A therapeutic exercise device mounted on a floor base having a bicycle type seat, hand cranks and foot pedals. The foot pedals turn a lower rotatable shaft equipped with a pair of identical sprockets. Each hand crank turns a rotatably interconnected portion of a split upper shaft, each of said split shaft portions equipped with a sprocket. The sprocket on one split shaft portion is slightly larger than a lower shaft sprocket, and the sprocket on the other split shaft portion is slightly smaller than a lower shaft sprocket. A pair of drive chains interconnect the upper and lower sprockets.

Therapeutic exercise device

The present invention relates to apparatus for edging reinforced elastomeric fabric and a preferred method for the operation thereof. One embodiment of apparatus includes a frame, a table for support of the elastomeric fabric, at least one extruder assembly adjacent the table for the application of a suitable elastomeric material directly onto an edge of the elastomeric fabric and means for moving the elastomeric fabric over the table. In an alternate embodiment, the apparatus includes a frame, means for support of the elastomeric fabric and at least one extruder assembly adjacent the means for support for the application of a suitable elastomeric material directly onto an edge of the elastomeric fabric. The preferred method includes the steps of passing the elastomeric fabric over the means for support, extruding the elastomeric material through the head and imparting a first edge therein compatible with an edge of the elastomeric fabric and joining the extruded material to an edge of the elastomeric fabric by forcing the material into substantially all of the exposed surfaces thereof.
