Appl. No.:

11/603820

Inventors:

Curtis J. Miller - Tustin CA, US

International Classification:

A63B 21/008

US Classification:

482112, 482111, 188284, 188285, 18832213, 18832214

Abstract:

The multifunctional portable pneumatic exercise device is a muscular exercise and training device that may be used for a multiplicity of exercises and with a wide variety of muscle groups. The exercise device includes a telescopic tube that is sealed at a distal end thereof and has a valve mounted on the proximal end thereof. In operation, the user compresses the telescopic tube and the increased air pressure within the telescopic tube causes fluid resistance, providing the user with muscular exercise. The user controls the fluid resistance through selective adjustment of the valve, which controls the volume of air escaping from the telescopic tube. Further, a pair of straps are releasably secured to either end of the telescopic tube, allowing the telescopic tube to be secured to a selected body part. The exercise device is portable, easy to operate and provides a wide range of muscular exercises for the user.

Abstract:

In a mattress construction, a first flexible bag having a first cavity encloses a separate second flexible bag having a second cavity and a separate third flexible bag having a third cavity and extending around the periphery of the second bag. A first valve extending through the first bag and the second bag provides means for filling the second cavity with water. A second valve extending through the first bag and the third bag provides means for filling the third bag with air. A third valve extending through the first bag provides means for bleeding air from the first cavity during the filling of the second and third cavities. A method for constructing the mattress includes steps for attaching the second bag and the third bag to the first bag during the construction of two subassemblies.

Abstract:

A cap adapted for use with an elongated rail having a pair of opposed lateral surfaces includes a support member having laterally opposed walls which extend along the lateral surface of the rail. A resiliently compressible material is disposed over the support member and held in place by a cover. Opposed marginal portions of the cover are bent around respective troughs formed by the walls of the support member, and each marginal portion is retained within the associated trough by a spline. The walls of the support member bias the cover into frictional engagement with the lateral surfaces of the rail to retain the cap on the rail.
