Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of products used in daily training, fitness, etc., and in particular to a soft material weighted device that can improve training comfort and extend service life. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, weighted equipment is often used in daily training and fitness programs to enhance physical exercise. Weighted equipment can be used by strapping it to body parts (generally for small-sized weighted equipment) or by lifting it directly to the hands, feet, waist, etc. (generally for large-sized and heavy weighted equipment). However, traditional weighted equipment is made of hard materials, such as iron. There are many problems in its use, as follows: (1) Iron is a hard material. Although it has a good load-bearing effect, when strapped to the body for load-bearing, there are problems with insufficient training comfort and poor experience, and it is easy to wear out the skin; even if it is wrapped in a bag or protective bag, it still feels hard and the experience is still insufficient. (2) Since metal weights are made of hard materials, the protective bag will generate a lot of friction with the metal weights during long-term use. After a long time, the protective bag will become thinner due to the long friction time, and the metal weights will basically be in direct contact with the body. This will result in the above-mentioned drawbacks of skin abrasion or insufficient training comfort. In severe cases, the protective bag will be worn through and become unusable, requiring replacement. (3) When the metal weights are large in size and specifications, they are generally not equipped with protective bags. Trainees directly contact the weights with their hands or feet. In addition to causing the above-mentioned problem of easy skin abrasion, there is also a risk of accidental injury when the weights are accidentally dropped, posing a very high safety risk.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the structure of existing load cell products in order to reduce safety risks and improve user comfort. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a soft weight for training. This soft weight is made of a soft body, preferably composed of silicone and metal materials. The silicone material serves as the outer protective layer, while the metal material adds weight. The silicone and metal materials can be mixed, multi-layered, or have an inner and outer wrapping structure, offering various combinations. This design ensures that the outer surface of the entire soft weight is soft, while the inner part contains the weight-bearing material. While maintaining the effectiveness and quality of the weight-bearing effect, it improves the adaptability and quality of weight training, and ensures that the skin does not wear down during long-term contact with the soft material. Furthermore, it has low manufacturing costs, and the wrapping material used with the weight will not easily tear due to friction.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a soft weight for training, including a soft weight body, a weight protective bag that loads and wraps the soft weight body, or a vacuum film that is adsorbed and wrapped by vacuuming.
[0006] The soft load-bearing device body is formed by a soft material protective layer and a metal load-bearing layer, metal load-bearing block, or metal load-bearing particles to form an integrated structure.
[0007] The protective packaging for the load-bearing device has one of the following methods at the opening: sewn seal, zipper seal, Velcro fastening, or rope binding.
[0008] Furthermore, the soft material protective layer is a silicone protective layer; the metal load-bearing layer is a metal iron sheet load-bearing layer; the metal load-bearing block is a metal iron load-bearing block; and the metal load-bearing particles are metal iron load-bearing particles.
[0009] Furthermore, the silicone protective layer is the outer layer of the soft load-bearing device body, and the metal sheet load-bearing layer is the inner layer of the soft load-bearing device body and is completely wrapped by the silicone protective layer.
[0010] Alternatively, the metal iron load-bearing blocks are arranged in multiple pieces and placed within a silicone protective layer at uniform intervals, with the silicone protective layer completely enclosing the metal iron load-bearing blocks.
[0011] Alternatively, the silicone protective layer and the metal load-bearing particles may form a uniformly mixed integral structure.
[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a load-bearing belt with multiple independent load-bearing protective bags for loading the soft load-bearing body; the load-bearing belt has a load-bearing belt loading port for movably loading each load-bearing protective bag, and a binding structure on the outside of the load-bearing belt for binding the entire load-bearing belt to the body; the soft load-bearing body is square in shape.
[0013] Furthermore, the binding structure includes a fixing buckle fixed to one end of the outer side of the loader belt, a fixing hook and loop strap fixed to the outer side of the loader belt and arranged in the opposite direction of the fixing buckle, and a movable hook and loop strap extending outward from the end of the fixing hook and loop strap.
[0014] Alternatively, both the soft load-bearing device body and the load-bearing device protective bag are curved sheets, and the side of the load-bearing device protective bag is provided with an elastic handle strap.
[0015] Alternatively, both the soft load cell body and the load cell protective case may be cross-shaped.
[0016] In summary, the soft weighted training device of this invention is made of a soft weighted body, preferably composed of silicone and metal materials. The silicone material serves as the outer protective layer, while the metal material is used for weight addition. The silicone and metal materials can be mixed, multi-layered, or have an inner and outer wrapping structure, offering various combination options. This design ensures that the outer surface of the entire soft weighted body is in soft contact, while the inner part contains the weight-bearing material. While maintaining the effectiveness and quality of the weight-bearing effect, it improves the adaptability and quality of weight training, and also ensures that the long-term contact between the body skin and the soft material does not cause wear. Furthermore, the manufacturing cost is low, and the wrapping material used in the weighted device will not easily wear out due to excessive friction. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Example 1
[0026] The soft weight used for training described in Example 1 is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a flexible load cell body 1 and a protective bag 2 that houses and encloses the flexible load cell body. The flexible load cell basically consists of two main components. The core component is the flexible load cell body, which has a flexible surface and a rigid load-bearing interior. This combination of soft and hard components achieves both soft contact and load-bearing effects. The protective bag provides outer protection. In this example 1, a vacuum film used to enclose the flexible load cell body can be used instead of the protective bag as the outer protective layer. Alternatively, the flexible load cell body can be vacuum-wrapped with a vacuum film before being placed inside the protective bag.
[0027] In this embodiment 1, the soft load-bearing device body is formed by a soft material protective layer 3 and a metal load-bearing layer 4 forming an integral structure. The soft material protective layer is a silicone protective layer, and the metal load-bearing layer is a metal iron sheet load-bearing layer with two pieces. The silicone protective layer is the outer layer of the soft load-bearing device body, and the metal iron sheet load-bearing layer is the inner layer of the soft load-bearing device body and is completely wrapped by the silicone protective layer. The soft material protective layer is made of silicone material, which has the following characteristics: (1) Easy to clean: it can be cleaned by rinsing with water; (2) Long life: silicone material has very stable chemical properties and has a longer life than other materials; (3) Environmentally friendly and non-toxic; (4) Low temperature resistance: the minimum critical temperature of ordinary rubber is -20 degrees to -30 degrees, while silicone rubber still has good elasticity at -60 degrees to -70 degrees; (5) Weather resistance: its physical properties only change slightly under ultraviolet light and other climatic conditions for a long time. Therefore, using silicone to create a soft protective layer not only achieves a soft contact effect with the body, but also greatly improves training comfort. It is also non-toxic to the skin and will not cause allergic reactions. Using a metal sheet as the weight-bearing component provides good load-bearing performance, and because metal is cheaper than other metals, it significantly reduces product costs. The soft protective layer tightly and securely wraps around the entire metal sheet weight-bearing layer.
[0028] In this embodiment 1, as Figure 2 As shown, the metal load-bearing layer can also be made of metal load-bearing blocks 5. These metal load-bearing blocks are made of iron, and six of them are evenly spaced within a silicone protective layer, which completely encloses them. This design with multiple iron load-bearing blocks significantly improves load-bearing capacity and weight, and the dispersed design allows for the production of flexible load-bearing devices of different sizes.
[0029] In this embodiment 1, as Figure 3 As shown, the metal load-bearing layer can also utilize metal load-bearing particles 6, specifically iron metal load-bearing particles. The silicone protective layer and the metal load-bearing particles form a uniformly mixed, integrated structure. When iron metal load-bearing particles are combined with the silicone protective layer, the silicone protective layer can be fully filled with the iron metal load-bearing particles, achieving maximum load-bearing capacity and effect. Furthermore, it can be manufactured and molded regardless of the size or shape of the flexible load-bearing device. Of course, the metal load-bearing layer can also utilize other different metal materials and shapes to achieve excellent load-bearing performance.
[0030] In this embodiment 1, the opening of the bag containing the flexible load-bearing device is sealed with a stitched seal. Alternatively, zipper seals, Velcro fastening, or rope binding can also be used to prevent the flexible load-bearing device from being exposed.
[0031] In this embodiment 1, as Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a weight belt 7, with multiple independent weight protection bags for loading the soft weights themselves; the weight belt has loading ports 8 for movably loading each weight protection bag, and a binding structure on the outside of the weight belt for binding the entire weight belt to the body; the soft weights themselves are square-shaped. That is, after the soft weights are loaded into the independent weight protection bags, each weight protection bag is then loaded into its corresponding loading port on the weight belt, forming a structure where the weight belt can load multiple soft weights. Combined with the binding structure, the entire weight belt can be bound to the arms, thighs, or calves for training and fitness; alternatively, the weight belt can be designed to be of a certain length so that it can be bound to the waist for training.
[0032] In this embodiment 1, as Figure 5As shown, the binding structure includes a fixing buckle 9 fixed to one end of the outer side of the weight belt, and a fixing hook and loop strap 10 fixed to the outer side of the weight belt and arranged in the opposite direction of the fixing buckle. The end of the fixing hook and loop strap extends outwards with a movable hook and loop strap 11. When the weight belt is not in use, the adhesive parts of the movable hook and loop strap face each other and are glued together, forming a folded and stored state. When using the weight belt, pull up the movable hook and loop strap to unfold it outwards, thus removing it from the fixing hook and loop strap. Then, the inner side of the weight belt and the unattached part of the movable hook and loop strap are pressed tightly against the arm, etc., and wrapped around it once. The end of the movable hook and loop strap is inserted from the other end of the fixing buckle and the entire weight belt is pulled tight to bind the arm, etc. Finally, the adhesive parts of the movable hook and loop strap are glued together, thus completing the purpose of binding and fixing the entire weight belt to the arm or other body parts.
[0033] Example 2
[0034] This embodiment 2 is a modification of embodiment 1, specifically in the shape and design of the soft load-bearing device body, as detailed below:
[0035] In this embodiment 2, as Figure 6 As shown, both the body of the flexible weightlifting device and its protective bag are curved sheets, with an elastic handle strap 12 on the side of the protective bag. The body of the flexible weightlifting device has a long, curved design, similar to a quarter-circle structure. Combined with the use of the elastic handle strap, it can be directly slipped onto the arm or calf for weight-bearing. When in use, the arm or calf is simply inserted into the elastic handle strap to secure the flexible weightlifting device to the arm or calf for weight training.
[0036] Example 3
[0037] This third embodiment is also based on the first embodiment, but with a different shape and size of the soft load-bearing device body, as detailed below:
[0038] In this embodiment 3, as Figure 7 As shown, both the main body of the flexible weightlifting device and its protective case are cross-shaped. The main body of this flexible weightlifting device is relatively large and heavy, suitable for training such as lifting the hands, supporting the waist and legs. Due to its large size or irregular shape, the combination of metal weight particles and a silicone protective layer ensures that the silicone protective layer is fully filled with the metal weight particles, maximizing the load-bearing capacity and effectiveness.
[0039] This soft weight training device is made of a soft body, primarily using silicone and metal materials. The silicone serves as the outer protective layer, while the metal adds weight. The silicone and metal materials can be mixed, multi-layered, or have an inner and outer wrapping structure, offering various combination options. The entire soft weight training device features a soft outer surface and a weight-bearing interior. This ensures effective and high-quality weight training while improving adaptability and quality. It also prevents long-term wear and tear on the skin due to the soft material, has low manufacturing costs, and the wrapping material is not easily worn out due to friction.
[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the structure of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
