an internal locking pin having a corresponding annular protrusion located at an intermediate position along a length thereof; and,
an external locking knob;
wherein said locking pin engages said hub post thereby allowing said handle assembly to selectively rotate as well as lock at a fixed angle;
wherein said internal locking pin incrementally and linearly engages said locking housing; and,
wherein said protrusion is selectively engaged with one of said first and second detents within said locking housing.
13. A method of utilizing an attachable exercise device for assisting a user to perform various aquatic-based exercise movements and workouts in a body of water, said method comprising the steps of:
providing a stationary base assembly, further comprising:
a base plate having a closed top surface and an arcuate bottom surface, said bottom surface of said base plate being attached to said suction cup;
a hub post having an annular slot and a plurality of apertures situated within said slot, said hub post protruding perpendicularly upward from said top surface of said base plate;
a suction lever;
a suction rod attached to said suction lever and having a centrally-located offset section; and,
an actuator rod having an end portion permanently affixed to said suction rod and a central portion of said suction cup;
providing a rotating handle assembly including a downwardly extending hub receiver having a hollow structure;
removably attaching said hub receiver to said stationary base;
mounting said suction cup to a wall portion of the body of water just above a water surface thereof; and,
freely rotating said handle assembly 360 degrees relative to said base assembly.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
