20090029830 | Grip strengthener with therapy ball - A grip strengthener with therapy ball includes a resilient pad and ball. The pad is flat and has at least one side surface, a top surface, a bottom surface, a ball mount and a finger slit. The ball mount is defined through the pad and has an inner edge. The finger slit is defined in the top surface of the pad between the ball mount and one of the at least one side surface. The ball is mounted detachably in the ball mount of the pad and has an outer surface, a mounting groove, a top side and a bottom side. The mounting groove is defined around the outer surface of the ball and engages the inner edge of the ball mount in the pad. The top side and the bottom side respectively protrude the top surface and the bottom surface of the pad. | 01-29-2009 |
20090062709 | Knee support - A knee support having a body, a ring, at least one fastening strap, two securing straps and a gap. The body has a fastening end, a securing end and an outer surface. The ring is mounted through the body. The at least fastening strap extends from the fastening end and has at least one fastener and is long enough to allow the fastening strap to be wrapped around a knee and cross over the ring. The at least one fastening strap helps to secure the ring and thus provides extra support and protection for a patella of the knee. The two securing straps extend from the securing end and each has at least one fastener. The gap is formed between the securing straps. | 03-05-2009 |
20090069735 | ANKLE GUARD AND BRACE SEGMENT FOR THE ANKLE GUARD - A brace segment for an ankle guard is worn above and over an ankle to protect the ankle and provide a firm base for a resilient sleeve having two halves. Two brace segments are mounted on the halves of the resilient sleeve and each has a proximal end, a pressing segment and a support cavity. The pressing segment is formed from the proximal end of the brace segment and extends over the ankle. The support cavity is formed by bending the pressing segment to prevent inversion and eversion of the ankle and protect the ankle from knocks. Because the ankle guard has two identical brace segments the ankle guard can be implemented with both feet has lower cost and complexity of manufacture and greater commercial exploitation. | 03-12-2009 |
20090126065 | Knee support - A knee support has a body and two pressing strips. The body is a band having two ends, a central segment, a protecting portion, and a shockproof pad. The protecting portion is formed in the central segment of the body. The two pressing strips are formed on the outer surface of the body and each has a distal end and a connector being formed on the distal end. The distal end of the pressing strip mounted through the ring, folded back on itself and attached to the body using the connector. The body orientates and holds the knee support in position while the pressing strip presses tightly against and supports a patella of the knee. The knee support prevents discomfort associated with loss of blood and provides good shock-absorption for the knee. | 05-21-2009 |
20090156375 | Dual-purpose dumbbell - A dual-purpose dumbbell has a bar, two weights and two adjusting assemblies. The bar has two ends. The two weights are mounted rotatably respectively on the ends of the bar and can be configured longitudinally or transversely relative to the bar. The adjusting assemblies are mounted respectively between the ends of the bar and the weights to allow the weights rotated relative to the bar. When the weights are configured longitudinally, the dual-purpose dumbbell is used as a dumbbell or a weighted baton. When the weights of the dual-purpose dumbbell are configured transversely, the dual-purpose dumbbell can be used as a handle for doing pushups. Since the dual-purpose dumbbell can be used as a dumbbell, a weighted baton and a handle for use when doing pushups, less space is required to store exercise equipment and less cost is incurred to procure the exercise equipment. | 06-18-2009 |
20090198165 | BRACE FOR ANKLE SUPPORT - A brace has a shell formed within a contour that according to a person's ankle and a binding to fasten the shell onto the ankle. When the person is wearing an ankle support, the brace is mounted on an external surface of the ankle support and fastened by the binding. Such that the brace supports the ankle support and provides an extra constriction to the person's ankle to provide an extra effect of ankle immovability and impact cushion. The brace supports the ankle support via an inner surface evenly abuts the whole external surface of the ankle support. Thus, a pressure is evenly applied to the person's ankle and ordinary blood flow in the person's ankle portion is allowed so that the brace is comfortable to wear. | 08-06-2009 |
20100121242 | Knee protective assembly - A knee protective assembly has a mounting device and a protective device. The mounting device has two mounting frames and two jointing elements. Each mounting frame has a mounting panel, two articulated arms, a connecting tab and an adjusting mount with multiple adjusting holes. The jointing elements are respectively connected to the articulated arms of the mounting frames. The protective device is detachably connected to the mounting device and has two protective pads. The protective pads are respectively connected to the mounting frames of the mounting device and each protective pad has two inserting rods and two fasteners. Accordingly, after loosening the fasteners from the inserting rods on the upper protective pad and inserting the inserting rods into another adjacent adjusting holes of the upper mounting frame, the length of mounting device of the knee protective assembly is adjusted to fit with different users' legs. | 05-13-2010 |
20100298750 | WRIST GUARD - A wrist guard has a glove body and two adjustable support parts. The glove body has a palm-holding part and two connection parts. The palm-holding part is mounted in an upper half portion of the glove body. The two connection parts are mounted to a lower half portion of the glove body and have a through hole respectively. The adjustable support parts are adjustably mounted to the corresponding connection part. Each of them has a support piece and a locking module. The support piece having an interconnection part is movably mounted to the corresponding connection part, and a locating slot is formed through the interconnection part to overlap with the through hole of the corresponding connection part. The locking module passes through the through hole of the corresponding connection part and locating slot to position the support piece on the corresponding connection part. | 11-25-2010 |
20110071450 | Pivot mechanism for a joint support - A pivot mechanism for a joint support has a connector, a first support and a second support. The connector has multiple slots. The first support and the second support are mounted pivotally in the connector and rotate synchronously, and each has a protrusion. The protrusions are adjusted to mount in the slots of the connector and to limit an angle between the first and second support to a determined range. Then, the pivot mechanism is attached around a joint of a patient to limit joint movement within the determined range, which can be adjusted easily during rehabilitation. | 03-24-2011 |
