Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0008] The accompanying drawings are included to provide a better understanding of the disclosure and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification. The drawings together with the description provide an explanation of the principles of the invention.

[0009] FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically illustrating a versatile exercise band having an outer layer, an inner layer, an overlapping layer, and an anchor.

[0010] FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically illustrating a versatile exercise band having an outer layer, an inner layer, and fastening means comprising a buckle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0011] Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the invention. Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings.

[0012] FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically illustrating a closed loop versatile exercise band according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the versatile closed loop exercise band includes an outer layer 1 that is designed to provide comfort to the person using the exercise band. The outer layer 1 is made of comfortable material like fabric in order to accommodate the body of the user in a comfortable way and at the same time avoid the band rolling upon itself or popping. The outer layer 1 is attached to the elastic inner layer 2 causing outer layer 1 and inner 2 to expand and contract together. The versatile closed loop exercise band comprises a first end and a second end folded together to form an overlapping area 3 where the first end overlaps the second end of the exercise band. An anchor 4 is placed within the overlapping area 3 and fastened between the first and second ends of the versatile closed loop exercise band. The anchor 4 allows the user to attach or hook the exercise band onto a wall or a stable surface. The t should be appreciated by a person of ordinary skill in the art that the fastening means can be any one of sewing stiches, a buckle, a hook buckle, or adhesive material.

[0013] FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically illustrating a closed loop versatile exercise band according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the versatile closed loop exercise band includes an outer layer 1 that is designed to provide comfort to the person using the exercise band. The outer layer 1 is made of comfortable material like fabric in order to accommodate the body of the user in a comfortable way and at the same time avoid the band rolling upon itself or popping. The outer layer 1 is attached to the elastic inner layer 2 causing outer layer 1 and inner 2 to expand and contract together. The versatile closed loop exercise band comprises a first end and a second end connected together to form a closed loop via fastening means 3. The fastening means in FIG. 2 is a buckle, however, it should be appreciated by a person of ordinary skill in the art that the fastening means can be any one of sewing stiches, a buckle, a hook buckle, or adhesive material.

[0014] In some embodiments, an anchor can be sewn into the overlapping area of FIG. 2 though not labeled. The overlapping area of FIG. 2 is formed by folding one end of the exercise band upon itself forming an overlapping area within which an anchor can be sewn.

[0015] Although the disclosed examples have been fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be noted that various changes and modifications will become apparent to those skilled in the art. Such changes and modifications are to be understood as being included within the scope of the disclosed examples as defined by the appended claims.
