Exercise Handle for Fully Looped Elastic Resistance Bands

Abstract

An exercise handle to be used with fully looped elastic resistance bands comprising of the following features: an open concave channel spanning the length of a cylindrical form with two ends that allows for easy and intuitively attaching/removing the form from the band, a generally ergonomic form between the two ends of said cylindrical form, and additional features on either end of the form to protect the users hands from the band while gripping and performing exercises with the handle.

1 . An ergonomic exercise handle to be used with fully looped elastic bands, the handle comprising:
 Element A) An elongated cylindrical form with a first end and a second end, with an open channel spanning from the first end to the second end.   Element B) Additional and/or removed mass on the exterior of said elongated cylindrical form between the first and second ends that improve ergonomics   Element C) Additional mass on the first and/or second ends of said elongated cylindrical form with purpose to keep users hands safe.   
     
     
         2 . The handle of  claim 1  further comprising: a textured and/or overmolded exterior to exist between the first end and second end of said elongated cylindrical form to aid in grip. 
     
     
         3 . The handle of  claim 1  further comprising: a separate elongated tube-like sheath with a central cavity that can wrap around said elongated cylindrical form between the first and second end. Said sheath can freely rotate about the same centerline of the said elongated cylindrical form. This so that a person can grip the sheath and allow for the handle of  claim 1  to rotate freely within the said elongated tube-like sheath. 
     
     
         4 . The handle of  claim 1  further comprising of a mechanism to close said channel to lock the fully looped elastic band into the cavity of the channel, thus turning the said elongated cylindrical form into an elongated tube-like form with a central cavity spanning from the first end to the second end.
