IT IS CONSISTING OF A BATONI PRESENTING AN ORIFICE3 IN WHICH IS INTRODUCED A LEATHER STRAP2 IN WHICH THE USER CAN POST HIS FOOT, THUS MAKING A LOWER LIMB OF ONE AT LEAST OF THE UPPER LIMBS OF HIS BODY THROUGH THE INTERMEDIARY STICK. THE CONICAL SHAPE TOWARDS THE ENDS OF THE BATONI ALLOWS BETTER CONTROL OF THE INSTRUMENT AND ITS PREHENSION DURING THE EXERCISES WHICH TEND TO THE SLIDING OF THE HANDS BY RESISTANCE TO THIS SLIP.

Description

I the present invention relates to an autonomous gymnastics stick for

body softening.

  In the field of current sports knowledge, the practice of certain exercises which make it possible to acquire and improve the flexibility and the increase of the general muscular tone necessitates the intervention

a third.

  However, there are devices that replace this third but require one or more attachment points that limit the

possibilities of use.

  The apparatus according to the invention overcomes this disadvantage.

  Its shape is characterized by two straight trunks connected by a

  cylinder, the bases of the trunks of cne forming the extremities of a stick.

  At one end of this stick is attached a strap closed on itself to form a loop in which the user can post his foot I5 thus making a lower limb of at least one of the upper limbs of his body through stick. The conical shape towards the ends of this stick allows a better control of the instrument and its grip during exercises that tend to slip

  hands towards the extremities by resistance to sliding.

  According to a preferred variant the baton can be made in three parts - two symmetrical parts screwing into each other thus offering the user the possibility of less space for transport and storage - a cylindrical central portion male Female

  screwing in the two symmetrical parts thus allowing a possible 25 ral] ementation of the stick if the user desires.

  Figure I shows the apparatus according to the invention.

  Figure 2 shows, in partial section, a variant of this device.

  Figure 3 shows, in partial section, another variant of this device.

  The apparatus shown in FIG. 1, consisting of a single piece, comprises three straight truncated cones (Ia-Ib) connected by a cylinder (1a), the bases of the truncated cones forming the ends of a stick ( I) having dimensions of the order of 1,400 millimeters for the length, 200 millimeters for the central cylindrical section (4a), 600 millimeters for each truncated cone (Ia-Ib) with a diameter of 20 millimeters for the section central (4a), 20 millimeters from the truncated cones (Ia-Ib) and 30 millimeters at their ends, from a belt (2) with a length of 50 millimeters and a width of 10 millimeters threaded into one of the ends of the stick (I) by an orifice (3) having a diameter of 10 millimeters, and closed on itself for

constitute a loop.

  The stick (5) shown in FIG. 2, consisting of two symmetrical parts, comprises a female part (Ia-4c) formed of a cylindrical part (4c) with a length of IOC millimeters and a truncated cone ( Ia) with a length of 600 millimeters. A male portion (Ib-4b) formed of a cylindrical portion (4b) and a truncated cone (Ib) the orifice in which is threaded the belt can be at any end of the part

  female (Ia-hc) or the rattle part (Ib-4b).

  The stick (6) shown in FIG. 3 consists of the same two symmetrical parts as FIG. 2 with a cylindrical central portion I0 male-female (4d) serving as an extension and whose dimensions are 20 millimeters in diameter, the length being vary from 200 millimeters to 4OC (millimeters depending on the total length of the stick (6) desired in relation to

to the size of the user.

  The apparatus according to the invention is intended for any public able to practice gymnastics.

  * XL:, 'S x Fi' Pi rr PLOI Facial lift of the right ja-be

  In the upright position the user grasps his stand-alone gymnastics stick with his two rains vertically with the strap down and places his right foot in this strap. With both hands and gradually the user simultaneously pulls upward and backward of the stick thus causing the facial elevation of the right leg.

  Posterior elevation of the left leg

  In the upright position the user grasps his autonone gymnastics stick with his two dwarves vertically with the strap down and places his left foot in this strap. The user then moves his stick in his back still vertically by bending the left leg and performing a half rotation of the arms stretched back and to the left. With both hands and gradually the user simultaneously pulls upwards and forwards keeping the arms tight and causing the posterior rise of his left leg.
