Abstract
A hand-shaking exerciser outfitted with an internal rotor comprises a hollow casing and a rotor shaft. The hollow casing consists of two identical semispherical shells interlocked integrally and extending outward to form two handles. At the far top of the shell, many small hard pellets are installed. The internal inertia rotor shaft is composed of two crown plates, an inertia weight and a wheel plate, one of which has an oval head at one side and one sleeve at other to receive the inertia weight. Two crown plates will hold and lock the inertia weight and wheel plate firmly to constitute an integral rotor shaft. When the player holds the handles and shakes the exerciser, the rotor shaft will make a free inertia rolling within the casing. The vigorous rolling of the rotor shaft will produce powerful vibration force acting as a massaging force to achieve the practical purpose.
Description




FIELD OF THE INVENTION




This invention relates to a hand-shaking exerciser outfitted internally with an inertia rotor shaft, in particular, the rotor shaft will produce an inertia rolling within the hand-shaking exerciser.




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




Nowadays, the leisure activities are numerous and the sports materials that are available either in the gymnasium or in houses are very popular, are good for the public to promote healthcare in the leisure time. However, most sports materials are designed with complicated structure and bulky in volume, not easy for handling, requiring spacious storage room, not becoming available at the exact time when the player wants to play.




For this reason, based on the real requirement to keep availability of the sports materials all the time as the player wishes, the inventor has devoted great efforts for years to the professional research and development and eventually come up with the birth of this hand-shaking exerciser with internal illuminant rotor shaft.




SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION




The key object of the invention is to provide a hand-shaking exerciser outfitted with internal inertia rotor shaft, designed in compact structure, easy for handling and operation, let the player have the option to pick it up at any leisure time to practice the hand exercise as he desires.




The significant features and technology of this invention are expressed in great detail with the aid of embodiments as illustrated in the drawings attached.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION




As shown in

FIGS. 1 through 4

, the casing


1


of the invention contains a rotor shaft


2


. Where the casing


1


is composed of two identical semispherical shells


11


and


12


interlocked together. The semispherical shells


11


and


12


extend outward from the arch centers


111


and


121


to form two butterfly-type handles


112


and


122


. Slot


113


and


123


are provided at both ends of handles


112


and


122


. In the slot


123


, there is an upright post


124


. Two clusters of small hard pellets


114


and


125


are installed at the center top of the semispherical shells


11


and


12


.




The rotor shaft


2


comprises two crown plates


21


and


22


, an inertia weight


23


and a wheel plate


24


, where the crown plates


21


and


22


have oval heads


211


,


221


on one side, permissible to slide within the inner arch surfaces


111


and


121


of two semispherical shells


11


and


12


, and sleeves


212


and


222


on the other side. When the crown plates


21


and


22


are interlocked to form an I-type axial shaft having a diameter less than the inner arch surfaces


111


and


121


of the semispherical shells


11


and


12


. The I-type axial shaft constitutes a sleeve


212


of crown plate


21


to receive the inertia weight


23


and the wheel plate


24


which is sandwiched by two sleeves


212


and


222


of two crown plates


21


and


22


. The outer diameter is smaller than that of the I-type axial shaft. When the I-type axial shaft freely rolls within the inner arch surfaces


111


and


121


, the wheel plate


24


rotates with the I-type axial shaft too.




It is learned that two inner arch surfaces


111


and


121


form a hollow space in the casing


1


, permitting the rotor shaft


2


to roll therein. When the player holds two handles


112


and


122


on the casing


1


and shakes it along an orbit on the body, the rotor shaft


2


rolls freely and violently in the hollow space organized by the inner arch surfaces


111


and


121


, and two clusters of pellets


114


and


125


produce a vibration which is finally translated into massaging effect. Playing this exerciser achieve the objectives of body massaging and hand practice, very valuable.





FIG. 5

shows another embodiment of the invention in which the slots


113


and


123


of the handles


112


and


122


are provided with a belt


3


and bolt ring


31


which is hooked on the upright post


124


in the slot


123


. It is convenient for the player to massage the back by hanging the belt


3


along the waist line. In addition, the wheel plate


24


can be made a colorful wheel to intensify the diverse fun while the rotor shaft


2


is rolling in the casing


1


.




From the above statement, this invention provides a hand exerciser with internal inertia rotor shaft has a brand new ideal and a simplified design which will achieve the predetermined objective.




Many changes and modifications in the above disclosed embodiment of the invention can, of course, be carried out without departing from the scope thereof. Accordingly, to promote the progress in science and the useful arts, the invention is disclosed and is intended to be limited only by the scope of the appended claims.
