Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims RELATED U.S. APPLICATIONS [0001] Not applicable. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not applicable. REFERENCE TO MICROFICHE APPENDIX [0003] Not applicable. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0004] The present invention relates generally to a magnetic counter for small sports equipment, and more particularly to sports equipment that counts the number of exercises. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0005] Regular sports equipment is widely used among modern people, and well known sports equipment, such as a hand gripper and stepper, have resistance components that include relative displacement, wherein the resistance component makes the user exert force repeatedly and causes relative displacement. Common sports equipment seen in the market has a counter placed on the resistance component to provide the user with numeral data, preventing over-exercise and sports injuries. [0006] A conventional counter is attached to sports equipment 10a, as shown in FIG. 1. The sports equipment 10a comprises a first part 11a, a second part 12a, a permanent magnetic unit 21a placed inside the first part 11a, and a magnetic component 33a placed inside the second part 12a and corresponding with the permanent magnetic unit 21a. The magnetic component 33a is connected to a counter display 31a through a wire a. The counter display 31a is placed on the location that is a distance away from the magnetic component 33a, so that the wire a extends to and connects to another resistance component. The reset unit 32a is placed at a location that is a distance away from the counter display 31a to make the wire a wrap around and connect other components. [0007] This conventional structure has the following problems in actual application. [0008] 1. The wire a is placed at the location where this sports equipment 10a moves. After a period, the wires rubs against other component because the sports equipment 10a is not used properly, which makes the wire a create shortage, and which damages the counter display 31a, magnetic component 33a and reset unit 32a. [0009] 2. The wire a connected to the magnetic component 33a must go through the second part 12a. Further to the relative location for the counter display 31a, the wire a for the counter display 31a must be connected to a corresponding location and be connected to the reset unit 32a for purposes of connection. This production method is not only too complicated but not cost effective, which does not meet the demand of the industry. [0010] 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 the efficacy. [0011] 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 [0012] The improved the fact of the present invention is described herein. [0013] 1. It is mainly by placing a permanent magnetic module 20 inside the hollow space 17 in the first part 11. The permanent magnetic module 20 includes a permanent magnetic unit 21. A magnetic counter 30 is placed inside the hollow space 17 16 in the second part 12. The magnetic counter 30 includes a magnetic component 33, counter display 31 and a reset unit 32 all in one-piece. The advantage of the present invention is that two corresponding ends of the sports equipment can be placed inside the permanent magnetic module 20 and the magnetic counter. By improving the wire in the counter of the conventional sports equipment mentioned in the "prior art", other components are connected by resistance component. Thus, the first part 11 a and the second part 12a creates number by relative displacement; except the wire a is placed at the location where this sports equipment 10a moves. After a period, the wires rubs against the other component because the sports equipment 10a is not used properly, which makes the wire a create shortage, and damages the counter display 31a, magnetic component 33a and reset unit 32a. Therefore, without the wrapping of the wire, it can be made more convenient and practical. [0014] 2. A permanent magnetic module 20 is placed inside the first part 11 and the second part 12 of the sports equipment of the present invention. Its corresponding magnetic counter 30 is another new invention. By improving the wire a connected to the magnetic component 33a mentioned in the "prior art", which must go through the second part 12a, and further to the relative location for the counter display 31a, the wire a for the counter display 31a must be connected to a corresponding location, and be connected to the reset unit 32a for purposes of connection. This production method is not only too complicated but not cost effective, which creates burden in the industry and does not meet the demand of the industry to be convenient and cost effective. [0015] 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. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWINGS [0016] FIG. 1 shows a side elevation view of the counter of conventional sports equipment. [0017] FIG. 2 shows an assembled perspective view of the magnetic counter of the small sports equipment of the present invention. Continue reading about Magnetic counter for small sports equipment...
