Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fitness equipment technology, and in particular relates to a fitness device that combines waist twisting and massage simultaneously. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, they are paying more and more attention to their health and physical fitness, and more and more people are starting to focus on daily fitness. The waist, as an important part of the human body, directly affects people's daily life and work. Currently, there are many types of waist fitness equipment on the market, but most have limited functions, either only providing waist twisting exercises or only providing waist massage. It's difficult for users to achieve both waist twisting and massage effects in a single workout. For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN111467732 A, published on July 31, 2020, entitled "A Hula Hoop with Assisted Massage and Blood Circulation Promotion," discloses a hula hoop with assisted massage and blood circulation promotion, including a rod, an outer plate, an adjusting column, and a massage ball. When in use, rotating the hula hoop allows the massage ball to contact and compress the waist, massaging it and promoting blood circulation. However, its drawback is that the force generated by swinging the waist and abdomen to rotate the hula hoop does not achieve a very good massage effect. Theoretically, the working principle of a hula hoop is based on centrifugal force, inertia, and the coordinated movement of the core muscle groups. That is, when the hula hoop rotates around the body, the centrifugal force generated by its motion maintains its outward tension, preventing it from falling directly; the inertia of rotation keeps the hula hoop in motion; and the continuous swinging of the waist and abdomen provides the power, creating a cycle where the body drives the hula hoop, and the hula hoop reacts back onto the body. From the working principle of the hula hoop, it can be seen that the twisting of the waist and abdomen is necessary for the hula hoop to generate inertia and thus produce a reaction force. Obviously, this reaction force depends on the frequency and intensity of the twisting motion, and this intensity is insufficient to achieve a truly effective massage.

[0003] Since hula hoops with massage balls offer limited massage effects, is there a fitness massage device with better results? Chinese Patent Publication No. CN220546409 U, Publication Date: March 1, 2024, Application No. 2022235168060.X, entitled "Massage Device," discloses a massage device that arranges multiple vibrating massagers spaced apart on a flexible wearable surface. When the massager is working, at least one of the vibrating massagers performs vibration massage along its distribution direction, allowing different massagers to sequentially apply vibration massage to different positions on the waist, creating a periodic vibration massage across the circumferential area of ​​the waist. However, this application suffers from drawbacks. It relies on a control board, motion sensors, pressure sensors, and electrical stimulation massage units to massage the user's waist, resulting in a complex structure, high technical requirements, and high production costs. Most importantly, it lacks the actual twisting and waist-stretching motion required for exercise. Simply put, it's just an electric massager and cannot achieve a true twisting and massage effect.

[0004] It is evident that "a hula hoop with auxiliary massage to promote blood circulation," that is, a hula hoop with massage balls, controls the trajectory of the hula hoop and maintains its balance by twisting the waist; the contact between the massage balls on this type of hula hoop and the human body is only localized, and the pressure points are uneven. A "massage device," on the other hand, focuses on using electronic technology to enhance the massage effect; at best, it is an electric waist massager and cannot achieve the fitness benefits of a hula hoop.

[0005] In summary, "a hula hoop with auxiliary massage to promote blood circulation" has a good waist-twisting fitness effect, but the massage effect is not ideal; while "massage device" has a good massage effect, but lacks the corresponding waist-twisting fitness movements.

[0006] Furthermore, existing waist fitness equipment has relatively limited functionality, leading to boredom and fatigue after prolonged use. Some waist fitness equipment, especially hula hoops with massage balls, not only offer poor massage effects but also present difficulties in operation. While hula hooping seems simple, it is actually relatively complex to operate, requiring mastery of balance and pressure; many middle-aged and elderly people find it difficult to control. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a fitness device that is easy to operate and combines waist exercises with massage and body shaping to meet diverse fitness needs. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fitness device that combines waist twisting and massage simultaneously, thereby overcoming, to at least some extent, one or more problems caused by the limitations and defects of related technologies.

[0027] The following will describe clearly and completely, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a fitness device that simultaneously performs waist twisting and massage, provided by this utility model:

[0028] Example

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model discloses a fitness device that simultaneously performs waist twisting and massage, comprising a flexible strap 1 and massage balls 2; the flexible strap 1 is a strip-shaped material that can be bent or twisted without being easily broken; the massage balls 2 are spherical or drum-shaped, and at least six massage balls 2 are fixedly connected to the flexible strap 1 at equal intervals; it also includes: a connector 3, which is disposed at both ends of the flexible strap 1; the connector 3 is used to fix the flexible strap 1 to form a ring; the length of the flexible strap 1 can be adjusted through the connector 3; and a handle 4; the handle 4 is fixed to the outside of the flexible strap 1. Specifically, this utility model uses a connector 3 to fix the two ends of the flexible strap 1 together, forming a ring shape. Simultaneously, the length of the flexible strap 1 can be adjusted via the connector 3. Thus, different users can choose fitness devices made of different materials, and adjust the length of the flexible strap 1 according to their waist size using Velcro 3-1, buckles 3-2, or hooks 3-3 to achieve the optimal fit between the flexible strap 1 and the curve of the waist and abdomen. Furthermore, the handle 4 is fixed to the outside of the flexible strap 1 for easy operation. During use, the user adjusts the tightness of the flexible strap 1 to fit the body, wraps it around the waist, holds the handle 4 with both hands, and pulls the handle 4 while rotating the waist left and right, causing the massage balls 2 fixed to the flexible strap 1 to roll and massage the waist and abdomen.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the connecting member 3 includes a hook and loop fastener 3-1, a snap fastener 3-2, or a hook fastener 3-3; the hook and loop fastener 3-1 is composed of a hook side 3-1-1 and a loop side 3-1-2; the snap fastener 3-2 is composed of a male buckle 3-2-1 and a female buckle 3-2-2; the hook fastener 3-3 is composed of a hook 3-3-1 and a hanging ring 3-3-2; the hook and loop fastener 3-1, the snap fastener 3-2, or the hook fastener 3-3 are fixedly connected to both ends of the flexible strap 1 through sewing, riveting, or bonding processes. The flexible strap 1 of this utility model uses a strip material with a certain elasticity and flexibility, which can be bent or twisted without easily breaking, so that the flexible strap 1, to which the massage ball 2 is fixedly connected, can conform to the curve of the human waist for fixation; for example, fabric strips, plastic strips, and elastic strips. Regardless of the type of flexible material used, in this utility model, the two ends of the flexible strap 1 are detachably fixedly connected by the connecting member 3. This is specifically described from the following aspects:

[0031] Example 1: Flexible wearing strap using fabric strips; please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 The flexible band 1 is secured at both ends with Velcro 3-1. Specifically, the hook side 3-1-1 and the loop side 3-1-2 of the Velcro 3-1 are firmly secured at both ends of the flexible band 1 using a sewing process. High-strength sewing thread is used; during sewing, the stitches must be tight and even to avoid loosening or unraveling. The length of the Velcro 3-1 is preset to accommodate different users' waist sizes. After the Velcro 3-1 is secured at both ends of the flexible band 1, the Velcro 3-1 adheres together, forming a loop that can be wrapped around the user's waist. If adjustment to a suitable length is needed, the Velcro 3-1 can be opened for adjustment.

[0032] Example 2: Flexible wearing method using elastic bands 1; please refer to Figure 3 The flexible strap 1 is fixedly connected at both ends using buckles 3-2. Specifically, the male buckle 3-2-1 and female buckle 3-2-2 are riveted or screwed to both ends of the flexible strap 1 made of elastic material to form a ring. The elastic material is stretchable. If it is necessary to adjust the length of the flexible strap 1 to accommodate the waist size of different users, simply stretch the flexible strap 1 made of elastic material and insert the buckles 3-2.

[0033] Example 3: Flexible wearing method using plastic straps 1; please refer to Figure 4The flexible band 1 is secured at both ends with hooks 3-3. Specifically, hooks 3-3-1 are riveted or screwed to one end of the flexible band 1, forming a single row; and hanging rings 3-3-2 are riveted or screwed to the other end of the flexible band 1, forming multiple rows. In use, hooks 3-3-1 are hung on one row of hanging rings 3-3-2, forming a loop that can be wrapped around the user's waist. To adjust the length to fit the user's waist, hooks 3-3-1 are opened, and the connection to the hanging rings 3-3-2 is adjusted.

[0034] It should be understood that this utility model uses connector 3 to detachably fix the two ends of the flexible strap 1; its function is that different users can choose fitness devices made of different materials, and adjust the length of the flexible strap 1 according to their waist size by using Velcro 3-1, buckle 3-2, or hook 3-3, so that the ring-shaped flexible strap 1 can be adjusted as much as possible to fit the curve of the human waist; when in use, by rotating the waist left and right and simultaneously pulling the flexible strap 1, the flexible strap 1 drives the massage ball 2 to perform fitness exercises.

[0035] It is worth noting that there are many types of connectors 3 and connection methods. This embodiment preferably adopts a simpler and easier-to-process method as an example to illustrate the importance of connectors 3 in this utility model. It can be said that without connectors 3, the flexible wear 1 cannot be closed.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the handle 4 is made of a non-slip material with a non-slip texture on its surface. There are two handles 4, each fixed to the outside of the flexible strap 1 by sewing, riveting, or bolting. The handle 4 has an ergonomic shape and a non-slip surface, such as elastic or silicone, to increase comfort and stability when the user pulls it. The handle 4 is securely connected to the flexible strap 1 using high-strength stitching or riveting to ensure that the handle 4 will not detach from the flexible strap 1 during use.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the flexible wearer 1 is equipped with a counter 5 and a voice announcer 6. The counter 5 is fixed to the middle of both sides of the handle 4 and is used to count the number of times the flexible wearer 1 is pulled and rotated. The voice announcer 6 is connected to the counter 5. The counter 5 and the voice announcer 6 can help users maintain sustained and orderly movement, increasing interaction and enjoyment of exercise.

[0038] The usage method and working principle of this utility model:

[0039] To use, firstly, wrap the flexible strap 1 around your waist and adjust it to a suitable position using the connector 3. At this point, the flexible strap 1 will fit snugly against your waist, forming a stable wrapping effect. Secondly, hold the handles 4 with both hands. Thirdly, rotate your waist to the left while simultaneously pulling the handles 4 to the left, causing the flexible strap 1 to move to the left, and the massage ball 2 to roll to the left. Then, rotate your waist to the right while simultaneously pulling the handles 4 to the right, causing the flexible strap 1 to move to the right, and the massage ball 2 to roll to the right. Repeat this motion of rotating your waist left and right continuously.

[0040] Because the handle 4 is fixedly connected to the flexible strap 1, the massage ball 2, fixed to the flexible strap 1, rolls relative to the surface of the waist and abdomen as the flexible strap 1 rotates left and right. The rolling of the massage ball 2 creates continuous pressure, friction, and rolling on the surface of the waist and abdomen. As the massage ball 2 rolls, its contact point with the waist and abdomen constantly changes, massaging the waist and abdomen from different angles and positions, achieving a comprehensive and even massage. Throughout the continuous movement, the muscles of the waist are stretched and contracted during the twisting motion, while the rolling of the massage ball 2 promotes blood circulation in the waist, relaxes the waist muscles, and relieves muscle fatigue, achieving a combination of fitness and massage effects.

[0041] In summary, after the user puts on the device, while turning their body left and right, they pull the handle 4 to rotate the flexible strap 1, causing the massage ball 2 to rotate simultaneously. This synchronized operation completes the combined functions of fitness and massage, improving exercise efficiency and experience. Thus, it achieves the intended effect of this invention: a fitness device that simultaneously performs waist twisting and massage.
