DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring to the drawings and initially to
FIGS. 1 and 2
, an inertial rocking type exercising device in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a rotation main body
1
, and a support rack
20
.
The rotation main body
1
is provided with a shaft
12
. The shaft
12
has a mediate portion provided with a radially directed positioning post
120
whose two ends protrude outward from an outer wall of the shaft
12
.
The shaft
12
is provided with two semi-spherical bodies
10
which are combined with each other. Each of the two semi-spherical bodies
10
has a center provided with a shaft hole
11
for passage of the shaft
12
. The shaft hole
11
of one of the two semi-spherical bodies
10
is extended to an outside, so that one end of the shaft
12
protrudes outward from one of the two semi-spherical bodies
10
. The shaft hole
11
of each of the two semi-spherical bodies
10
is formed with an insertion recess
110
for insertion of the positioning post
120
.
A rotation disk
13
having a shape of the Saturn is mounted on the two semi-spherical bodies
10
, and includes two casings
14
which are combined with each other. Each of the two casings
14
is formed with an arcuate concave portion
15
for receiving each of the two semi-spherical bodies
10
. The arcuate concave portion
15
of each of the two casings
14
is provided with multiple protruding bars
150
each having an arcuate face that may be rested on an outer wall of each of the two semi-spherical bodies
10
, so that the rotation disk
13
may be rotated on the two semi-spherical bodies
10
. The arcuate concave portion
15
of one of the two casings
14
is formed with a through hole
151
for passage of the shaft
12
. Each of the two casings
14
has an outer periphery provided with an annular extension portion
16
which is formed with at least one cavity
160
for receiving a counterweight ball
17
.
The support rack
20
has a cross-shape, and has a first end formed with an insertion portion
21
inserted into the shaft
12
in the two semi-spherical bodies
10
, and a second end provided with an arcuate catch plate
22
that may be rested on the user's abdomen. A shade
25
having the shape of a flight vehicle is mounted on the support rack
20
. The support rack
20
has two sides each provided with a handle
24
. Each of the two sides of the support rack
20
is formed with a handle insertion hole
23
for insertion of a distal end of the handle
24
. The handle insertion hole
23
has a periphery formed with multiple positioning holes
230
, and the distal end of the handle
24
is provided with a protruding stub
240
that may be positioned in one of the multiple positioning holes
230
.
In assembly, the rotation disk
13
is mounted on the two semi-spherical bodies
10
, and each of the two casings
14
is formed with an arcuate concave portion
15
for receiving each of the two semi-spherical bodies
10
. The arcuate concave portion
15
of each of the two casings
14
is provided with multiple protruding bars
150
each having an arcuate face that may be rested on the outer wall of each of the two semi-spherical bodies
10
, so that the rotation disk
13
may be rotated on the two semi-spherical bodies
10
with variation of different angles.
Each of the two casings
14
has an outer periphery provided with an annular extension portion
16
for receiving the counterweight ball
17
. Thus, the user's two hands may hold the two handles
24
with the arcuate catch plate
22
being rested on the user's abdomen, thereby forming a support.
In operation, the user may swing his waist and rock his two hands so as to shake the two handles
24
as shown in
FIG. 3
, so that the counterweight ball
17
of the rotation disk
13
on the support rack
20
may produce an inertial force, to drive the rotation disk
13
to rotate on the two semi-spherical bodies
10
. During rotation of different angles of the rotation disk
13
, the counterweight ball
17
may produce centrifugal forces of various different angles as shown in
FIG. 5
, so that the user's two hands and abdomen will withstand the centrifugal forces of various different angles produced by the counterweight ball
17
during rotation of different angles of the rotation disk
13
, thereby efficiently exercising the user's two hands and abdomen. In addition, the user has to swing his waist and rock his two hands continuously, so that the counterweight ball
17
may produce centrifugal forces of various different angles to rotate the rotation disk
13
, thereby enhancing the exercising effect. The support rack
20
may be detached from the rotation main body
1
, and the two handles
24
may be detached from the support rack
20
, so that the exercising device may be folded and stored easily and conveniently.
Further, the protruding stub
240
of the distal end of the handle
24
may be locked and positioned in one of the multiple positioning holes
230
, so that the two handles
24
may be disposed at different inclined angles as shown in
FIG. 4
, and the user may exercise the muscle of different portions by adjusting the inclined angles of each of the two handles
24
.
In addition, the rotation disk
13
of the rotation main body
1
is formed of the shape of the Saturn, and the counterweight ball
17
in the extension portions
16
of the rotation disk
13
is like a planet beside the Saturn, thereby proving an amusement effect during rotation of the rotation disk
13
.
Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment as mentioned above, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is, therefore, contemplated that the appended claim or claims will cover such modifications and variations that fall within the true scope of the invention.
