Athlete Positioner For Increasing Swing Speed And Strength
US Patent:
7374520, May 20, 2008
Filed:
Oct 20, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/969707
Inventors:
Paul A. Licari - Boxborough MA, US
International Classification:
A63B 26/00
US Classification:
482144, 482145
Abstract:
An exercise method and apparatus means for increasing swing speed and swing strength of sporting and self defense implements, by supporting an athlete, while swinging the implements, in a range of angles that take advantage of the direct downward acceleration due to gravity. Comprised of a rigid human support, and a stationary base of sufficient height, with the means of securing the angle with respect to the gravitational acceleration, the athlete swings an implement just as he would standing vertical, in an attitude off vertical to make the most of increasing forces on the implement being swung.

Assignee:
Intuitive Surgical, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
A61B 19/00
US Classification:
606130
Abstract:
An apparatus includes two clamp assemblies on opposing sides of an operating table. A cross bar is attached to the assemblies and extends across a lowered leg section of the table. A pivot joint is coupled to the cross bar, a first linkage couples the pivot joint to a first ball joint, a second linkage couples the first ball joint to a second ball joint, and a medical device is coupled to the second ball joint through an adapter. Each joint has a spring mechanism resisting its movement and a hydraulic cylinder to allow its movement. Depression of a foot pedal actuates all hydraulic cylinders so that an operator may position the medical device by moving the pivot joint and attached first linkage rotationally about and directionally along the cross bar, the second linkage rotationally about the first ball joint, and the medical device rotationally about the second ball joint.
