Appl. No.:

5/753582

Abstract:

A portable exercise totalizer for recording total exercise exertion during an exercise period. The exercise totalizer comprises a pulse generator for producing pulses at various predetermined frequencies. A group of activating switches represent respectively various exercise routines, such as walking, jogging, running, sprinting, and the like. At the beginning of the exercise period, an operator actuates the activating switch representing the exercise routine to be performed during the exercise period. The actuation of the activating switch activates the pulse generator and selects the pulse frequency to be produced by the pulse generator during the exercise period. At the end of the exercise period, the operator actuates a deactivating switch to discontinue the generation of pulses by the pulse generator. The selected frequency for the pulse generator represents the level of exercise exertion performed by the operator during the exercise period. A counter records the accumulated total of exercise exertion for the exercise period, which total is displayed visually.

Abstract:

A device for aiding in the selection of a balanced diet. The device comprises a container in which is disposed an upright artificial stem. On the outer walls of the container are displayed food group indicia for achieving a balanced diet. Mounted on the stem and extending radially outward therefrom are artificial branches. At the distal end of each branch is a vertically disposed plate having grooves along the perimeter thereof. The grooves are angularly spaced along the perimeter of the plate. Adjustably mounted on each plate is an artificial petal. The petals are adjustably movable along the vertical plates, respectively, in a pivotal movement in a vertical direction. Initially, the petals are disposed in the elevated position. Each petal designates a nutritional group of food represented by the indicia on the outer walls of the container. As food from a nutritional group is consumed, the associated petal is moved downwardly a distance commensurate with the quantity of nutritional value consumed.
