ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a pair of gripping handles between which a planar elastic band is supported. The coupling between each handle and the elastic band prevents inadvertent disengagement of the handle from the end of the elastic band and provides means for adjusting the distance between the handles and the force exerted. The end of the elastic band is directly supported by the end flange of the handle. A suspension clip having a bracing member extending parallel to the end flange is adapted to be removably disposed upon the end flange of the handle. A locking link having a central slot is adapted to be disposed adjacent the end flange in juxtaposition to the suspension clip. The end of the elastic band is threaded through the central slot of the locking link disposed about the bracing member of the suspension clip and threaded back through the central slot of the locking link. The force exerted by the elastic band upon the suspension clip, locking link and end flange prevent inadvertent movement of the elastic and relative to the handle.
