  Wrap adaptor for rolling knee wraps for power-lifting purposesUSPTO Application #: 20060166800Title: Wrap adaptor for rolling knee wraps for power-lifting purposes Abstract: A wrap adaptor is provided which includes a Steel Shaft, an L shaped retainer bar inserted into and welded to the Steel Shaft, a deep centered bored hole in front of steel shaft, a Selector Pin, Foot Plate, and Rubber Band. The Steel Shaft is inserted into a drill, and a knee wrap is inserted under the L shaped retainer bar, the drill is powered on causing the knee wrap to become wound with tension; The Foot Plate is used to insert the Steel Shaft with tightly wound knee wrap into with the Selector Pin inserted into Steel Shaft forming a T to allow for removal of the wound knee wrap.

PRIOR ART [0001] Relevant Prior Art Includes: [0002] U.S. Pat. App. 20030218090 November 2003 Stith, David A. CROSS REFERENCES APPLICATION [0003] This Application references Provisional Application 60/646,129 BACKGROUND OF INVENTION [0004] 1. Field of Invention [0005] In power lifting, athletes lift tremendous amounts of weight, often in excess of 1,000 pounds. When an athlete is engaged in this rigorous activity they place a tremendous amount of stress on their joints, and too much weight, or excess stress, can put the athlete at risk. To minimize this risk many athletes wrap pre-tensioned knee wraps around their knees for added support. The problem with pre tensioned knee wraps is that the tighter they are wound the tighter they can be wrapped around the knees. It is difficult to consistently wrap and re-wrap knee wraps with the needed tension. Athletes lifting over 1,000 pounds need every bit of energy they can muster, and the painful process of manually rolling wraps by hand requires the athlete to expend valuable energy, and results in fatigue and tremendous pain to the athletes forearms. [0006] 2. Description of Related Art [0007] Another invention has attempted to solve this problem, but their inventions do not offer the same solution or functionality that the Wrap Adaptor solves. US Provisional Application 20030218090, Filing Date Feb. 21, 2003, Inventor, David A. Stith titled "Power Wrap Roller" uses a larger separate stand alone device that uses mutiple rollers to wrap the knee wraps. This device is bulkier, larger, and does not offer the portability that is offered by the Wrap Adaptor. SUMMARY OF INVENTION [0008] The present invention eliminates the fatigue and strength sapping effort that power-lifters expend in manually rolling knee wraps, by providing an apparatus and method that requires very little effort. The present invention allows the power lifter to roll knee wraps with optimal tension without expending a lot of energy, or requiring the use of bulky equipment.
