Details
Inventors: Miller, Wendy Jo;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Reichard; Lynne A.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Tschida; D. L.

A belt which mounts to the hips and thighs and includes a number of fasteners for selectively attaching one or more training bands. The fasteners are arrayed about the circumference of hip and thigh straps. Varying degrees of resistance to hip rotation are obtained upon selectively positioning appropriate elastic and/or static training bands to the fasteners at the front, sides and rear of the hip strap. The training bands may be supported to stationary objects or handles can be gripped by a training assistant. The assembly finds particular advantage for training softball pitchers and batters, although can be used to condition other dynamic training or therapeutic movements.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Accordingly, it is primary object of the invention to provide a training belt which mounts to the hips and supports a number of static or resilient training straps without rotating about the hips.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a length adjustable hip or body strap which includes a number of fasteners arrayed about the circumference of the hip strap and also includes length adjustable thigh straps which depend from the belt and mount around the thighs.
It is a further object of the invention to provide tubular elastomer training straps having a belt fastener and a handle secured to the strap with ball fittings secured within a bore of the strap.
Various of the foregoing objects, advantages and distinctions of the invention are obtained in a preferred construction which includes a hip strap and about the circumference of which a number triangular rings are fitted.
The rings are secured to looped retainers that are sewn to a hip strap.
Mating connecters are fitted to length adjustment straps which are also fastened to the hip straps and which also permit the hip strap to be mounted around the waist or upper body to train or condition other body motions.
Thigh straps are sewn at opposite sides of the waist strap.
Mating fasteners are secured to the thigh straps to appropriately adjust the strap length to capture the thighs.
Additional rings can be fitted to the thigh straps.
The thigh straps prevent rotation of the hip strap about the hips upon pulling at one or more training straps that are fastened to the hip strap.
A resilient training strap is constructed of a length of rubber tubing and supports a clip fastener at one end that mounts to the rings and a handle at the opposite end.
Ball shaped stoppers mount within the bore of the tubing to secure the clip fastener and handle to the training strap.
Still other objects, advantages, and distinctions of the invention are more apparent from the following description with respect to the appended drawings
