ABSTRACT:
A new and improved arm wrestling apparatus includes a table assembly and a simulated arm assembly supported by the table assembly. The simulated arm assembly includes a plurality of receiver assemblies for receiving respective incremental counterforce resistance elements. The receiver assemblies are arrayed longitudinally beside and symmetrically astride a longitudinal axis. An arm motion limit assembly is supported by the table assembly for limiting motion of the simulated arm assembly. A limit signaling assembly is supported by the table assembly for signaling when the simulated arm assembly reaches a limit of arm motion. The limit signaling assembly includes a force-receiving portion adapted to receive force exerted by an incremental counterforce resistance element when the simulated arm assembly reaches the arm motion limit assembly. A plurality of incremental counterforce resistance elements of different lengths are provided and are adapted to be positioned one-at-a-time between the receiver assemblies on the simulated arm assembly and the force-receiving portion of the limit signaling assembly. The incremental counterforce resistance elements provide for a selection of increments in counterforce resistance to be overcome by a person who moves the simulated arm assembly to the arm motion limit assembly. An indicator assembly, responsive to the limit signaling assembly, is provided for indicating when the simulated arm assembly reaches a limit of arm motion. A rod-force receiving assembly is located between an end of a selected incremental counterforce resistance element and the limit signaling assembly.
