ABSTRACT:
A wrist exercizing device comprises a pair of generally coaxial handles for grasping in the hands and turning, and a reel mounted therebetween. The reel has a reel surface that is eccentric with respect to the axis of rotation of the handles. A cord is wrapped round the reel surface and supports a weight. Rotation of the handles to raise or lower the weight requires a periodically varying effort. Suitably the reel surface has an axis of rotational symmetry that is offset from the axis of rotation of the handles to provide the eccentricity. The degree of offset may be varied so as to vary the ratio of maximum to minimum effort required to raise the load.
