Combination grip for an exercise device

Abstract

An exercise device having many advantageous features is described, including the ability to provide a combination of grips to the user, and the ability to easily mount the device to a wall. One exercise device described is an inelastic resistance device having a combination grip that includes hand grips and a loop. The hand grip and loop may be used as a foot grip, or alternatively, just the hand grip can be used by the hand. The selection of a specific accessory grip allows the user to exercise by specific body parts and provides for a greater number of possible exercises.

1 . A grip for use by a user of an exercise device, said grip comprising:
 an elongated member, where said elongated member is in the form of a figure-8 and defines a cross-over portion, a first loop attached to the exercise device, where said first loop extends to the cross-over portion, and a second loop, where said second loop extends from said cross-over portion; and   a hand grip slidably attached to elongated member near said cross-over portion,   where the size of said second loop is adjustable according to the position of said hand grip on said elongated member.   
   
   
       2 . The grip of  claim 1 , where said hand grip includes a hollow tubular portion having a first end and a second end, and where said cross-over portion is between said first end and said second end. 
   
   
       3 . The grip of  claim 1 , where said second loop is sized to restrain a foot. 
   
   
       4 . The grip of  claim 1 , where said elongated member includes a webbing. 
   
   
       5 . The grip of  claim 1 , where the size of said second loop is adjustable by pulling said hand grip away from the exercise device. 
   
   
       6 . The grip of  claim 1 , where said hand grip engages said elongated member when said second loop is pulled away from said exercise device. 
   
   
       7 . The grip of  claim 6 , where, when said second loop is pulled away from the exercise device, said second loop does not substantially change in size. 
   
   
       8 . A grip for use by a user of an exercise device, said grip comprising:
 an elongated member attached to the exercise device; and   a hand grip slidably attached to said elongated member,   where said elongated member forms a loop, where said loop extends to said hand grip, and   where the size of said loop is adjustable according to the position of said hand grip along said elongated member.   
   
   
       9 . The grip of  claim 8 , where said loop is a first loop, where said hand grip includes a hollow tubular portion having a first end and a second end, and where said elongated member forms a figure-8 and defines a cross-over portion, a second loop attached to the exercise device, where said second loop extends to the cross-over portion, and said first loop, where said first loop extends from said cross-over portion, and where said cross-over portion contacts said first end and said second end. 
   
   
       10 . The grip of  claim 8 , where said first loop is sized to restrain a foot. 
   
   
       11 . The grip of  claim 8 , where said elongated member includes a webbing. 
   
   
       12 . The grip of  claim 8 , where said hand grip is removable from said elongated member. 
   
   
       13 . The grip of  claim 8 , where the size of said first loop is adjustable by pulling said hand grip away from the exercise device. 
   
   
       14 . The grip of  claim 8 , where said hand grip engages said elongated member when said first loop is pulled away from said exercise device. 
   
   
       15 . The grip of  claim 14 , where, when said first loop is pulled away from the exercise device, said first loop does not substantially change in size. 
   
   
       16 . A grip for use by a user of an exercise device, said grip comprising:
 an elongated member attached to the exercise device, where said elongated member includes a flexible material; and   a hand grip slidably attached to said elongated member,   where a portion of said elongated member is a loop having loop ends each in contact with said hand grip, and   where the length of said elongated member of said loop between said loop ends is adjustable according to the position of said hand grip on said elongated member.   
   
   
       17 . The grip of  claim 16 , where said loop is a first loop, where said elongated member is a second loop attached to the exercise device. 
   
   
       18 . The grip of  claim 16 , where said first loop is sized to restrain a foot. 
   
   
       19 . The grip of  claim 16 , where said flexible material includes a webbing. 
   
   
       20 . The grip of  claim 16 , where said hand grip is removable from said elongated member. 
   
   
       21 . The grip of  claim 16 , where the length of said elongated member of said first loop is adjustable by pulling said hand grip away from the exercise device. 
   
   
       22 . The grip of  claim 16 , where said hand grip has one or more passageways therethrough, and where said elongated member passes through at least one of said one or more passageways. 
   
   
       23 . The grip of  claim 16 , where said hand grip includes a hollow tubular portion, and where said elongated member forms a figure-8 which defines a cross-over portion, and where said cross-over portion is within said hollow tubular portion.
