Portable exercise equipment

Abstract

Provided herein are exemplary embodiments including a portable exercise device comprising a lower housing, a circular spring within the lower housing, a circular spool covering the circular spring, a cord wrapped around the circular spool, the cord extending outside of the lower housing, a roller within the lower housing, the roller guiding the cord extending outside of the lower housing and a swivel mount connected to an exterior of the lower housing.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A portable exercise device comprising:
 a lower housing;   a circular spring within the lower housing;   a circular spool covering the circular spring;   a cord wrapped around the circular spool, the cord extending outside of the lower housing;   a roller within the lower housing, the roller guiding the cord extending outside of the lower housing; and   a swivel mount connected to an exterior of the lower housing.   
     
     
         2 . The portable exercise device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an upper housing configured to match and mate with the lower housing and forming an enclosure.   
     
     
         3 . The portable exercise device of  claim 2 , further comprising an eyelet inserted between the upper and the lower housing, the eyelet configured for the cord extending outside of the upper and lower housing. 
     
     
         4 . The portable exercise device of  claim 3 , further comprising a housing mounting screw extending through the lower housing and through the roller for connecting the upper housing to the lower housing. 
     
     
         5 . The portable exercise device of  claim 4 , further comprising a strap clip connected to an exterior of the swivel mount. 
     
     
         6 . The portable exercise device of  claim 5 , further comprising a first cuff connected to the strap clip. 
     
     
         7 . The portable exercise device of  claim 6 , further comprising a second cuff connected to an end of the cord extending outside of the lower housing. 
     
     
         8 . The portable exercise device of  claim 7 , wherein the circular spring exerts a constant and even force outward against the circular spool. 
     
     
         9 . The portable exercise device of  claim 8 , wherein movement of the second cuff connected to the end of the cord extending outside of the lower housing occurs with a constant and even force. 
     
     
         10 . The portable exercise device of  claim 9 , wherein the first cuff connected to the strap clip remains in a fixed position. 
     
     
         11 . The portable exercise device of  claim 10 , wherein the swivel mount or other means connected to the exterior of the lower housing remains in a fixed position and provides for rotation of a unit comprising the:
 lower housing;   circular spring within the lower housing;   circular spool covering the circular spring;   cord wrapped around the circular spool; and   roller within the lower housing, with the movement of the second cuff connected to the end of the cord extending outside of the lower housing.   
     
     
         12 . The portable exercise device of  claim 11 , wherein the movement of the second cuff causes a sound. 
     
     
         13 . The portable exercise device of  claim 12 , wherein the sound is caused by the circular spool. 
     
     
         14 . The portable exercise device of  claim 13 , wherein the sound functions as a feedback mechanism to a user. 
     
     
         15 . The portable exercise device of  claim 14 , wherein the entire cord has a length between approximately five feet to eight feet, and ideally between six feet and seven feet.
