Inventors: Dolan, John W.;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Pinkham; Richard C.
Assistant Examiner: Browne; William R.
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Feldman; Stephen E., Feldman; Marvin
An arm wrestling device is disclosed comprising a base, a channel mounted to the base, an arm pivotally mounted to and within said channel, and a hand grip transversely disposed to and attached to said arm and a spring disposed in said channel and mounted at one end to the upper portion of the arm and pivotally mounted at the other end adjacent the base, whereby the user grips and pulls the hand grip causing pivoting of the arm and pivoting and extension of the spring. The spring means is mounted in a retractable cylinder and further comprises an air brake to counter the retraction of the spring in the event of sudden release of the grip by the user. The spring is within a retractably extensible cylinder. The cylinder has an air brake to counter retraction of the spring upon release of the hand grip. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
An arm wrestling device comprising a base, a channel mounted to the base, wherein the channel is sized so as to receive an arm in the pivoting of the arm, and guide the arm therein, the arm pivotally mounted to and within said channel, and a hand grip transversely disposed to and attached to said arm, and spring means disposed in said channel and mounted at one end to the upper portion of the arm and pivotally mounted at the other end adjacent the base, said spring means being mounted in a retractably extensible cylinder, and said cylinder further comprising air brake means, to counter the retraction of the spring upon release of the hand grip, whereby the user grips and pulls the hand grip causing pivoting of the arm and pivoting and extension of the spring means.
2.
The arm wrestling device of claim 1, further comprising means to adjust the position of the hand grip along the arm, so as to change the height of the grip in relation to the base.
3.
The arm wrestling device of claim 1, further comprising a second hand grip disposed on opposite sides of the arm from the first hand grip, and further comprising means to adjust the position of the hand grip along the arm, so as to change the height of the grip in relation to the base.
