Patent

CA 2181814

A personal exercise and strength building hoop (10) is disclosed. The hoop (10) has two handles (20) attached at diametrically opposing positions, and are used for grasping the device. The hoop (10) includes a central core (30) made of a flexible, resilient rod material, and further includes a compliant foam outer covering (40) suitable for grasping. The covering (40) is preferably circular in cross section, while the core (30) is preferably rectangular in cross section. The hoop (10) has a spring constant in diametric compression of approximately 0.4 pounds to 1.6 pounds per inch, and a spring constant in diametric expansion of approximately 1.3 pounds to 3.7 pounds per inch. A person's muscle groups may be exercised over a range of motion of approximately 24 inches in compression and 10 inches in expansion. An auxiliary tensioning means (110) may be removably attached between the handles (20), or at points between the handles (20), for increasing the expansion and compression spring constants, respectively.

La présente invention concerne un cerceau (10) de musculation et d'exercice personnel. En des points diamétralement opposés du cerceau (10) sont fixées deux poignées (20) servant à le saisir. Le cerceau (10) comprend une âme (30) en matériau sous forme de tige résilient et flexible. La gaine (40) présente de préférence une section transversale circulaire et l'âme (30) une section transversale rectangulaire. Le cerceau (10) est doté d'un ressort dont la valeur constante de compression diamétrale est comprise entre approximativement 0,4 et 1,6 livres/pouce, et d'un ressort dont la valeur constante d'expansion diamétrale est comprise entre approximativement 1,3 et 3,7 livres/pouce. Un individu peut exercer des groupes de muscles par des mouvements sur une longueur d'environ 24 pouces en compression et 10 pouces en expansion. On peut fixer entre les poignées (20) ou en des points situés entre celles-ci, de manière amovible, un moyen de tension auxiliaire (110) pour accroître respectivement les valeurs constantes du ressort d'expansion et du ressort de compression.
