Patent ID: 8852031

Claim:
A wearable training harness, comprising: a looped belt adapted to be worn about a waist of a wearer; an upwardly extending suspender including a first portion extending from a rear midpoint of said belt, a pair of second portions branching from said first portion and adapted to extend over shoulder locations of the wearer, said second portions connecting at opposite lower ends to forward locations of said belt; and a pair of elongate linkages pivotally secured to a rigid planar member supported at a location associated with said first suspender portion, such that said rigid planar member is adapted to overlay a mid-location of the wearer's back, said elongated linkages each further including a first linkage member pivotally secured at a first end to said rigid planar member, second linkage members telescoping relative to said first linkage members, with extending ends of said second linkage members being pivotally secured to each of a pair of circular arm bands adapted to be worn about the arms of the wearer so that said elongate linkages are both pivotal and telescoping in response to movement of the wearer's arms and in order to define a controlled range of permitted motion to train against the commitment of reach-in fouls.
