Abstract
Abstract A physical exerciser having two elongated members positioned within the first and second tubular members so as to permit the elongated and tubular members to telescope one within the other. A handle is are carried by each of the tubular and elongated members on the ends thereof remote from one another. One or more resilient members may be disposed within the tubular members to resist movement of the handles towards one another enabling physical exercises to be performed. Two lengths of rope are positioned between the handles to provide for another exercise. Pulling exercises are performed by pulling the rope lengths apart to cause the handles to move towards one another. Each resilient member is compressible. The various constructions of one or more exerciser disclosed embody particularly advantageous arrangements of the resilient members relative to the tubular members. Resilient members may be connected between a bush on one elongated member and a flange on the other member. Other resilient members may be positioned between the flange and one handle and between the bush and the other handle.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
242 words
A physical exerciser comprising an assembly constituted by first and second tubular members arranged in telescopic relationship with the first and second tubular members constrained for axial movement relative to one another, said first tubular member being positioned within said second tubular member and having a sliding fit within the second tubular member; constraining means for resisting inward displacement of handles on said first and second tubular members and said means being wholly within the assembly to additionally constrain the first and second tubular members to axial movement relative to one another; first and second handles carried by the first and second tubular members at the ends thereof remote from one another, respectively; said constraining means including an elongate member carried by and extending away from said second handle, a flange carried on the elongate member at the end thereof remote from the second handle with the flange and said flange being positioned inside the first tubular member and having a sliding fit within the first tubular member, and a bush through which the eLongate member slidably fits and through which the elongate member projects into the first tubular member, said bush being located at the end of the first tubular member remote from the first handle, and a compressible resilient means for resisting the axial displacement of the first and second handles relative to one another; and said compressible resilient means being arranged wholly between the flange and the first handle.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
242 words
A physical exerciser comprising an assembly constituted by first and second tubular members arranged in telescopic relationship with the first and second tubular members constrained for axial movement relative to one another, said first tubular member being positioned within said second tubular member and having a sliding fit within the second tubular member; constraining means for resisting inward displacement of handles on said first and second tubular members and said means being wholly within the assembly to additionally constrain the first and second tubular members to axial movement relative to one another; first and second handles carried by the first and second tubular members at the ends thereof remote from one another, respectively; said constraining means including an elongate member carried by and extending away from said second handle, a flange carried on the elongate member at the end thereof remote from the second handle with the flange and said flange being positioned inside the first tubular member and having a sliding fit within the first tubular member, and a bush through which the eLongate member slidably fits and through which the elongate member projects into the first tubular member, said bush being located at the end of the first tubular member remote from the first handle, and a compressible resilient means for resisting the axial displacement of the first and second handles relative to one another; and said compressible resilient means being arranged wholly between the flange and the first handle.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
A physical exerciser as defined in claim 1 wherein said constraining means further include a rod carried by and extending from the first handle through the flange which is apertured to receive the rod with a sliding fit.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
A physical exerciser as defined in claim 1 said compressible resilient means further comprising an additional resisting member disposed between and abutting at its ends the bush and the second handle.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
A physical exerciser as defined in claim 1 wherein the said compressible resilient means further comprises a concertina spring.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
A physical exerciser as defined in claim 1 wherein the said compressible resilient means further comprises a series of compressible resilient balls.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
46 words
A physical exerciser as defined in claim 1 further comprising an additional resisting means, said last mentioned means including a single coil spring which embraces the elongate member and which is disposed between and is attached at its respective ends to the bush and the flange.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
47 words
A physical exerciser as defined in claim 1 further comprising an additional resisting means including a member having a multiplicity of coil springs which are disposed around the elongate member and which extend between and are attached at its respective ends to the bush and the flange.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
42 words
A physical exerciser as defined in claim 1 further comprising two ropes each extending between the first and second handles and of such a length to cause the said resisting means to remain in tension when said exerciser is not in use.
