Claims
- 1. An exercising device comprising an elongated circularly cylindrical member of a convenient diameter to be gripped by a hand, a longitudinal bore of substantially constant diameter extending from end to end within said elongated member, a freely movable single-piece weighted mass within said bore adapted to be displaceable from end to end therein, and a pair of substantially rigid end walls, each of said end walls being disposed at an end of said bore for impacting by said weighted mass and for emitting an audible sound upon impact shock with said weighted mass, wherein the ratio of the length of said weighted mass to the length of the bore in said elongated member between said end walls is at most 4 to 7 and wherein one of said end walls is formed integral with said elongated member at an end of said elongated member.
- 2. The device of claim 1 wherein the other of said end walls is formed integral with said elongated member at the other end of said elongated member.
- 3. The device of claim 1 wherein each of said end walls is provided with at least one aperture for providing communication between said bore and the ambient.
- 4. The device of claim 1 wherein said end walls are imperforate and said weighted mass has a through bore placing each end of said weighted mass in communication with the other.
- 5. An exercising device comprising an elongated circularly cylindrical member of a convenient diameter to be gripped by a hand, a longitudinal bore of substantially constant diameter extending from end to end within said elongated member, a freely movable single-piece weighted mass within said bore adapted to be displaceable from end to end therein, and a pair of substantially rigid end walls, each of said end walls being disposed at an end of said bore for impacting by said weighted mass and for emitting an audible sound upon impact shock with said weighted mass, wherein the ratio of the length of said weighted mass to the length of the bore in said elongated member between said end walls is at most 4 to 7 and wherein said elongated member is disposed in a grip-like sleeve.
- 6. The device of claim 5 wherein at least one of said end walls is formed integral with said elongated member at an end of said elongated member.
- 7. The device of claim 5 wherein at least one of said end walls is a closure cap fastened at said end of said bore.
- 8. The device of claim 5 wherein each of said end walls is provided with at least one aperture for providing communication between said bore and the ambient.
- 9. The device of claim 5 wherein said end walls are imperforate and said weighted mass has a through bore placing each end of said weighted mass in communication with the other.
- 10. An exercising device comprising an elongated circularly cylindrical member of a convenient diameter to be gripped by a hand, a longitudinal bore of substantially constant diameter extending from end to end within said elongated member, a freely movable single-piece weighted mass within said bore adapted to be displaceable from end to end therein, and a pair of substantially rigid end walls, each of said end walls being disposed at an end of said bore for impacting by said weighted mass and for emitting an audible sound upon impact shock with said weighted mass, wherein the ratio of the length of said weighted mass to the length of the bore in said elongated member between said end walls is at most 4 to 7 and wherein said end wall is integrally formed by swaging the end of said elongated member for reducing the end of said bore to a diameter less than the diameter of said weighted mass.
- 11. The device of claim 10 wherein the other of said end walls is a closure cap fastened at said end of said bore.
- 12. The device of claim 10 wherein each of said end walls is provided with at least one aperture for providing communication between said bore and the ambient.
- 13. The device of claim 10 wherein said end walls are imperforate and said weighted mass has a through bore placing each end of said weighted mass in communication with the other.
- 14. The device of claim 10 wherein said elongated member is disposed in a grip-like sleeve.
- 15. An exercising device comprising an elongated circularly cylindrical member of a convenient diameter to be gripped by a hand, a longitudinal bore of substantially constant diameter extending from end to end within said elongated member, a freely movable single-piece weighted mass within said bore adapted to be displaceable from end to end therein, and a pair of substantially rigid end walls, each of said end walls being disposed at an end of said bore for impacting by said weighted mass and for emitting an audible sound upon impact shock with said weighted mass, wherein the ratio of the length of said weighted mass to the length of the bore in said elongated member between said end walls is at most 4 to 7 and wherein said elongated member is in the form of a grip-like sleeve.
- 16. The device of claim 15 wherein at least one of said end walls is formed integral with said elongated member at an end of said elongated member.
- 17. The device of claim 15 wherein at least one of said end walls is a closure cap fastened at said end of said bore.
- 18. The device of claim 15 wherein each of said end walls is provided with at least one aperture for providing communication between said bore and the ambient.
- 19. The device of claim 15 wherein said end walls are imperforate and said weighted mass has a through bore placing each end of said weighted mass in communication with the other.
