Unit of a flection exerciser

USPTO Application #: 20060276309
Title: Unit of a flection exerciser
Abstract: A unit of a flection exerciser is made of resilient and durable plastic material in one-piece. Two ends of the flection exerciser are two enlarged grip portions and has an extension portion connected the two ends. The two grip portions have a pin joint and a box joint respectively, wherein each joint is a cylindrical body with two annular flanges at two ends and a slot longitudinally in the cylindrical body. The pin joint has an insertion formed at a distal surface thereon and the box joint has a corresponding insertion hole defined at a distal end thereon. By having the pin joint and the box joint, the unit conveniently connects with other same units to elongate or loop to perform the flection exerciser in various types. (end of abstract)

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The present invention relates to a unit of a flection exerciser, and more particularly to a unit that combines with a plurality of same units to compose a flection exerciser in various types in an easy way.

[0003] 2. Description of Related Art

[0004] More and more people pay great attention on keeping figure fit and physical conditions well. Therefore, various small size exercisers are well developed in the market of exercise equipment. Particularly, flection exercisers are nice choices for exercise because they are light and small to be carried conveniently and selectively used to train partial muscles at chests, shoulders, arms, or backs.

[0005] A conventional one of the flection exerciser is integrally made of soft resilient material with durable property and resilient. Two ends of the flection exerciser are enlarged grip portions suitable for holding in hands. An extension rod extends between the two ends integrally and enables to be bent or swirled by its resilient capability. By having the above structure, the grip portions are held by hands and stretched for exercising.

[0006] However, the conventional flection exerciser has the following drawbacks:

[0007] 1. The conventional flection exerciser has a stationary length and can not combine with others alike so that the conventional flection exerciser is limited in usage functions and poor in utility.

[0008] 2. The conventional flection exerciser has a stationary flexibility and can not be connected with others alike to perform a looped one and not to change its flexibility so that usage efficiency of the conventional flection exerciser is poor.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0009] A main objective of the present invention is to provide a unit of a flection exerciser that enables to conveniently connect to at least one same unit to perform the flection exerciser in various types. Disassembly of the flection exerciser is also rapid and easy.

[0010] Another main objective of the present invention is to provide a flection exerciser that enables to conveniently connect to at least one same unit to perform a loop flection exerciser or to adjust its flexibility.

[0011] To achieve the foregoing objectives, the unit of the flection exerciser comprises:

[0012] two enlarged grip portions and an extension portion connected between the two enlarged grip portions to compose an one-piece body made of resilient and durable plastic material;

[0013] a pin joint embedded in one enlarged grip portion; and

[0014] a box joint embedded in the other enlarged grip portion and corresponding to the pin joint.

[0015] By combining the pin joint and box joint, units are selectively and conveniently connected together to perform an elongated or looped flection exerciser in various types.

[0016] Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
