Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fitness equipment, specifically to a hook and fitness equipment. Background Technology

[0002] A foot pedal resistance band is a portable home fitness device that allows users to perform aerobic exercise by sitting in a chair, holding onto the armrests, and pedaling on foot pedals to overcome the resistance of elastic ropes. Existing foot pedal resistance bands typically have a hook that is roughly ring-shaped, consisting of a connecting section and an arc-shaped section. The end of the arc-shaped section bends downwards, forming an insertion port between the front or side of the connecting section and the elastic rope. Because this method results in a short distance between the insertion port and the bottom of the arc-shaped section, and because the downward bend at the end of the arc-shaped section makes it easy for the rope to slide out, there is a risk that the elastic rope may slip out of the hook when subjected to external pulling or vibration.

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned defects or problems existing in the background art or to provide a material basis for overcoming the above-mentioned defects or problems existing in the background art, and to provide a hook and fitness equipment.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention and its preferred embodiments adopt the following technical solutions, but the embodiments are not limited to the following solutions:

[0005] Option 1: A hook suitable for attaching elastic cords, including...

[0006] The hook body has a connecting section, an arc-shaped section and an anti-detachment section connected in sequence. The connecting section extends downward, the arc-shaped section is concave downward and its top two ends are respectively connected to the lower ends of the connecting section and the anti-detachment section; the anti-detachment section extends upward and is inclined in the direction close to the connecting section, and one end of the anti-detachment section away from the arc-shaped section is located above the connecting section, forming an insertion port between the anti-detachment section and the connecting section suitable for inserting the elastic rope.

[0007] Option 2, based on Option 1, involves extending the anti-detachment segment away from the arc-shaped segment to the side of the connecting segment away from the arc-shaped segment.

[0008] Option 3, based on Option 1, the anti-detachment section includes a first inclined section and a second inclined section. The two ends of the first inclined section are respectively connected to the bottom ends of the arc-shaped section and the second inclined section. The second inclined section is located below the extension line of the first inclined section and above the connecting section, forming an insertion port suitable for inserting the elastic rope between the second inclined section and the connecting section.

[0009] Option 4, based on Option 3, extends the second inclined segment to the side of the connecting segment opposite to the arc-shaped segment.

[0010] Option 5, based on Option 1, further includes a connecting rod, and the number of hooks is at least two, with the connecting rod connecting the upper end of the connecting section of each hook.

[0011] Option 6, based on Option 1, further includes a fixed first connecting rod and a second connecting rod. The number of hooks is four, arranged along a first direction. The first connecting rod connects the upper ends of the connecting sections of the two middle hooks, and the second connecting rod connects the upper ends of the connecting sections of the two side hooks and is located above the first connecting rod.

[0012] Option 7, based on Option 6, the second connecting rod includes a first segment, a second segment, a third segment, a fourth segment, and a fifth segment that are sequentially arranged and connected along a first direction. The first segment, the third segment, and the fifth segment extend along the first direction, and the third segment is higher than the first segment and the fifth segment.

[0013] Option 8, a fitness device, includes an elastic cord and a hook as described in any one of Options 1 to 7, wherein the elastic cord is adapted to be hooked onto the hook.

[0014] As can be seen from the above description of the present invention and its preferred embodiments, compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention and its preferred embodiments have the following beneficial effects due to the adoption of the following technical means:

[0015] 1. In Scheme 1 and its preferred embodiments, a hook suitable for hooking elastic rope includes a hook body, the hook body having a connecting section, an arc-shaped section and an anti-detachment section connected in sequence, the connecting section extending downward, the arc-shaped section being concave downward and its top two ends being connected to the lower ends of the connecting section and the anti-detachment section respectively; the anti-detachment section extending upward and inclined in the direction close to the connecting section, the end of the anti-detachment section opposite to the arc-shaped section being located above the connecting section, and forming an insertion port suitable for inserting the elastic rope between the anti-detachment section and the connecting section, since the insertion port is located above the connecting section, the elastic rope is less likely to detach, and through this, the elastic rope needs to slide upward and then horizontally to detach, resulting in a better anti-detachment effect.

[0016] 2. In Scheme 2 and its preferred embodiment, the end of the anti-detachment section away from the arc-shaped section extends to the side of the connecting section away from the arc-shaped section. On the one hand, this makes it easier for the elastic rope to be fitted onto the anti-detachment section, so that the elastic rope can enter from the insertion port and facilitate the installation of the elastic rope. On the other hand, it also prevents the elastic rope from detaching.

[0017] 3. In Scheme 3 and its preferred embodiments, the anti-detachment section includes a first inclined section and a second inclined section. The two ends of the first inclined section are connected to the bottom ends of the arc-shaped section and the second inclined section, respectively. The second inclined section is located below the extension line of the first inclined section and above the connecting section, forming an insertion entrance suitable for inserting the elastic cord between the second inclined section and the connecting section. By bending the second inclined section relative to the first inclined section, the opening angle of the insertion entrance is further reduced to improve the anti-detachment effect.

[0018] 4. In Scheme 4 and its preferred embodiments, the second inclined section extends to the side of the connecting section away from the arc-shaped section. On the one hand, this makes it easier for the elastic rope to be fitted onto the second inclined section, so that the elastic rope can enter from the insertion port and facilitate the installation of the elastic rope. On the other hand, it also serves to prevent the elastic rope from detaching.

[0019] 5. In Scheme 5 and its preferred embodiments, a connecting rod is also included, and the number of hooks is at least two. The connecting rod connects the upper end of the connecting section of each hook, thereby realizing the connection of multiple hooks.

[0020] 6. In Scheme 6 and its preferred embodiments, a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod are fixed to each other. There are four hooks arranged along a first direction. The first connecting rod connects to the upper end of the connecting section of the two middle hooks. The second connecting rod connects to the upper end of the connecting section of the two hooks on both sides and is located above the first connecting rod.

[0021] The connection between the hook and the connecting rod is mostly achieved by welding. If several hooks are welded onto a straight rod, the welding area is too small and the strength is insufficient. The above method can ensure the strength.

[0022] 7. In Scheme 6 and its preferred embodiments, the second connecting rod includes a first segment, a second segment, a third segment, a fourth segment, and a fifth segment arranged and connected sequentially along the first direction. The first segment, the third segment, and the fifth segment extend along the first direction. The third segment is higher than the first segment and the fifth segment. The third segment occupies less space along the first direction, which facilitates the welding of the third segment to the main body of the fitness equipment and prevents the connecting rod from occupying a large area, causing interference with the handrail tube, etc., and affecting the use.

[0023] 8. In Scheme 8 and its preferred embodiments, a fitness device includes an elastic rope and the hook described above. The elastic rope is suitable for being hooked onto the hook and has the beneficial effects brought about by the hook described above. Attached Figure Description

[0036] In the claims, description and accompanying drawings of this utility model, the terms "comprising", "having", and variations thereof are used to mean "including but not limited to".

[0037] refer to Figures 1-5 A type of fitness equipment. This fitness equipment may be a foot pedal resistance band.

[0038] The fitness equipment includes hook 1 and elastic rope 2.

[0039] The elastic rope 2 is adapted to be hooked to the hook 1. Specifically, at least one end of the elastic rope 2 is looped to be hooked to the hook 1, and the other end can be connected to the pedal or other exercise element.

[0040] refer to Figures 2-5 Hook 1 is usually fixed to the main body of the fitness equipment, which is stationary relative to the ground. The fixing method can be welding, threaded fastening, etc.

[0041] The hook 1 includes a hook body 11, a first connecting rod 12, and a second connecting rod 13 that are fixed to each other, and the fixing method can be welding.

[0042] refer to Figure 2 The hook body 11 is provided with a connecting section 111, an arc-shaped section 112 and an anti-detachment section 113 connected in sequence. The connecting section 111 extends downward. In this embodiment, the connecting section 111 extends vertically downward. In other embodiments, it may also be inclined relative to the vertical plane.

[0043] The curved segment 112 is concave downwards, roughly U-shaped, and located in front of the vertical segment. The top two ends of the curved segment 112 are connected to the lower ends of the connecting segment 111 and the anti-detachment segment 113, respectively. The anti-detachment segment 113 extends upwards and slopes towards the connecting segment 111, with one end of the anti-detachment segment 113 facing away from the curved segment 112 located above the connecting segment 111 and on the side of the connecting segment 111 facing away from the curved segment 112, extending to the rear. An insertion port 114, suitable for inserting the elastic cord 2, is formed between the end of the anti-detachment segment 113 facing away from the curved segment 112 and the connecting segment 111. The loop-shaped portion of the elastic cord 2 can be inserted through this insertion port 114 to interlock with the curved segment 112.

[0044] Specifically, the anti-detachment section 113 includes a first inclined section 1131 and a second inclined section 1132. The two ends of the first inclined section 1131 are connected to the top end of the arc-shaped section 112 and the bottom end of the second inclined section 1132, respectively. The second inclined section 1132 is located below the extension line of the first inclined section 1131, that is, the angle between the first inclined section 1131 and the horizontal plane is greater than the angle between the second inclined section 1132 and the horizontal plane. The second inclined section 1132 is located above the connecting section 111 and on the side of the connecting section 111 away from the arc-shaped section 112, and forms an insertion port 114 between the connecting section 111 and the connecting section 111, suitable for inserting the elastic rope 2.

[0045] In this embodiment, there are four hooks 11, which are arranged along the first direction, forming a group of two and connected to the two pedals.

[0046] The first connecting rod 12 extends along the first direction and is located on the same vertical plane as the connecting section 111. The first connecting rod 12 connects the upper end of the connecting section 111 of the two intermediate hooks 11.

[0047] The second connecting rod 13 and the connecting section 111 are also located on the same vertical plane. The second connecting rod 13 is located above the first connecting rod 12, and the second connecting rod 13 connects the upper ends of the connecting sections 111 of the two hooks 11 on both sides. The second connecting rod 13 includes a first section 131, a second section 132, a third section 133, a fourth section 134, and a fifth section 135, which are arranged and connected sequentially along a first direction. The first section 131, the third section 133, and the fifth section 135 extend along the first direction, with the third section 133 being higher than the first section 131 and the fifth section 135. The second section 132 and the fourth section 134 extend vertically. The first section 131, the second section 132, the third section 133, the fourth section 134, and the fifth section 135 are all located above the first connecting rod 12. The first section 131 and the fifth section 135 are welded to the first connecting rod 12 as a whole.

[0048] The corners between the connecting segments 111, 112, 113, 12, 13, 12, and 13 are preferably rounded to facilitate forming and reduce stress.

[0049] In other embodiments, a connecting rod can be used to connect the upper end of the connecting section 111 of each hook body 11 so that each hook body 11 is relatively fixed.

[0050] During installation, the hook 1 is fixed to the main body by welding the third section 133 to the main body. Then, the elastic rope 2 is hooked onto the hook 1 and connected to the pedal to complete the installation. Since the insertion port 114 for installing the elastic rope 2 is located above the connecting section 111, the elastic rope 2 is less likely to detach. Furthermore, the elastic rope 2 needs to slide upwards and then horizontally to detach, resulting in a better anti-detachment effect.

[0051] Compared with the prior art, this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:

[0052] In one exemplary embodiment, a hook 1, suitable for hooking an elastic rope 2, includes a hook body 11. The hook body 11 has a connecting section 111, an arc-shaped section 112, and an anti-detachment section 113 connected in sequence. The connecting section 111 extends downward, and the arc-shaped section 112 is concave downward with its top two ends connected to the lower ends of the connecting section 111 and the anti-detachment section 113, respectively. The anti-detachment section 113 extends upward and is inclined in a direction close to the connecting section 111. One end of the anti-detachment section 113 away from the arc-shaped section 112 is located above the connecting section 111, and forms an insertion port 114 between the anti-detachment section 113 and the connecting section 111, which is suitable for inserting the elastic rope 2. Since the insertion port 114 is located above the connecting section 111, the elastic rope 2 is less likely to detach. Furthermore, the elastic rope 2 needs to slide upward and then horizontally to detach, resulting in a better anti-detachment effect.

[0053] In one exemplary embodiment, the anti-detachment section 113 extends from one end away from the arc-shaped section 112 to the side of the connecting section 111 away from the arc-shaped section 112. This makes it easier for the elastic rope 2 to be fitted onto the anti-detachment section 113 so that the elastic rope 2 can enter from the insertion port 114, facilitating the installation of the elastic rope 2. On the other hand, it also prevents the elastic rope 2 from detaching.

[0054] In one exemplary embodiment, the anti-detachment section 113 includes a first inclined section 1131 and a second inclined section 1132. The two ends of the first inclined section 1131 are respectively connected to the bottom ends of the arc-shaped section 112 and the second inclined section 1132. The second inclined section 1132 is located below the extension line of the first inclined section 1131 and above the connecting section 111, forming an insertion port 114 suitable for inserting the elastic rope 2 between the second inclined section 1132 and the connecting section 111. By bending the second inclined section 1132 relative to the first inclined section 1131, the opening angle of the insertion port 114 is further reduced to improve the anti-detachment effect.

[0055] In one exemplary embodiment, the second inclined section 1132 extends to the side of the connecting section 111 opposite to the arc-shaped section 112. On the one hand, this makes it easier for the elastic rope 2 to be fitted onto the second inclined section 1132 so that the elastic rope 2 can enter from the insertion port 114, which facilitates the installation of the elastic rope 2. On the other hand, it also serves to prevent the elastic rope 2 from detaching.

[0056] In one exemplary embodiment, a connecting rod is also included, and the number of hooks 11 is at least two. The connecting rod connects the upper end of the connecting section 111 of each hook 11, thereby realizing the connection of multiple hooks 11.

[0057] In one exemplary embodiment, the system further includes a first connecting rod 12 and a second connecting rod 13 that are fixed to each other. There are four hooks 11 arranged along a first direction. The first connecting rod 12 connects to the upper end of the connecting section 111 of the two middle hooks 11, and the second connecting rod 13 connects to the upper end of the connecting section 111 of the two hooks 11 on both sides and is located above the first connecting rod 12.

[0058] The connection between the hook body 11 and the connecting rod is mostly achieved by welding. If several hook bodies 11 are welded onto a straight rod, the welding area is too small and the strength is insufficient. The above method can ensure the strength.

[0059] In one exemplary embodiment, the second connecting rod 13 includes a first segment 131, a second segment 132, a third segment 133, a fourth segment 134, and a fifth segment 135 that are sequentially arranged and connected along a first direction. The first segment 131, the third segment 133, and the fifth segment 135 extend along the first direction. The third segment 133 is higher than the first segment 131 and the fifth segment 135. The third segment 133 occupies less space along the first direction, which facilitates the welding of the third segment 133 to the main body of the fitness equipment.

[0060] In one exemplary embodiment, a fitness device includes an elastic rope 2 and a hook 1 as described above. The elastic rope 2 is adapted to be hooked onto the hook 1 and has the beneficial effects brought about by the hook 1.

[0061] The foregoing description of the specifications and embodiments is intended to explain the scope of protection of this utility model, but does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Modifications, equivalent substitutions, or other improvements to the embodiments of this utility model or a portion thereof that can be obtained by those skilled in the art through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation, based on the teachings of this utility model or the foregoing embodiments, should all be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
