DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0022] In the first embodiment according to FIG. 1 of the diagrams, it is illustrated a perspective view of the exercise device according to the current invention. The exercise device has a top end 3, capable of being attached to a support surface such as a wall, a pole, bar or any such fixed surface. It also has a middle support member 1, on which a plurality of loops 2 are attached and adapted capable of receiving a human hand or an attachment to it during an exercise activity. The device also has a bottom end 4 at the end of said middle support member 1.

[0023] Depending on the nature of the exercise, the device may be used during a climbing exercise, for lifting weights or pulling against heavy objects.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the middle support member 1 embodies a strap with a wide face and thin width to enable the attachment of the loops to either faces of the strap. The material making up the strap may be elastic, non-elastic, fabric, nonfabric, nylon or any such flexible material. However, in other embodiments, the middle support member 1 embodies a rope with approximately symmetrical dimensions or uniform cross-section.

[0025] In a second embodiment according to FIG. 2 of the diagrams is a front elevation view of the exercise device according to the current invention. Illustrated on the diagram is a top end 3, a middle support member 1, a holding gap 5 and a loop attachment mechanism 6. The holding gap 5 is adapted capable of receiving a human hand during an exercise, such as climbing or pulling, wherein the top end 3 is attached to a fixed surface such as a wall. On the other hand, the preferred attachment mechanism comprises of stitches that attach the loop to the middle support member 1. However, the attachment mechanism may also comprise of a velcro, buttons or welding the loop onto said middle support member.

[0026] In a further embodiment according to FIG. 3 of the diagrams, it is demonstrated a side elevation view of the exercise device according to the current invention. Illustrated on the diagram is a middle support member 1, on which a plurality of loops 2 are attached and adapted with holding gap 5 capable of receiving a human hand or an attachment to it during an exercise activity.

[0027] In yet another embodiment according to FIG. 4 of the diagrams is a top view of the exercise device according to the current invention. The top view shows a vertically suspended exercise device. Illustrated on the diagram is a middle support member 1, on which a plurality of loops 2 are attached.

[0028] In a final embodiment according to FIG. 5 of the diagrams demonstrates the current exercise device while being used by a human. It is shown on the diagram a middle support member 1, on which a loop 2 is attached using a suitable attachment mechanism. The holding gap 5 adapted on said loop is capable of receiving a human hand 10 during an exercise activity. The middle support member supports the human during an exercise activity. During such an activity, the human hand or an attachment to it would cause a load on the loop receiving said human hand or attachment to it, wherein the load is translated to the middle support member 1 and to a fixed surface such as but not limited to a wall, an exercise bar or any such fixed surface.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION

[0029] The current invention is applicable in the construction of exercise devices.
