Stretching mate device for exercising purposes

Abstract

A stretching mate device includes a shaft having two hand grips rotatably secured on the ends for allowing the hand grips to be rotated relative to each other and relative to the shaft. The hands of two persons may solidly or firmly or stably hold and grasp the hand grips for stretching or exercising purposes. The stretching mate device may also be used to conduct weighing exercises as that of the dumbbells. A spring may be secured to the hand grips for recovering the hand grips after the hand grips are rotated relative to each other against the spring.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A stretching mate device comprising: 
 a shaft including two ends, and    two hand grips rotatably secured on said ends of said shaft respectively, for allowing said hand grips to be rotated relative to each other and relative to said shaft.    
     
     
         2 . The stretching mate device according to  claim 1 , wherein said hand grips each includes an inner portion having a wavy surface formed therein for engaging with fingers of users.  
     
     
         3 . The stretching mate device according to  claim 1  further comprising means for recovering said hand grips.  
     
     
         4 . The stretching mate device according to  claim 3 , wherein said recovering means includes a spring having two ends secured to said hand grips respectively for applying a spring biasing force against said hand grips.  
     
     
         5 . The stretching mate device according to  claim 4 , wherein said spring is a coil spring and is engaged on said shaft.  
     
     
         6 . The stretching mate device according to  claim 4  further comprising a sleeve engaged on said spring and said shaft for shielding said spring.
