Gyroscopic exercise device with handles

USPTO Application #: 20080119336
Title: Gyroscopic exercise device with handles
Abstract: The gyroscopic device of the preferred embodiments includes a housing; a gyroscope within the housing; and a first handle having a first joint, wherein the first joint is coupled to the housing and is located such that when a user grasps the first handle, the first joint is located along the center line of the user's palm and adjacent to the user's wrist. The gyroscope preferably includes a track defining a continuous surface with a circular shape, a rotor that spins about a spin axis and rotates about a rotational axis, wherein the rotor has axle tips that frictionally contact the continuous surface of the track, and wherein the frictional contact defines a relationship between a spin rate of the rotor about the spin axis and a rotation rate of the rotor about the rotational axis.

  monitor keywords CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/866,000 filed on 15 NOV 2006 and entitled “Gyroscopic exercise device with non-rigid handles” and U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/888,748 filed 07 FEB 2007 and entitled “Gyroscopic exercise device with pivoting handles”, which are both incorporated in their entirety by this reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

This invention relates generally to the gyroscopic exercise device field and, more specifically, to an improved gyroscopic exercise device with an improved user interface.

BACKGROUND

Exercise machines can be used to improve an individual's health by providing resistance training or cardiovascular training. Conventional exercise machines for cardiovascular training are typically large and cumbersome. Conventional exercise machines for resistance training only provide resistance along one direction or path and require the user to reconfigure the machine to train the opposing muscles. Conventional gyroscopic devices were intended to overcome these disadvantages, however, they tend to cause the hands and wrists of a user to experience a large amount of torque that is not useful and in some cases may be harmful. Thus, there is a need in the gyroscopic exercise device field to create an improved gyroscopic exercise device with an improved user interface. This invention provides such an improved gyroscopic exercise device.
