Abstract
Abstract An exercising device for use by an exerciser includes a turntable for supporting the exerciser and a frame for supporting the turntable about a pivot point. The turntable has an outer peripheral edge which is positionable to contact a fixed member lying in a plane disposed from the pivot point. The pivotal support of the frame allows the peripheral edge of the turntable to have a rolling contact with the fixed member. The exercising device also includes a handbar including a pair of handbar members, each of which may be gripped by the hands of the exerciser. The handbar device also includes means for connecting the handbar members and means for adjusting the positions of the handbar members with respect to each other. The frame rotatably receives the handbar members and constrains movement of the handbar members to a fixed circular path. The handbar device is rotatable about an axis so that the handbar members move in a fixed circular path when rotated by the hands of the exerciser. The frame is collapsible so that the exercising device may be stored or shipped in a compact configuration.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
An exercising device for use by an exerciser comprising a turntable for supporting the feet of the exerciser, a frame means for pivotally supporting said turntable for universal pivotal movement about a point, said turnable having an outer peripheral edge dimensioned to be positionable to have a continuous rolling contact with a fixed member lying in a plane disposed from said point, said continuous rolling contact being induced by leaning of the exerciser thereby creating a wobbling action of the turntable, a handbar device including a pair of handbar members each of which may be gripped by the hands of the exerciser, means for connecting said handbar members, and means for adjusting the positions of said handbar members with respect to each other, said frame means rotatably receiving said handbar device and constraining movement of said handbar members to a fixed circular path, said handbar members being rotatable about an axis such that said handbar members move in the fixed circular path when rotated by the hands of the exerciser.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
170 words
An exercising device for use by an exerciser comprising a turntable for supporting the feet of the exerciser, a frame means for pivotally supporting said turntable for universal pivotal movement about a point, said turnable having an outer peripheral edge dimensioned to be positionable to have a continuous rolling contact with a fixed member lying in a plane disposed from said point, said continuous rolling contact being induced by leaning of the exerciser thereby creating a wobbling action of the turntable, a handbar device including a pair of handbar members each of which may be gripped by the hands of the exerciser, means for connecting said handbar members, and means for adjusting the positions of said handbar members with respect to each other, said frame means rotatably receiving said handbar device and constraining movement of said handbar members to a fixed circular path, said handbar members being rotatable about an axis such that said handbar members move in the fixed circular path when rotated by the hands of the exerciser.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
170 words
An exercising device for use by an exerciser comprising a turntable for supporting the feet of the exerciser, a frame means for pivotally supporting said turntable for universal pivotal movement about a point, said turnable having an outer peripheral edge dimensioned to be positionable to have a continuous rolling contact with a fixed member lying in a plane disposed from said point, said continuous rolling contact being induced by leaning of the exerciser thereby creating a wobbling action of the turntable, a handbar device including a pair of handbar members each of which may be gripped by the hands of the exerciser, means for connecting said handbar members, and means for adjusting the positions of said handbar members with respect to each other, said frame means rotatably receiving said handbar device and constraining movement of said handbar members to a fixed circular path, said handbar members being rotatable about an axis such that said handbar members move in the fixed circular path when rotated by the hands of the exerciser.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
170 words
