ABSTRACT:
A device comprises a support, and at least one flexible substantially cup-shaped element operatively connected to the support. The element includes a base, a rim and a first axis extending from the center of the base to the center of an area enclosed by the rim. It is reversible about an axis perpendicular to said first axis without being removed from the support. It is operable for a first function in a first position and a second function in a reversed position. The reversible cup-like shaped elements are selectively locatable with the support in multiple operational modes with the rim of the flexible and reversible elements directed differently relative to the element. This can be with the rim of the flexible and reversible elements directed substantially away from the support, or with the rim of some of the flexible and reversible elements directed substantially toward the support and the rim of other flexible and reversible elements directed substantially away from the support. The device is usable as a variable reaction exercising device, a door stop, a walking aid, a device for braking and steering a vessel in fluid, and a scooping device.
