide track base is slidably attached to the slide rail of anyone semicircular beam. The lock pin traverses through the orifice of the slide track base wherein the distal end of the lock pin is slidably insertable into anyone hole in semicircular beam. The swivel arm is attached to the slide track base. The yoke is attached to the swivel arm. The axle is attached to the yoke. The wheel is attached to the axle. The distal end of each cable is attached to the resistive force element of the exercise machine. The proximate end of each cable is attached to anyone handle grip.
