The Patent Description & Claims data below is from USPTO Patent Application 20070287604, Apparatus for stretching hip adductor.

1. A stretching apparatus for a hip adductor, the apparatus comprising:a pair of support members for supporting inner portions of legs of a user;a connecting member wherein the connecting member connects the support members together wherein the support members stretch the legs of the user to a predetermined angle wherein the support members maintain the legs in a stretched position; andjoint units wherein each of the joint units is attached to a corresponding one of the support members wherein each of the joint units is connected to a terminal end of the connecting member wherein each of the joint units joins the connecting member to the support members.

2. The stretching apparatus of claim 1 wherein the support members are configured to support the legs of the user from a malleolus of each leg of the user to a thigh of each leg the user.

3. The stretching apparatus of claim 1 further comprising:a first support wherein the first support protrudes toward one of the support members wherein the first support member has a globe-shaped inner space; anda second support wherein the second support has a globe-shaped portion at one end of the second support wherein the globe-shaped portion is inserted into the inner space of the first support wherein a space is formed at an opposite end of the second support wherein the space receives the connecting member.

4. The stretching apparatus of claim 1 further comprising:a support wall on each of the joint units wherein the support wall has a pair of protrusions wherein the pair of protrusions protrude toward one of the support members wherein the support wall has a support bar for connecting the protrusions wherein the connecting member terminates with a bent hook wherein the support bar catches the bent hook wherein the bent hook and the support bar join the connecting member one of the support members.

5. The stretching apparatus of claim 4 wherein the bent hook bends to form a substantially closed curve wherein the support bar inserts into the bent hook and joins the connecting member with the support member.

6. The stretching apparatus of claim 1 wherein at least two of the joint units are provided in upper and lower positions of one of the support members wherein at least another two of the joint units are provided in corresponding positions of the other one of the support members.

7. The stretching apparatus of claim 1 further comprising:a length-adjusting unit arranged in an intermediate portion of the connecting member wherein the length-adjusting unit adjusts a length of the connecting member to change a stretching angle.

8. The stretching apparatus of claim 7 further comprising:a turn buckle having inner threads of opposite directions and further wherein the connecting member is divided into two sections wherein each of the sections of the connecting member has a thread formed at an end of the connecting member facing away from the joint unit wherein the thread conforms to one of the inner threads of the turn buckle wherein the thread couples the section of the connecting member with the turn buckle.

9. The stretching apparatus of claim 7 further comprising:a length-adjusting pipe wherein the length-adjusting pipe has a hollow inner space wherein the hollow inner space receives the sections of the connecting member and a plurality of through holes wherein the connecting member is divided into two sections wherein each of the sections of the connecting member has a protrusion arranged at an end of the section of the connecting member wherein the end of the section faces away from the joint unit wherein the protrusion elastically protrudes from the section of the connecting member wherein the protrusion is inserted into a corresponding one of the through holes of the length-adjusting pipe to adjust the length of the connecting member.
