Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Cross-Reference to Related Applications [0001]
  • This application claims the benefit of U.S. application Ser. No. 60/212,290, filed Jun. 19, 2000.[0002]
  • 1. Field of the Invention [0003]
  • This invention relates to hand grips, and more specifically, to a portable hand grip that easily wraps around and is removed from an exercise bar. [0004]
  • 2. Related Art [0005]
  • A secure grip is extremely important when using weightlifting equipment, such as dumbbells or a weightlifting bar, because it may prevent the user from accidently dropping the equipment. A secure grip also allows the user to lift more weight and to increase the number of repetitions performed during a particular exercise. [0006]
  • There are several prior grips that are intended to assist a user in exercising with weightlifting equipment. For example, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,775,756 to Rozenich, a secure gripping system is disclosed that is a gripping pad wrapped around an exercise bar. The principle disadvantage with this gripping pad is that the two ends of the pad must overlap, thereby creating a bump or rise in the pad on the exercise bar. This overlapping is very uncomfortable to the user and may interfere with the user's lifting. In addition, the pad only uses the natural adhesion of the pad material to hold the two ends together, thereby further requiring the overlapping of the two ends. Therefore, there is a need for a hand grip or pad for use with an exercise bar wherein the ends of the hand grip do not overlap. [0007]
  • In U.S. Pat. No. 4,867,444 to Castillo, a hand grip is disclosed that has a slot extending radially through the grip to allow the grip to be spread apart and put onto and removed from an exercise bar. The disadvantage with this grip is that there is no means for securing the edges of the slot together to prevent the slot from opening and falling off of the exercise bar. Therefore, there is a need for a hand grip or pad for use with an exercise bar wherein the edges of the hand grip are secured together to prevent their separation during use. [0008]
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The hand grip of the present invention solves the problems associated with the prior art by providing a hand grip pad that wraps around an exercise bar wherein the two ends of the hand grip do not overlap. The hand grip is a flexible pad with a first means for securing attached to a first end and a second means for securing attached to a second end such that when the flexible pad is wrapped around the exercise bar, the first means for securing is joined with the second means for securing such that the top surface of the flexible pad provides a continuous smooth surface around the bar. The two ends may be secured with one or more magnets, notched teeth, or Velcro. In an alternative embodiment, the top surface of the flexible pad may have an ergonomic style of finger/palm shape, and the bottom surface may be textured to give a more secure and non-slip grip on the exercise bar. [0009]
  • The principle advantage to using a hand grip of the present invention is that by eliminating the overlapping of the ends, there is no bump, or rise, in the hand grip to interfere with the user's exercise. In addition, the hand grip will not fall off the exercise bar or slip easily out of position. The hand grip is truly portable in that it is easily put on and removed from an exercise bar, allowing a user to use a single pair of hand grips on many different types of exercise bars. [0010]

  • FIG. 6 is a planar view showing an alternative hand grip.[0017]
    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present invention and shows a [0018] hand grip 100 being a flexible pad about 5 inches square having a first end 108, second end 110, top surface 102 and bottom surface 112. A first means for securing is attached to the first end 108 and a second means for securing is attached to the second end 110.
  • In operation, a user wraps the [0019] hand grip 100 around a bar 202, e.g., an exercise bar shown in FIG. 2, such that the bottom surface 112 of the flexible pad is in contact with the bar 202, and joins the first end 108 with the second end 110 by connecting the first means for securing with the second means for securing. The hand grip 100 wraps around the bar 202 such that the first end 108 and the second end 110 of the hand grip 100 do not overlap each other. It is essential that the first end 108 of the hand grip 100 does not overlay or overlap the second end 110 and that the two ends 108, 110 join together so that the top surface 102 is a continuous smooth surface around the bar 202. Typically, as shown on FIG. 4, a user will use two hand grips 100, one for each hand, at a first point 402 and a second point 404 on a bar 202 that correspond to the user's natural placement of his/her hands when lifting.
  • The preferred means for securing the [0020] first end 108 and the second end 110 of the hand grip 100 comprises notched teeth wherein both the first end 108 and the second end 110 interlock. In this embodiment, the first means for securing the first end 108 are a plurality of first notched teeth 114 a,b and first spaces 116 a-c that correspond to the pattern of the second notched teeth 104 a-c and second spaces 106 a-b that comprise the second means for securing the second end 110. See FIG. 2 and FIG. 5B. Specifically, the first notched teeth 114 a,b fit within the second spaces 106 a-b and the second notched teeth 104 a-c fit within the first spaces 116 a-c. The hand grip 100 is shown having two first notched teeth 114 a,b and three second notched teeth 104 a-c for convenience purpose only. It would be readily apparent to design and make the hand grip 100 of the present invention having any number of first notched teeth 114 a-b and second notched teeth 106 a-c.
  • An alternative means for securing the [0021] first end 108 and the second end 110 of a hand grip 302 is shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 5A which comprises two magnets. In this alternative embodiment, the first means for securing the first end 108 is a first magnet 304 and the second means for securing the second end 110 is a second magnet 306. Therefore, in operation, when brought together the first magnet 304 and the second magnet 306 are magnetically sealed, thereby holding the hand grip 302 in place around a bar 202.
  • In another alternative embodiment, the first means for securing the [0022] first end 108 is a plurlaity of first magnets 502 and the second means for securing the second end 110 is a plurality of second magnets 504. There are preferably two or more first magnets 502 and second magnets 504, such as commercially available magnetic “nibbles.” Also, the second magnets 504 may be positioned on the outer surface of the second end 110 or may be recessed in one or more apertures in the second end 110 such that when secured together, the first magnets 502 are hidden within the aperture(s) of the second end 110.
  • The [0023] hand grip 100 is described in terms of notched teeth and magnets for convenience purpose only. It would be readily apparent to one of ordinary skill in the relevant art to secure the first end 108 and the second end 110 of the flexible pad by any comparable means, such as Velcro.
  • The [0024] hand grip 100 is made of a flexible material that can bend around a bar. Also, the hand grip 100 is made of foam rubber or a gel composite such that the pressure applied by a user's hand is distributed throughout the pad. The hand grip 100 can also be comprised of “sponge” like material as a means for cushioning the user's hand and alleviating any hand pain when exercising.
  • In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, an [0025] alternative hand grip 600 may have a bottom surface 604 that is rough, or is otherwise textured, so that the hand grip 600 does not slip out of place during its use on a bar 202. Also, the top surface 602 of the hand grip 600 may feature an ergonomic style of finger/palm shape to add comfort and control to the user.
  • All references to materials and dimensions are for convenience purpose only. It would be readily apparent to one of ordinary skill in the relevant art to use comparable materials and dimensions when making a [0026] hand grip 100.
    • CONCLUSION
  • While various embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it should be understood that they have been presented by way of example only, and not limitation. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. Thus, the breadth and scope of the present invention should not be limited by any of the above-described exemplary embodiments, but should be defined only in accordance with the following claims and their equivalents.
