An arm wrestling apparatus (10) includes a base (12) with a telescoping arm (20) pivoted about pivoting brackets (16) and (18). A resilient band (50) is disposed between a stud (48) and a stud (46). The stud (46) is mounted on a reinforcing member (42) that is oriented at an essentially 45.degree. angle with respect to the base (12). Rotation of the telescoping arm (20) stretches the resilient band (50) and directs the force primarily along the longitudinal axis of the support member (42). An additional reinforcing member (40) is disposed at an essentially right angle with respect to the reinforcing member (42). A stud (44) is disposed thereon such that the resilient band (50) can be disposed thereon to reverse the rotation thereof. A limiting pin (32) is disposed on the brackets (16) and (18) to limit rotation to essentially 90.degree..

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention disclosed and claimed herein comprises an arm wrestling apparatus which includes a base with a pivoting arm pivoted at one end thereto.
A resilient band is disposed at one point on the pivoting arm and at another point on a reinforcing member.
The reinforcing member is disposed in a plane at right angles to the base with the second point disposed thereon along the longitudinal axis thereof.
Pivoting of the pivoting arm results in an increasing force between the first and second point with the primary force vector directed along the longitudinal axis of the force member.
A second reinforcing member is attached to the first member at an essentially right angle thereto for reinforcing the force member against force vectors directed off axis to the first member.
In yet another embodiment of the present invention, the pivoting arm is telescoping to provide for variable height adjustment.
A limiting pin is disposed adjacent the pivoting point of the pivoting arm to limit the pivoting freedom to essentially 90.
degree.
