Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
PRIORITY [0001] The present invention claims priority under 35 USC section 119 based on the patent application Ser. No. 60/659,272 filed on Mar. 7, 2005. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to exercise devices and more particularly to exercise devices that involve walking on arms and legs. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] The world awaits, horrified, at the threat of a pandemic cause by the H5N1 avian influenza virus. However, nature has provided a unrecognized mitigating solution to this problem. If the pandemic does occur, not all humans may survive, but the number that survive can be increased if certain procedures in accordance with the teachings of the present invention which imitate nature are implemented. In order to implement these procedures, the difference between climbing muscles and walking muscles should be recognized. In the human arm and in the forearm of other animals, are located muscles which if used properly will determine the number of humans that survive this pandemic. In a more general sense, hardly a day goes by without a reminder that Americans and other world humans are obtaining insufficient exercise. This problem has resulted from widespread obesity throughout the world population and the associated health problems such as diabetes and hypertension. This lack of exercise results in part from the view that regular exercise is a chore and is unappealing. It is theorized that if exercise could be made fun, then regular exercise would become a popular pastime. [0004] The feline can switch from walking muscles to climbing muscles easily. The feline can, by extending its claws, engage the climbing muscles in the front and hind legs, and in a similar fashion by retracting its claws can engage its walking muscles in the same legs. The feline can swiftly shift from using its climbing muscles to walking muscles. In humans, the lack of the ability to engage our walking muscles in our arms has resulted in a vulnerability to heart trouble, stroke, the inability to develop a robust blood circulatory, ischemia, edema and a myriad of other disorders too numerous to categorize. It is these physical inabilities, amounting to a malady, that results in human beings being susceptible to asthma, allergies and other respiratory diseases which may result in the human race being unnecessarily susceptible to diseases such as the avian H5N1 flu virus if it should hit, and the human race has not taken sufficient precautions. [0005] It has been noted that the great apes, bonobo, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans walk on the soles of their hind paws and on the knuckles of the digits of their front paws. However, humans can not easily perform this type of locomotion simply because their human knuckles are not protected sufficiently to withstand the pressures and frictions involved in this type of locomotion. Furthermore, the arms of a human being are not sufficiently long to achieve this type of locomotion and to maintain their spine in a substantially horizontal plane. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0006] The present invention allows human beings to achieve the advantages of being able to easily and naturally walk on all four arms and legs. As a result of being able to perform these tasks, human beings are able to convert this activity into wellness and health energy which flows into all areas of the human being to improve blood circulation, respiration, digestion and the elimination of feces. This activity in conjunction with a effects of gravity facilitates the flow of blood to the human brain. In this way, the brain receives an additional amount of oxygenated blood, resulting in an overall feeling of well-being. This solution will allow hyperactive children to eliminate their dependence on various drugs and may aid in controlling deviant adult behavior such as road rage or drive-by shootings. Exercise in accordance with the teachings of the present invention can induce a sense of gentle nature-ness through the muscle walking exercises discussed herein. [0007] In addition to the gorilla walking on its knuckles, the gorilla employs knuckles stomping which is believed to be the reason why the gorillas are not susceptible to asthma and other upper respiratory illnesses. [0008] The ELEPHEET of the present invention allows human beings including preschoolers to walk and stomp in a manner similar to the great apes and will extend the reach of the arm to approximately match the length of the leg and to protect the knuckles with padding, support the wrist and lower arm with an air inflated support and shunt the pressure on the wrist to the elbow. Furthermore, the ELEPHEET of the present invention develops the chest and the upper respiratory region of humans including children and provides an addictive way to increase physical activity. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0009] The invention may be understood by reference to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which, like reference numerals identify like elements, and in which: [0010] FIG. 1 illustrates the user and the ELEPHEET of the present invention; [0011] FIG. 2 illustrates one embodiment of the ELEPHEET of the present invention; [0012] FIG. 3 illustrates a side view of another embodiment of the ELEPHEET of the present invention; [0013] FIG. 4 illustrates a front view of the ELEPHEET of the present invention; [0014] FIG. 5 illustrates a side view of another embodiment of the ELEPHEET of the present invention; [0015] FIG. 6 illustrates a front view of the ELEPHEET of the present invention; [0016] FIG. 7 illustrates a side view of another embodiment of the ELEPHEET of the present invention; [0017] FIG. 8 illustrates a front view of the ELEPHEET of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0018] In order to activate or use the walking muscles of the arms, it is necessary to inactivate the climbing muscles of the arms which should be inactivated by preventing the wrist and lower arm from moving while walking on all fours. Furthermore, it is advantageous to extend the reach of the arms with the ELEPHEET so that the length of the arms in conjunction with the ELEPHEET is approximately the same length as the legs of the user. This results in the back of the user being approximately parallel with the horizontal plane. FIG. 1 illustrates this aspect of the present invention and shows the user 110 walking on all four arms and legs with the arms being extended with the ELEPHEET 100 of the present invention.
