Impinged retention exercise assembly
View Patent ↗Three types of exercise grips provide for pivot-anchoring of an impinging body within them so that the impinger heads engage stretchable or non-stretchable exercise media extending upward through their tunnels. The first is a handgrip, the second, an exercise spool used in the manner of cross-country skiing or vigorous walking and the third, an ankle crescent-shaped grip for lateral repetition exercises of the legs. An impinger is caused to swing down to press against exercise media emerging from the grip's tunnel to provide a reliable of connection. Proper anchoring of the impinger within the grip assures its continuing presence to make adjustments and avoids its loss or misplacement. The handgrip permits of anchoring either within the body's interior or at its exterior, in which case, the impinger stem is caused to extend through a window cut therein.

the impinger's stem is configured to comprise relative rigidity providing the impinger axial stability.
7. The impinged retention exercise assembly according to claim 5 wherein the impinger tether's means of pivot-retention comprise one of
pinchable tether pegs; and
rod-like transverse extensions;
and the exercise spool grip's tether pivot-anchoring means disposed at the exercise spool grip's exterior sector comprises one of
a retention channel; and
a retention tunnel.
8. The impinged retention exercise assembly according to claim 7 wherein the tether pivot-anchoring means comprises a retention channel in turn comprising a narrowed sector.
9. An impinged retention exercise assembly comprising:
an impinger for an exercise media member; and
an impinger anchoring exercise grip;
the impinger comprising
a head;
a stem; and
a tether in turn comprising means of pivot-retention;
the exercise grip comprising an ankle crescent exercise grip in turn comprising an interior sector generally concave in configuration;
