Handle capable of detecting human physiological characteristics for exercise apparatus

Abstract

A handle is composed of a left handlebar having a left gripping section, and a right handlebar having a right gripping section. The two gripping sections extend along a longitudinal axle of the handle and are respectively longer than the breath of the user's hand, i.e. the user can hold one of optional positions of the handle. Each of the two gripping sections has at least one contact face extending along the surface thereof. Each of the contact faces is electrically conductive but not in electrical connection with the others. The contact faces are respectively electrically connected to a particular processor of an exercise apparatus, such that the processor can scan the user's human electrical signals, like frequency of potential difference or impedance, and further transform the signals into corresponding human physiological characteristics.

1 . A handle capable of detecting human physiological characteristics and mounted on an exercise apparatus for a user's two hands holding while doing exercise, said exercise apparatus having a processor for converting inputted body electrical signals into human physiological characteristics and a display interface for showing the human physiological characteristics, said handle having a left gripping section for the left hand of the user and a right gripping section for the right hand of the user, said two gripping sections extending along a longitudinal axle of said handle and both being longer than the breadth of the user's hand, each of said gripping sections having at least one contact face extending along a longitudinal axle thereof from a surface thereof to be respectively touched by two hands of the user while the user holds said handle, each of said contact faces being electrically conductive and electrically connected to said processor but not in electrical connection with the others, whereby the user's body electrical signals can be inputted in said processor through the contact faces.  
     
     
         2 . The handle as defined in  claim 1  further comprising a rod-like main body corresponding to each of said gripping sections, said main body being made of an insulating material, said gripping section having a conductive bar embedded on a surface of said main body, said conductive bar being made of a well conductive material extending along said gripping section, a surface of said conductive bar being exposed on the surface of the main body to form said contact face.  
     
     
         3 . The handle as defined in  claim 1  further comprising a rod-like main body corresponding to each of said gripping sections, said main body being made of an insulating material, said gripping section having two conductive bars embedded on a surface of said main body, each of said two conductive bars being made of a well conductive material spaced apart and extending along said gripping section, a surface of each said conductive bar being exposed on the surface of the main body to form said contact face.  
     
     
         4 . The handle as defined in  claim 1  further comprising a rod-like main body corresponding to each of said gripping sections, said main body being made of a well conductive material and having a surface of the main body to form said contact face.  
     
     
         5 . The handle as defined in  claim 1  further comprising a left handlebar and a right handlebar, said two handlebars being spaced apart; said left gripping section is positioned on said left handlebar; said right gripping section is positioned on said right handlebar.  
     
     
         6 . A handle capable of detecting human physiological characteristics and mounted on an exercise apparatus for a user's two hands holding while doing exercise, said exercise apparatus having a processor for converting inputted body electrical signals into human physiological characteristics and a display interface for showing the human physiological characteristics, said handle having a left gripping section for the left hand of the user and a right gripping section for the right hand of the user, said two gripping sections extending along a longitudinal axle of said handle and both being longer than the breadth of the user's hand, each of said gripping sections having at least two electrically conductive bars parallel to each other thereof to be touched by two hands of the user while the user holds said handle, two of said electrically conductive bars being electrically conductive and electrically connected to said processor, whereby the user's body electrical signals can be inputted in said processor through the contact faces.  
     
     
         7 . The handle as defined in  claim 6 , wherein electrically conductive bars are horizontally parallel.  
     
     
         8 . The handle as defined in  claim 6 , wherein electrically conductive bars are vertically parallel.
