ABSTRACT:
A new and improved motorized jump rope apparatus includes a first support assembly which includes a first end portion adapted to be supported by a ground surface. A battery-powered motor assembly is connected to the first support assembly, and a first jump rope assembly is connected to the battery-powered motor assembly at its rotational axis. The first end portion of the first support assembly may include a threaded portion adapted to screw into a ground surface. The first jump rope assembly includes a first mid-portion connected to the battery-powered motor assembly at the rotational axis of the battery-powered motor assembly. Two free end portions of the first jump rope assembly may be displaced a predetermined distance from the rotational axis. In this respect, the first jump rope assembly is C-shaped. The first jump rope assembly may include a second mid-portion located along the rotational axis. In this configuration, the first jump rope assembly may be rectangle shaped or circle shaped. A second support assembly is similar in structure to the first support assembly and also includes a threaded portion adapted to screw into a ground surface. The second support assembly may further include an output drive assembly which is connected to the jump-rope-receiving portion. A second jump rope assembly and a third support assembly added to the second support assembly and the first jump rope assembly permit two jumpers to jump simultaneously.
