1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a gripping power training bender, and more particularly to a gripping power training bender that can help accurately counting the times of gripping in order to get a standard for comparison in training.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Sustained training with weights not only can help users to build up muscle power to make muscles strong, but also can increase power of bodies, get better form of the muscles, and avoid problems in physical functions resulted from fat bodies. Using a gripping power training bender can get evident effects in basic physical trainings on the muscles of the shoulder, the back, front side muscles of the thighs and for breast spreading.
A conventional gripping power training bender mainly includes an elongate elastic member and two elongate pipe-like handles, two ends of the elastic member each connects with a handle, in order that when a user can exert forces on the handles to overcome the flexing resistance force of the elastic member, the elastic member becomes a “U” shape, for the purpose of muscle training and increasing power of muscles.
However, when in muscle training, a user often bends the elastic member quickly or concentrates on exerting force for exercise and thereby cannot care for counting the times of gripping. As a result, he generally is unable to get a standard for comparison in training and for accurately controlling for achieving the object of exercise gradually in a sequence.
In view of this, and in order to get rid of the above defect and to not only make the gripping power training bender capable of counting the times of gripping get the effect of muscle training and plastic modeling, but also be capable of counting accurately to get a standard for comparison in training and for achieving the object of exercise gradually in a sequence. The inventor thus provided the present invention based on his professional experience of years in studying, developing and improving the conventional training equipments.
The primary aspect of the present invention is to provide a gripping power training bender capable of counting the times of gripping, in which by providing a pulling rope in an elastic member and two handles, and with a structure having one end of the pulling rope connected to a counting member, when a user bends the elastic member, the counting member can be simultaneously pulled to do counting to build up a standard for comparison in training.
The secondary aspect of the present invention is to provide a gripping power training bender capable of counting the times of gripping, in which by providing a pulling rope in an elastic member and two handles, and with a structure having one end of the pulling rope connected to a counting member and the other end connected to a buffer member, when the user bends the elastic member, the force of pulling rope pulling the counting member is buffered to prevent breaking of the pulling rope and to assure continuing of the action of counting.
For achieving the above aspects of the present invention, the gripping power training bender capable of counting the times of gripping provided by the present invention comprises an elastic member, a counting member, at least a positioning member and a pulling rope. Wherein two ends of the elastic member each is connected to a handle; the counting member is connected to one of the handles; the positioning member is positioned between the two handles and is provided with a through hole; and one end of the pulling rope is fixed on an end of one of the handles, the other end is connected to the counting member after being extended through the elastic member and the through hole. Thereby when a user exerts forces continuously on the two handles to bend the elastic member, one end of the pulling rope continuously pulls the counting member to count the times of gripping.
When in practicing, the through hole is located at the axis of the positioning member.
And when in practicing, the present invention further includes a buffer member in connecting with one end of the pulling rope. The buffer member is composed of a cover plate, a sleeve and a buffer piece which is received between the cover plate and the sleeve, one end of the pulling rope is extended through the buffer piece to connect with the cover plate.
The present invention will be more apparent after reading the detailed description of the preferred embodiment thereof in reference to the accompanying drawings.

When in practicing, the elastic member 3 is wound in the form of a helix which is generally as a pipe. The two ends of the elastic member 3 are connected by slipping in respectively to the left end of the right handle 2 and to the right end of the left handle 2′, so that the two handles 2, 2′ are assembled together with the elastic member 3 to form an elongate shape, the outer wall of the right handle 2 has a notch 21, the left end of the left handle 2′ is provided with the buffer member 5.
The counting member 4 includes a fixing seat 41, a counter 42, an engaging piece 43 and an upper lid 44, the fixing seat 41 is generally in a rectangular shape, it is extended through the notch 21 and fixed in the right handle 2, the counter 42 is covered with the upper lid 44 and is connected onto the top of the fixing seat 41. The counter 42 is provided thereon with a push button 45 which is connected to an electric circuit board (not shown) and a displaying screen 46, each time the push button 45 is pressed, the displaying screen 46 will display adding 1; and the engaging piece 43 is a bended sheet including a main body 431, an upwardly protruding portion 432 and a downwardly protruding portion 433; a joint of the main body 431 with the upwardly protruding portion 432 has a round hole 434 for pivotally connecting the engaging piece 43 onto the fixing seat 41 with a pivot axle 435, so that the engaging piece 43 can be rotated relatively to the fixing seat 41. The upwardly protruding portion 432 of the engaging piece 43 is kept a predetermined distance from the push button 45, while the downwardly protruding portion 433 is connected to the right end of the pulling rope 7.
The positioning members 6, 6′ are two in number, of which the positioning member 6 is positioned on the left end of the right handle 2, while the other positioning member 6′ is positioned on the right end of the left handle 2′. The positions of the axes of the two positioning members 6, 6′ each forms a through hole 61, 61′.
The buffer member 5 includes a round covering plate 51, an opened round sleeve 52 and a buffer piece 53 on its left side; the round covering plate 51 is received in the left side-opened round sleeve 52, the sleeve 52 is fixed on the left end of the left handle 2′, an axle hole 521 is formed on the right side of the sleeve 52. The buffer piece 53 is a cylindrical sponge having a through hole 531 at its axis for receiving between the covering plate 51 and the sleeve 52, the buffer piece 53 can also be a spring.
The pulling rope 7 is connected with and fixed on the covering plate 51 after its left end is extended through the axle hole 521 formed on the right side of the sleeve 52, its right end is connected with the downwardly protruding portion 433 of the engaging piece 43 on the counting member 4 after it is extended through the elastic member 3 and the through holes 61, 61′ of the two positioning members 6, 6′.
