Abstract
Abstract Hand wrestling apparatus comprising a base, and means for securing the base upon a table or the like at the edge thereof. The base includes a handle which is supported for universal articulation. A reference plate of disc-shaped character having a generally semi-circular peripheral extent is pivotally mounted upon the base and operatively associated with the handle so that the reference plate may be pivoted in a first direction toward and away from the base in unison together with the handle. A plurality of springs or the like interconnect the reference plate and the handle to one another for biasing the handle from movement in a second direction transversely of the direction of the reference plate displacement. The springs may be positioned in any of a number of locations on both the plate and handle so that the pressure exerted against the handle can be adjusted and controlled.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
108 words
A hand wrestler comprising a base, handle means, means supporting said handle means on said base for universal articulation relative to the latter, reference means operatively associated with said handle means and displaceable together with the latter in a first direction toward and away from said base, and resilient means interconnecting said reference means and said handle means for biasing said handle means from movement in a second direction transversely of said one direction of the reference means displacement, said reference means and said handle means being operatively associated to indicate the force exerted on the handle means when the handle means is displaced in said second direction.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
108 words
A hand wrestler comprising a base, handle means, means supporting said handle means on said base for universal articulation relative to the latter, reference means operatively associated with said handle means and displaceable together with the latter in a first direction toward and away from said base, and resilient means interconnecting said reference means and said handle means for biasing said handle means from movement in a second direction transversely of said one direction of the reference means displacement, said reference means and said handle means being operatively associated to indicate the force exerted on the handle means when the handle means is displaced in said second direction.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A hand wrestler as claimed in claim 1, including means for detachably connecting said base to an external source in fixed relation with the latter.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
A hand wrestler as claimed in claim 1, including support means for accommodating different positions of said resilient means on said reference means to permit adjustment of the pressure exerted against said handle means.

Claim 13
Dependent Claim
48 words
A hand wrestler as claimed in claim 7, wherein said disc-shaped reference means is provided with an arcuate guide slot extending generally parallel to the arcuate periphery thereof, said limbs including a reinforcing member extending therebetween in fixed relation and transversely through said guide slot for displacement therealong.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
49 words
A hand wrestler as claimed in claim 1, wherein said reference means is provided with a pair of oppositely extending graduated index scales along its entire extent each initiating at the peripheral center of the reference means and terminating respectively at the opposite peripheral ends of the reference means.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
35 words
A hand wrestler as claimed in claim 13, including abutment means adjustably associated with said reference means for engagement by said handle means at one of a plurality of selected indicies of said scales respectively.
