Body attached restraining type exercising device

Claim 2

An improved exercising device comprising a relatively wide elastic body engaging band, a substantially inelastic reinforcement material secured to one side of said body engaging band forming a body support belt, a relatively wide elastic wrap band means secured to and extending substantially beyond one end of the body support belt whereby said wrap band means may be stretched to tightly encircle the user's body in overlapped relation with said support belt on the inside thereof between the user and the belt to evenly distribute the pressure developed during an exercise program, over the contacted portion of the body and to insulate said body contacted portion, at least one elastic cord member attached to the reinforcement material of said body support belt, and means for releasably hooking the end of said elastic cord member to an anchored object such as the knob of a door whereby a user wearing said body support belt around the waist or midsection can jog in place against the tension of said elastic cord member.

Claim 3

The improved exercising device of claim 1 wherein said elastic cord member includes two ends which are attached to the two ends of the reinforcement material of said body support belt and said elastic cord member is extendable therefrom in a loop capable of being placed around the protruding portion of said anchored object and held thereon by tension when said cord member is stretched.

Claim 4

The improved exercising device of claim 2 wherein said wrap band means is formed by the integral extension of the body engaging band beyond one end of said reinforcement material.

Claim 5

The improved exercising device of claim 1 wherein said rubber-like body engaging and wrap band means has a width of between 4 and 12 inches, and said reinforcement material has a width of at leat 3 inches or 50% of the width of said body engaging and wrap band whichever is greater.

Claim 6

An improved exercising device comprising an elastic body engaging band, a substantially inelastic reinforcement material secured to one side of said body engaging band forming a body support belt, an elastic wrap band means formed by the extension of the body engaging band beyond one end of said reinforcement material on the inside thereof, said wrap band means being secured to and extending substantially beyond the body support belt to tightly encircle the user's waist in overlapped relation with said body support belt on the inside thereof, immediately adjacent to the body of a user said body engaging band and wrap band extension having a width of between 4 and 12 inches, and said reinforcement material having a width of at least 3 inches or 50% of the width of said body engaging band whichever is greater, and an elastic cord member the two ends of which are attached to the two ends of the reinforcement material of said body support belt, said elastic cord member being extendable therefrom in a loop capable of being placed around the protruding portion of an anchored object such as a doorknob and held thereon by tension when said elastic cord member is stretched by a user wearing said body support belt around the waist while jogging in place against the tension of said elastic cord member whereby said elastic body engaging band and its wrap band extension evenly distribute the pressure over the contacted portion of the body and insulate the user's midsection to induce sweating.

Claim 7

An improved exercising device comprising an elastic body engaging band, a substantially inelastic reinforcement material secured to one side of said body engaging band forming a body support belt, an elastic wrap band means formed by the extension of the body engaging band beyond one end of said reinforcement material on the inside thereof, said wrap band means being secured to and extending substantially beyond the body support belt to tightly encircle the user's waist in overlapped relation with said body support belt on the inside thereof, immediately adjacent to the body of a user said body engaging band and wrap band extension having a width of between 4 and 12 inches, and said reinforcement material having a width of at least 3 inches or 50% of the width of said body engaging band whichever is greater, and an elastic cord member the two ends of which are attached to the two ends of the reinforcement material of said body support belt, said elastic cord member being extendable therefrom in a loop capable of being placed around the protruding portion of an anchored object such as a doorknob and held thereon by tension when said elastic cord member is stretched by a user wearing said body support belt around the waist while jogging in place against the tension of said elastic cord member whereby said elastic body engaging band and its wrap band extension evenly distribute the pressure over the contacted portion of the body and insulate the user's midsection to induce sweating.
