Abstract

The present invention relates to an exercise device. The device has a multiplicity of uses. It may be used to test or to strengthen muscles. It may be used to enable the user to develop or improve sexual skills. The device consists of an elongated flexible tube member connected in a fluid-tight manner to a pressure indicating means. Pressure exerted on the tube member is reflected on the pressure indicating means.

Claims

1. An exercise device comprising in a single unit

a. an elongated tube member simulating a tumescent penis,

b. said tube member having a substantially circular outer cross-section, and having one rounded and enclosed and one open end,

c. a pressure indicating means positioned contiguous to, and in fluid tight relation to said open end of said tube member, forming a closed gas-containing system,

d. said pressure indicating means reflecting changes in pressure of said closed system.

2. The device of claim 1 where the tube member has a plurality of elongated rib members internally positioned within said tube.

3. The device of claim 2 wherein the rib members are formed by increased thickness in the side wall of said tube member.

4. The device of claim 1 wherein the pressure indicating means includes a scale.

5. The device of claim 1 wherein the pressure indicating means is positioned at an angle from the said tube member.

6. The device of claim 1 wherein the pressure indicating means is connected and in a sealed relation, to a housing member, and said housing member is connected and in a sealed relation, to said tube member.

7. The device of claim 1 wherein the gas is air.

8. The device of claim 1 wherein the tube member is fabricated of rubber.

9. The device of claim 1 wherein the side of said tube member is marked to indicate areas for pressure to be applied.
