Fitness ring

USPTO Application #: 20080176726
Title: Fitness ring
Abstract: The present invention is a fitness ring having a loop capsule, which has a circular aeration space inside. The ring has an outside circular surface and a central through-portion. The sectional diameter of the circular aeration space is larger than the diameter of the through-portion. The circular aeration space contains a payload inside, and a predetermined area of the circular surface has projecting portions spaced at intervals. The addition of the payload gives the loop capsule proper weight and stability, and the fitness ring is more stable and safe while lying flat. The weight of the payload can allow users to experience more resistance and gravity when swinging, rolling, and moving the fitness ball ring. The addition of projecting portions can form massage areas, so that when using the fitness ring, users can also achieve the benefit of massage. (end of abstract)

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates generally to a fitness ball, and more particularly to a type of fitness ball with a ring structure.

2. Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and 37 CFR 1.98

The conventional fitness ball has a ball-shape and is easy to roll; thus, users are likely to fall when they lean on the ball. As such, it is not suitable for beginners and those with a poor sense of balance.

The inventor of the present invention invented an improved fitness ball, disclosed in Taiwan Patent Application No. 095205718, entitled “Structure of Hoop Fitness Ball”, which comprises a loop capsule, which has a circular aeration space inside. The outside of the loop capsule has a circular surface and a central through-portion. The sectional diameter of the circular aeration space is greater than that of the central through-portion. Therefore, this improved design can provide stable support and safety in use, while maintaining the hoop shape for flexible movement.

Thus, to overcome the aforementioned problems of the prior art, it would be an advancement in the art to provide an improved structure that can significantly improve efficacy.

To this end, the inventor has provided the present invention of practicability after deliberate design and evaluation based on years of experience in the production, development and design of related products.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The enhanced efficacy of the present invention includes the present invention with a payload 20 placed inside the circular aeration space 12. The addition of the payload 20 gives the loop capsule 11 proper weight and stability, and the fitness ring 10 can be more stable and safe while lying flat. The weight of the payload can allow users to experience more resistance and gravity when swinging, rolling, and moving the fitness ring, thus, helping to exercise muscles.

The addition of projecting portions 30 on the circular surface 13 of the loop capsule 11 are spaced at intervals for massage purposes. When using the fitness ring 10, users can also achieve the benefit of massaging the body.

Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
