Abstract

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a multi-functional exercise device for improving flexibility, range of motion and muscle strength of the user's hands. The exercise device comprising a first band unit comprising a plurality of first spokes, plurality of first spokes connected diametrically opposite to second band unit comprising plurality of second spokes via a central hub, each first spoke provides a means for connecting a first band to central hub and each second spoke provides a means for connecting a second band to the central hub, and a wrist band comprising elongated bands secured to central hub, wrist band comprising an opening configured to wrap around wrist for improved stability and additional base support when both palms are stretched, the central hub comprising a miniature digital counter and a miniature stretch sensor, the miniature stretch sensor electrically coupled to the miniature digital counter.

Claims (24)

1. An exercise device comprising:

a first band unit comprising a plurality of first spokes, whereby the plurality of first spokes connected diametrically opposite to a second band unit comprising a plurality of second spokes via at least one central hub, each first spoke provides a means for connecting at least one first band to the at least one central hub and each second spoke provides a means for connecting at least one second band to the at least one central hub; and

at least one wrist band comprising at least two elongated bands secured to the at least one central hub, the at least one wrist band comprising at least one opening configured to wrap around the wrist for improved stability and additional base support when both palms are stretched, whereby the at least one central hub comprising at least one miniature digital counter and at least one stretch sensor, the at least one stretch sensor electrically coupled to the at least one miniature digital counter.

2. The exercise device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first bands, the plurality of second bands, and the at least two elongated bands come in varying colors denoting different strength or resistance grades.

3. The exercise device of claim 1 , wherein each first spoke comprising at least two openings for wrapping the at least one finger of the user's first hand.

4. The exercise device of claim 1 , wherein each second spoke comprising at least two openings for wrapping the at least one finger of the user's second hand.

5. The exercise device of claim 1 , wherein each spoke is configured to cover proximal and middle phalanges of each finger.

6. The exercise device of claim 1 , wherein each spoke is independent to other spoke and is configured to allow for greater flexibility and extension of each finger.

7. The exercise device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first bands, the plurality of second bands, and the at least two elongated bands are configured to allow the user to perform various user's finger exercises and user's hand exercises.

8. The exercise device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first bands, the plurality of second bands, and the at least two elongated bands which in itself varies in tension based on the different colors of the plurality of first bands, the plurality of second bands, and the at least two elongated bands.

9. The exercise device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one miniature stretch sensor is configured to record the plurality of first bands, the plurality of second bands, and the at least two elongated bands extension and compression information while the user is exercising the user's fingers and the user's hands.

10. The exercise device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one miniature digital counter is configured to track the cycle count of the plurality of first bands, the plurality of second bands, and the at least two elongated bands.

11. The exercise device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one miniature digital counter is operatively connected to the miniature stretch sensor in order to receive either analog or digital signals of the stretch force value recorded in the miniature stretch sensor.

12. The exercise device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one miniature stretch sensor and the at least one miniature digital counter are connected to at least one computing device via a network and the recorded values transfer to the computing device via the network.

13. An exercise device comprising:

a first band unit comprising a plurality of first spokes, whereby the plurality of first spokes connected diametrically opposite to a second band unit comprising a plurality of second spokes via at least one central hub, each first spoke provides a means for connecting at least one first band to the at least one central hub and each second spoke provides a means for connecting at least one second band to the at least one central hub; and

at least one wrist band comprising at least one male counterpart and at least one female counterpart secured to the first band unit and the second band unit, the at least one wrist band comprising at least one opening configured to wrap around the wrist for improved stability and additional base support when both palms are stretched, the at least one wrist band and the at least one central hub detached from the plurality of first and second spokes, then the plurality of first and second spokes, transform into gloves, whereby the at least one central hub comprising at least one miniature digital counter and at least one stretch sensor, the at least one stretch sensor electrically coupled to the at least one miniature digital counter.

14. The exercise device of claim 13 , wherein the plurality of first bands and the plurality of second bands comprising a plurality of hook-and-loop belts.

15. The exercise device of claim 13 , wherein the at least one male counterpart and at least one female counterpart configured to allow the user for easy attachment and detachment of the at least one wrist band to the first band unit and the second band unit.

16. The exercise device of claim 13 , wherein each spoke is configured to cover the middle or intermediate phalange, proximal phalange of each finger.

17. The exercise device of claim 13 , wherein each spoke is having beadings positioned between the center of the phalanges.

18. The exercise device of claim 13 , wherein the plurality of first spokes and the plurality of second spokes are connected to the at least one central hub via a plurality of first bands and a plurality of second bands and are detached based on function and need.

19. The exercise device of claim 13 , wherein each spoke comprising a Velcro female counterpart and each band comprising a hook-an-loop male counterpart.

20. The exercise device of claim 18 , wherein the plurality of first spokes and the plurality of second spokes and the central hub are fastened by inserting the Velcro male counterpart into the hook-and-loop female counterpart.
