Abstract
A hand grip for use in the self-exercise of hand, wrist and forearm muscles. A pair of pivot elements are mounted about a common pin for pivotal back and forth movement so that the head ends of the elements move together and apart. A force resistance elastomeric member having an interior cavity is releasably mounted on the head ends. Forces applied by the user in repetitively squeezing handles together cause the head ends to move apart against the yieldable resistance of the member. The member's elastic memory causes the elements to pivot back as the user releases his or her grip. A slot in the elastomeric member through which the head ends are mounted enables easy interchange between members of different elastic strengths to provide for a wide range of force resistances.
