Jym Pitch Trainer

Abstract

A method for training and exercising athletes, using an apparatus comprising a stretchable elastomer tube having a molded baseball and snap hook collar mounted thereon opposed ends. An exercise device is provided for developing, rehabilitating, strengthening the arm and shoulder muscles participated with the throwing motion.

1 . An exercise apparatus comprises a elongated, flexible, and stretchable cylindrical elastomer tubing, ball sphere and plastic snap hook collar connections respectively attached to opposite end sections of said tubing, one of said connections integrally connected to a molded ball, and a snap hook collar integrally attached to the opposite end of said elastomer tubing, said plastic snap hook having release able means of attachment, whereby said tubing yields controllable resistance tension from circum center internal and circum external bonded tube walls, providing development, rehabilitation, strengthening of the hand, wrist, arm and shoulder muscles.  
     
     
         2 . A rehabilitation and strengthening trainer comprising a foam material core and outer raised stitched cover closed cell layer injection molded ball with integral means for attachment to a length of elastomer resistance tubing with said injection mold means for attachment to both ball and thermoplastic snap hook collar, whereby said trainer comprising a means for synergistic incorporation of nerves, tendons, ligaments and muscles through repetitive arm exercise mechanics.  
     
     
         3 . A method for a versatile trainer comprising a injection molded ball with a foam rubber core and outer layer attached to a length of resistance elastomer tubing further connected to a snap hook, said trainer providing a means for athletic exercise drills and injury rehabilitation, whereby providing said components are manufactured with an elastomer material, providing said tubing, providing a length made of one or more materials and providing a spherical ball proximal end, a snap hook distal end, providing said distal end portion having a longitudinal axis, and an outside surface, providing the distal portion of said tubing having a molded collar having an outside surface forming a snap hook shape and providing proximal and distal ends, providing the said molded collar is made of a thermoplastic or polymeric injection material molding disposed on the distal end of the tubing, whereby, providing a surrounding of the said provided tubing portion, and extending proximal and distal of the distal end of the said tubing to form an elastomer tubing and molded snap hook collar assembly.
