Abstract

A handgrip is modified to have a tethering window cut through one of its upright prongs so that the stem of an impinger can be extended through it to anchor the impinger at the outside portion of the handgrip. Anchoring is accomplished either by the extension of the impinger's tether pegs into sockets or apertures or by trapping the tether within a channel formed there. Once anchored, the impinger's head is positioned within the handgrip's cord tunnel where it becomes forced against stretchable or non-stretchable exercise media including stretchable exercise sheet.

Claims (22)

1. An adjustable exercise handgrip assembly comprising:

an impinger for an exercise media member; and

an impinger anchoring handgrip;

the impinger comprising

a head;

a stem; and

a tether configured for impinger retention;

the handgrip comprising

a tethering window; and

tether anchoring means;

wherein the tether is disposed for retention with the stem extending through the tethering window such that the exercise media member's impingement by the head is not subjected to compromise by reason of obstructive presence of the stem or tether within the handgrip's tunnel.

2. The adjustable exercise handgrip assembly according to claim 1 wherein the impinger comprises pinch-tethered configuration in turn comprising pegs for impinger retention.

3. The adjustable exercise handgrip assembly according to claim 1 wherein the handgrip's tether anchoring means comprises transverse peg apertures.

4. The adjustable exercise handgrip assembly according to claim 1 wherein the handgrip's tether anchoring means comprises a retention channel disposed at the handgrip's exterior sector.

5. The adjustable exercise handgrip assembly according to claim 1 wherein the handgrip comprises an ensconcing hollow disposed at the exterior sector thereof wherein the impinger's tether is anchored to enhance the assembly's use.

6. The adjustable exercise handgrip assembly according to claim 1 wherein

the impinger's head, impinger's stem and the handgrip's tunnel are disposed in communicative alignment;

the impinger's head and handgrip's tunnel are disposed in radially centered alignment;

the impinger comprises horizontally aligned head to tether centering; and

the impinger's stem is configured to comprise relative rigidity providing the impinger axial stability.

7. The adjustable exercise handgrip assembly according to claim 4 wherein the retention channel and the tethering window are disposed in communicative alignment with one another.

8. The adjustable exercise handgrip assembly according to claim 4 wherein the tether retention configuration of the handgrip's tether retention channel comprises a narrowed sector.
