FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an exemplary structure of an underwater fitness belt according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the underwater fitness belt includes a fixing float 200, a plurality of sets of adjustable floats 300 (also referred to as the adjustable floats 300 below), and a fixing strap 100. The fixing float 200 refers to a fixing component in the underwater fitness belt that generates a buoyancy. The adjustable floats 300 refer to components capable of adjusting the buoyancy of the underwater fitness belt. The fixing strap 100 is configured to fix the fixing float 200 to the plurality of sets of adjustable floats 300, or configured to fix the fixing float 200 and the plurality of sets of adjustable floats 300 to the fixing strap 100. The buoyancy of the fixing float 200 and the adjustable floats 300 allows a user to float stably in the water so that the user may remain stable during movement. In some embodiments, when the user performs an exercise such as bending or lifting the legs, since there is a squeeze at the waist, at which time the wider and larger fixing float 200 is affixed to rear waist or side waist of the user for providing a buoyancy to the rear waist or the side waist of the user, and the narrower and shorter adjustable floats 300 are affixed to the side waist or abdomen of the user for providing a buoyancy to the side waist or the abdomen of the user. In some embodiments, the fixing float 200 may also be affixed to the abdomen when the user is performing an exercise such as swimming, at which time the adjustable floats 300 are located at the rear waist or the side waist; and the user may determine a wearing position according to own exercise needs. More descriptions regarding the fixing float 200, the adjustable floats 300, and the fixing strap 100 may be found in the present disclosure below.

In some embodiments, each set of the adjustable floats 300 includes two symmetrically shaped adjustable floats. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, a set of the adjustable floats 300 includes two first adjustable floats 310, i.e., a first adjustable float 310-1 and a first adjustable float 310-2, and the first adjustable float 310-1 and the first adjustable float 310-2 are symmetrically shaped. In some embodiments, the adjustable floats 300 are capable of being connected through the fixing strap 100 and are capable of being unconnected.

In some embodiments, by adjusting a count of the adjustable floats 300, or by adjusting a length of the fixing strap 100, a size of the underwater fitness belt may be adjusted to cause the size of the underwater fitness belt to match a waist circumstance size of the user. In some embodiments, by adjusting the buoyancy of the adjustable floats 300 themselves, or by adjusting the count of the adjustable floats 300, the buoyancy of the underwater fitness belt may be adjusted to cause the buoyancy to match the needs of the user.

In some embodiments, the fixing float 200 may include one or more fixing floats, as shown in FIG. 1, a width dimension of each of the one or more fixing floats is larger than a width dimension of each of the adjustable floats 300. According to the foregoing description that a use position of the adjustable floats 300 is the side waist or the abdomen of the user, by setting a width of each of the adjustable floats 300 to be smaller than a width of each of the one or more fixing floats, the plurality of sets of adjustable floats 300 may be connected to form a shape that affixes to the side waist of the user, which allows a greater movement space for the waist, enabling bending and improving comfort of the underwater fitness belt.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating an exemplary cross-section of a fixing float according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, an inner side surface of the fixing float 200 is in an arc shape parallel to the fixing strap 100. As shown in FIG. 2, a dashed line is a schematic diagram illustrating a waist cross-section, and when the inner side surface of the fixing float 200 is in the arc shape, the fixing float 200 may fit the waist of the user and avoid the underwater fitness belt from moving during the exercise of the user.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating an exemplary cross-section of another fixing float according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the fixing float 200 may include a first portion and a plurality of second portions 220, there are a plurality of thickness differences between the first portion and the plurality of second portions, a thickness of the first portion is greater than a plurality of thicknesses of the plurality of second portions, and the plurality of second portions are symmetrically distributed along the first portion. As shown in FIG. 3, a second portion 220-1 and another second portion 220-2 are symmetrically distributed along a centerline of the first portion 210. The first portion 210 and the plurality of the second portion 220 may be different portions of the fixing float 200 or may be one or more different fixing floats combined to form the fixing float 200. During the use of the underwater fitness belt, the movement of the user (such as twisting at the waist) may cause the underwater fitness belt to move, and by setting the thicknesses of the first portion and the plurality of second portions to be different, with the thickest position fitting into the lumbar vertebrae of the waist and concave into the body, the underwater fitness belt may be prevented from being deflected from side to side movement.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating a side view of an exemplary cross-section of a fixing float according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, an inner side surface and an outer side surface of the fixing float 200 forms an angle a (as shown in FIG. 4). In some embodiments, the angle a is within a range of 2 degrees to 22 degrees. In some embodiments, the angle a is within a range of 13 degrees to 18 degrees. In some embodiments, the angle a is within a range of 2 degrees to 18 degrees. In some embodiments, the angle a is within a range of 10 degrees to 23 degrees. By limiting the range of angle a, the fixing float 200 may better match a position where the waist and buttock of the user form an angle, better confining the fixing float above the buttock, preventing the underwater fitness belt from falling or sliding up and down due to up and down movements (such as leg lifting, squatting) when users exercise in the water.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating an exemplary structure of a use state of an underwater fitness belt according to some embodiments in the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, the fixing float 200 includes a first portion 210, a second portion 220, and a third portion 230. Each set of the plurality of sets of adjustable floats 300 includes two first adjustable floats 310 and two second adjustable floats 320, two first adjustable floats 310 and two second adjustable floats 320 are symmetrically shaped, respectively. In some embodiments, the first portion 210, the second portion 220, and the third portion 230 may be components of the fixing float 200 or separate floats (i.e., there are one or more fixing floats combined to form the fixing float 200).

In some embodiments, the first portion 210 is fixedly disposed at a center position of the fixing strap 100, length and width dimensions of the first portion 210 are relatively great, which is configured to perform a corresponding fit with the waist of the user. In some embodiments, there are two second portions 220 symmetrically provided on both sides of the first portion 210 and fixedly connected to the fixing strap 100, height and width dimensions of each of the two second portions 220 are less than the height and width dimensions of the first portion 210. Accordingly, the arrangement of the first portion 210 and the second portion 220 is to facilitate fitting the second portion 220 to an angle of the side waist of the user to achieve an effect of wrapping the waist of the user. In some embodiments, there are also two third portions 230 symmetrically disposed on a side of the two second portions 220 that is back from the first portion 210 and fixedly connected to the fixing strap 100, the width dimension of each of the two third portions 230 is the same as or slightly smaller than the width dimension of each of the two second portions 220. After actual wearing, the third portions 230 and the second portions 220 form a wrap around the side waist of the user, which is conducive to improving the stability of wearing the underwater fitness belt.

In some embodiments, the first portion 210, the second portion 220, and the third portion 230 are respectively provided at intervals by a preset distance (e.g., 1 cm). The preset distance may be determined based on the thicknesses and widths of the first portion 210, the second portion 220, and the third portion 230. For example, when the thicknesses and widths of the first portion 210, the second portion 220, and the third portion 230 are relatively great, to ensure an avoidance space after rotation, the preset distance is set to be relatively great (e.g., 3 cm). when the thicknesses and the widths of the first portion 210, the second portion 220, and the third portion 230, the preset distance is small (e.g., 1 cm). The waist of the user is in an oval shape, when the user wears the underwater fitness belt, the first portion 210 corresponds to the rear waist of the user, and the second portion 220 and the third portion 230 need to follow a curvature of the fixing strap 100 to rotate. By providing the first portion 210, the second portion 220, and the third portion 230 at intervals, an avoidance space is provided for the second portion 220 and the third portion 230 after rotation, thereby ensuring that the second portion 220 and the third portion 230 may fit against the skin of the user when the underwater fitness belt is worn.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, upper edges of the plurality of sets of adjustable floats 300 are in an arc shape, and the upper edges are substantially parallel to the fixing strap 100. In some embodiments, the upper edges of the plurality of sets of adjustable floats 300 may be chamfered by a plurality of lines. After the underwater fitness belt is worn by the user, the upper edges of the adjustable floats 300 are prone to rubbing against the body (e.g., contacting the chest of the body of the user) when the user performs certain exercises (e.g., bending over or lifting the leg). When the upper edges of the adjustable floats 300 are in the arc shape or chamfered, designs such as sharp corners, which may cause tingling discomfort to the body, can be avoided.

In some embodiments, the upper edges of the fixing float 200 may also be in the arc shape for ease of manufacture (e.g., using the same mold) or to adapt to other exercise needs (e.g., swimming) of the user.

In some embodiments, the plurality of sets of adjustable floats include a first set and a second set, and a width of the first set is greater than a width of the second set. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, the first set is a third portion 230 and the second set is a first adjustable float 310, a width of the third portion 230 is greater than a width of the first adjustable float 310. It should be noted that the third portion 230 may be an adjustable float or a fixing float. When the third portion 230 is detachably connected to the fixing strap, the third portion 230 is the adjustable float. When the third portion 230 is fixedly connected to the fixing strap, the third portion 230 is the fixing float. In some embodiments, the first set is a first adjustable float 310 and the second set is a second adjustable float 320, and a width of the first adjustable float 310 is greater than a width of the second adjustable float 320. In some embodiments, the first set is closer to the fixing float 200 (as shown in FIG. 5) relative to the second set. When adjustable floats are detached by detaching a particular set of adjustable floats in order to adjust the buoyancy of the underwater fitness belt, it may be convenient to prioritize the removal of the adjustable floats with a smaller width.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating an exemplary underwater fitness belt according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, heights of the plurality of sets of adjustable floats 300 include a first sequence, and the first sequence is a decreasing sequence. Exemplarily, the first sequence is 18, 16, 15, 14, with the unit being centimeters. As shown in FIG. 6, the plurality of sets of adjustable floats include first adjustable floats 310, second adjustable floats 320, third adjustable floats 340, and fourth adjustable floats 350, with heights of 18 cm, 16 cm, 15 cm, and 14 cm, respectively. After the underwater fitness belt is worn by the user, the heights of the plurality of sets of adjustable floats decrease progressively, allowing the adjustable floats to fit a shape of the waist of the user. For example, after the underwater fitness belt is worn, the heights of the plurality of sets of adjustable floats are higher at the side waist than at the chest, and lower at the abdomen than at ribs. The decrease of the heights of the plurality of sets of adjustable floats avoids interference with the movement of the user (e.g., lateral swaying and leaning over), thereby ensuring the comfort during the exercise of the user. At the same time, the lowest set of adjustable floats is closest to the center of the abdomen of the user, so that when the user bends over or raises the leg, the adjustable floats may reduce the pressure on the abdomen of the user during squeezing the abdomen because the adjustable floats are relatively short.

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating an exemplary structure of an unfolded state of an underwater fitness belt according to some embodiments in the present disclosure. FIG. 8 is a structural diagram illustrating a top view of an underwater fitness belt according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 7, the fixing strap 100 includes a strap body 130, a first connecting end 110, a second connecting end 120, an end portion of the first connecting end 110 is detachably connected to an end portion of the second connecting end 120. In some embodiments, the first portion 210, the second portion 220, and the third portion 230 of the fixing float 200 are disposed side by side in a direction from a center of the strap body 130 to the first connecting end 110 and in a direction from the center of the strap body 130 to the second connecting end 120, and the fixing float 200 is fixedly connected to the strap body 130.

In some embodiments, the end portion of the first connecting end 110 is detachably connected to the end portion of the second connecting end 120 in a variety of manners. For example, the end portion of the first connecting end 110 is detachably connected to the end portion of the second connecting end 120 through a pin-and-buckle connection. The end portions are respectively provided with a buckle frame and a buckle pin, the buckle pin is inserted into a hold of the first connecting end 110 or a hold the second connecting end 120, and the buckle frame snaps the buckle pin in place. As another example, the end portion of the first connecting end 110 is detachably connected to the end portion of the second connecting end 120 through a snap connection, the end portions are respectively provided with components having a protrusion or a groove, the protrusion is inserted into the groove for fixation and the protrusion may be released by squeezing a portion where the groove is disposed.

In some embodiments, the fixing float 200 may be fixedly connected to the strap body 130 through a plurality of manners, for example, the fixing float 200 is connected to the strap body 130 by adhesive connection (e.g., polyurethane waterproof adhesive) or fixing member connection (e.g., fixed by a stitching line). The stitching line is used to sew and wrap fabric, leather, and other products through a sewing operation (e.g., a sewing machine). By fixing the fixing float 200 through the stitching line, on one hand, strength needs for fixing the float may be ensured, and on the other hand, the use of hard fixing structure may be avoided, thereby preventing the risk of the user being scratched by a hard object during exercise.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 7, and FIG. 8, the end portion of the first connecting end 110 is provided with a first fastening member 111, and the first fastening member 111 is slidably connected to the strap body 130. The end portion of the second connecting end 120 is provided with a second fastening member 121, and the second fastening member 121 is slidably connected to the strap body 130. The first fastening member 111 is detachably connected to the second fastening member 121. In some embodiments, the length of the underwater fitness belt is determined based on the width dimensions of the adjustable floats, the count of adjustable floats, a relative position of the first fastening member 111 to the strap body 130, and a relative position of the second fastening member 121 to the strap body 130. As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 7, the first fastening member 111 and the second fastening member 121 may be provided as a socket of a sleeve snap-fit type, the socket forms a snap-fit connection through elasticity of the material itself and a corresponding structure (i.e., a slot), which may be convenient for the user to install or detach the underwater fitness belt, and may facilitate the user in adjusting the positions of the first fastening member 111 and the second fastening member 121 on the strap body 130 to ensure simplicity and convenience during the use of the underwater fitness belt.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 7, two first adjustable floats 310 are symmetrically disposed on both sides of the fixing float 200 and detachably connected to the fixing strap 100. A plurality of second adjustable floats 320 are symmetrically provided on one side of the two first adjustable floats 310 that is back away from the fixing float 200, and the plurality of the second adjustable floats 320 are detachably connected to the fixing strap 100. When disposing, a width of each of the two first adjustable floats 310 is same as a width of each of the plurality of the second adjustable floats 320, which is convenient to follow a curvature change of the fixing strap 100 to fit the skin of the user. In actual use, because the first adjustable floats 310 and the second adjustable floats 320 are detachably connected to the fixing strap 100, the user may detach the second adjustable floats 320 or the first adjustable floats 310 according the own situation and the use of the exercise needs, to provide a space for adjusting the positions of the first fastening member 111 and the second adjustable fastening members 121, thereby realizing an effect of changing a length dimension of the underwater fitness belt.

In some embodiments, the foregoing first adhesive surface and the second adhesive surface may be specifically set as two portions of a Velcro or a climbing strap, the principle of which is that the first adhesive surface is provided with a plurality of soft hairs with loops, and the second adhesive surface is provided with a plurality of hard hairs with hooks, and the soft hairs and the hard hairs form a hooked fit when the first adhesive surface and the second adhesive surface fit to each other, thereby realizing a fitting fixation. The first adhesive surface and the second adhesive surface may realize a waterproof fit and be used repeatedly.

In some embodiments, the adhesive member 330 may be a pressing snap-button provided on the fixing strap 100 and the adjustable floats 300, after wearing the underwater fitness belt through the pressing snap-button, it is possible to detach or add the adjustable floats 300 without detaching the fixing strap, simply by detaching the pressing snap-button Exemplarily, a process of use of the underwater fitness belt is as follows.

As shown in FIG. 5, the user fixes the fixing float 200 to the rear waist, wraps the first connecting end 110 and the second connecting end 120 around the waist, and finally realizes the wearing of the underwater fitness belt through the combination of the first fastening member 111 and the second fastening member 121.

The underwater fitness belt provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure may achieve the following effect: the user may adjust the length of the underwater fitness belt according to an actual situation of a waist circumference and the needs for exercise so that the underwater fitness belt may tightly fit the waist of the user, and an occurrence of edema or a displacement of the underwater fitness belt due to the mismatch of sizes during exercise may be avoided.

FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram illustrating another exemplary underwater fitness belt according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 12, there are two fixing straps 100 disposed side-by-side along a height direction of the fixing float 200. In some embodiments, at least one of the two fixing straps 100 is located at a bottom end of the height direction of the fixing float 200. In some embodiments, both ends of the two fixing straps 100 may be separately fixed (e.g., the two fixing straps 100 are both provided with the foregoing first fastening member 111 and the second fastening member 121). In some embodiments, the two fixing straps may also be fixed together at both ends, for example, the both ends of the two fixing straps 100 are threaded into the same set of the first fastening member 111 and the second fastening member 121. As another example, the two fixing straps 100 may be in a roped shape, both ends of the rope-shaped two fixing straps are fixed to the same spring-loaded rope buckle, and the rope-shaped fixing straps 100 are fixed by the spring to form a sleeve body of the underwater fitness belt.

In some embodiments, when the user wears the underwater fitness belt, the sizes of the different fixing straps 100 may be adjusted so that the sizes of the waist circumference corresponding to different height positions of the underwater fitness belt are different. As previously described, the fixing strap 100 at the bottom is close to the buttocks, and the fixing strap 100 in the middle is close to the waist, a corresponding size (i.e., a waist circumference size) of the fixing strap 100 in the middle is smaller than that of the fixing strap 100 at the bottom, which may correspondingly match the position above the buttocks and the waist with the smallest waist circumference of the user. Understandably, at this time, gaps between the adjustable floats at a high end are small, gaps between the adjustable floats at a bottom end are large, and the gaps of the adjustable floats may be adapted to the two fixing straps 100 corresponding to different waist circumference sizes respectively. By setting the two fixing straps, the underwater fitness belt may be made to fit both the buttocks and the waist to be more stable in use.

In some embodiments, at least one of the two fixing straps 100 may be an elastic strap. The elastic strap may be able to expand and contract within a certain range, and there is also a certain cushioning space for the waist circumference after the user wears the underwater fitness belt.

FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram illustrating another exemplary underwater fitness belt according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 13, the fixing strap includes a plurality of sets of first connecting members 140 and second connecting members 150 that cooperate with each other. The first connecting members 140 and the second connecting members 150 are disposed on both sides of a width direction of the adjustable floats 300 and on both sides of a width direction of the fixing float 200, respectively. A first connecting member 140 and a second connecting member 150 in each of the plurality of sets are detachably connected for fixing or detaching an adjacent adjustable floats 300 and the fixing float 200, or for fixing or detaching different sets of adjacent adjustable floats.

In some embodiments, the first connecting member 140 and the second connecting member 150 may be pull teeth of a zipper (shown in FIG. 13), and are connected in a pull-fit manner. In some embodiments, the first connecting member 140 and the second connecting member 150 are buttons and eyelets, or pressing snap-buttons, or interlocking snap fasteners (not shown in FIG. 13), and are connected in a snap-fit manner. The form of the snap-buttons may be similar to buttons on clothing. The form of the interlocking snap fasteners may be an outwardly protruding hook-shaped structure mating with a groove or a hole, and the hook-shaped structure and the groove or the hole are locked against each other. Understandably, to ensure a smooth connection, the first connecting member 140 and the second connecting member 150 provided on both sides of the adjustable floats 300 and the fixing float 200 are of the same type to facilitate fixing and detaching. The two first connecting members 140 and the second connecting member 150 away from the fixing float (i.e., the center of the underwater fitness belt) are connected to form the sleeve body, at which time the waist circumstance size of the underwater fitness belt is determined by the width and the count of the adjustable floats 300.

In some embodiments, the first connecting member 140 and the second connecting member 150 for forming the sleeve body and the first connecting member 140 and second connecting member 150 in the middle (i.e., adjacent adjustable floats 300) may be of different forms. For example, the first connecting member 140 and second connecting member 150 at both ends may be the forgoing buttons and eyelets or snap-buttons, etc., and the first connecting member 140 and second connecting member 150 in the middle may be connected through a pull-fit manner.

In some embodiments, a position connecting the first connecting members 140 or the second connecting members 150 to the adjustable floats 300 or the fixing float 200 is provided with an elastic member 160, and elastic member 160 may expand and contract. For example, the elastic member 160 may be an elastic band made of a woven material. A large range of adjustment of the waist circumstance size of the underwater fitness belt is realized by increasing or decreasing the count of adjustable floats 300, and a small range of further adjustment may be realized by the elasticity of the elastic member 160.

In some embodiments, merely the elastic member 160 may be provided between a plurality of fixing floats (e.g., between the aforementioned first portion 210 and the second portion 220, or between the second portion 220 and the third portion 230) without providing the first connecting member 140 and the second connecting member 150. The size of the fixing float 200 may be adjusted in a small range through the elastic member 160, thereby adjusting the waist circumstance size of the underwater fitness belt in a small range.

FIG. 14 is a structural diagram illustrating an exemplary fixing strap according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram illustrating an exemplary A-A cross-section of a fixing strap according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 14, a fixing strap includes a parcel bag 170, a third connecting end 180, and a fourth connecting end 190, and the third connecting end 180 and the fourth connecting end 190 are disposed at both ends of the parcel bag 170. In some embodiments, the parcel bag 170 is provided with an accommodating cavity 171, an opening 172, and a bonding portion, and the adjustable floats or the fixing float is placed in the accommodating cavity 171 (e.g., by propping the opening 172 open) through the opening 172, and is detachably fixed to the parcel bag through the bonding portion. In some embodiments, the third connecting end 180 is detachably connected to the fourth connecting end 190.

In some embodiments, the parcel bag 170 may be made of an elastic fiber material, such as nylon, or polyester. In some embodiments, an opening of the parcel bag 170 faces away from the body side, and the parcel bag 170 is made of a smooth material similar to a swimsuit (e.g., a low coefficient of friction material, polyurethane, polyester, and nylon, etc.). In some embodiments, the bonding portion may be a reusable glue or similar in structure to the first adhesive surface and the second adhesive surface described previously. In some embodiments, the parcel bag 170 may also be provided without a bonding portion. For example, by dividing the parcel bag 170 into a plurality of regions (e.g., by stitching lines), each region corresponds to the adjustable floats or the fixing float. As another example, the adjustable floats within the parcel bag are fixed by a pull-fit manner as shown in the foregoing FIG. 13. In some embodiments, the fixing float 200 may be fixed to the parcel bag 170, i.e., the fixing float 200 may not be detachable from the parcel bag. In some embodiments, the third connecting end 180 and the fourth connecting end 190 may be detachably connected in a variety of manners, which may be found in the structure of the first connecting end 110 and the second connecting end 120 described previously, and will not be repeated herein.

In some embodiments, the parcel bag 170 may be in the form of a full wrap (as shown in FIG. 13); or the parcel bag 170 may be in the form of a partial wrap. For example, the parcel bag 170 merely wraps bottom ends of the adjustable floats, the bonding portion is provided at a middle position inside the parcel bag 170, and the adjustable floats are fixed to the bonding portion.

Understandably, when the adjustable floats are fixed using a band-shaped fixing strap (as shown in the aforementioned FIG. 5), the adjustable floats may flip when there is a high resistance in the water. By providing a parcel bag, the situation in which the adjustable floats flip may be reduced. At the same time, the parcel bag is made of a smooth material similar to the bathing suit, which also reduces friction generated by the contact between the underwater fitness belt and the body.

In some embodiments, the fixing float and adjustable floats may be integrally molded of a lightweight waterproof material (without an additional waterproof layer) such as polyethylene foam, polyurethane foam, etc.

In some embodiments, an interior of each of the fixing floats and each of the adjustable floats is provided with a foam board, and an exterior of the each of the one or more fixing floats and/or the each of the adjustable floats is provided with a waterproof layer, and the waterproof layer wraps around the foam board. The foam board may be an integrally molded sponge (referred to as sponge for short), the sponge is a material made by foaming plastic particles, the sponge has a series of features such as elasticity, lightweight, fast pressure sensitive fixing, easy to use, bending freely, ultra-thin volume, reliable performance, and so on. The use of features of non-absorbent and great buoyancy of the sponge may provide the user with a required buoyancy in the process of exercise, the use of feature of lightweight of the sponge may avoid increasing extra burden to the user during the process of exercise. The waterproof layer may be made of waterproof fabric, and using the waterproof layer to wrap around the sponge may prevent the sponge from absorbing water, thereby ensuring the stability of the buoyancy in the process of use.

In some embodiments, a material of the underwater fitness belt in contact with the skin (e.g., adjustable floats on the abdomen and the side waist, the fixing strap close to the skin) may be a low coefficient of friction material or is a low coefficient of friction material coating. The low coefficient of friction material may include polyurethane, polyester, nylon, etc. The low coefficient of friction material coating includes a hydrophobic coating, a silicone coating, etc. The low coefficient of friction material or the low coefficient of friction material coating may reduce friction with other parts of the body during the use of the underwater fitness belt and improve the comfort.

In some embodiments, an interior of each of the one or more fixing floats or each of the adjustable floats is provided with an inflatable cavity, and a surface of the inflatable cavity is provided with an inflatable valve, a buoyancy of the each of the one or more fixing floats or the adjustable floats is adjusted by adjusting a volume of gas in the inflatable cavity. In some embodiments, the material of the fixing float or the adjustable float may be a Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic film, latex with elasticity, reinforced fiber, polyester, etc. It should be understood that when the inflatable valve is closed, the fixing float or adjustable float is sealed, and the buoyancy of the fixing float or adjustable float may be adjusted by adjusting the size of the volume of gas. The inflatable valve may include an inflatable hole and a plug provided in the fixing float or adjustable float; the manners of inflatable may include blowing air inward, inflating by using an air pump, etc. In some embodiments, a portion of the fixing floats or the adjustable floats may be made of a non-elastic material, as shown in FIG. 4, and the position affixed to the waist of the human body may be a non-elastic material, and one side away from the body is an elastic material (the elastic material may undergo a certain deformation with the amount of gas). By limiting the material of one side of the underwater fitness belt close to the body and then limiting the shape of the underwater fitness belt, it may ensure that the underwater fitness belt fits the body.

In some embodiments, the fixing floats and adjustable floats may be different cavities of the underwater fitness belt. For example, the underwater fitness belt is a multi-cavity structure similar to the foregoing parcel bag separated a plurality of regions, where the opening of the parcel bag is replaced with the inflatable valve. When the inflatable valve is closed, the parcel bag is an impermeable sealed structure. Exemplarily, the multi-cavity structure divides the parcel bag into a plurality of cavities, and each cavity is correspondingly provided with an inflatable valve, by inflating different cavities, the buoyancies of different positions of the underwater fitness belt are adjusted, thereby adjusting the buoyancies of different positions of the body of the user.

An exemplary operation of use of the adjustable floats is as follows: the user confirms a position or count of adjustable floats to be inflated according to the needs before use, and inflates the adjustable floats using a pump or an air pump, and when wears the underwater fitness belt after inflation, the user fixes the underwater fitness belt to the waist through the adhesive member 330 of the aforementioned FIG. 7 or FIG. 8, or the fixing strap as shown in FIG. 13, or other aforementioned manners of detachable connection of the adjustable floats and the fixing strap.

FIG. 16 is a schematic diagram illustrating an exemplary state of a backup airbag according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram illustrating an exemplary structure of a backup airbag according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 16 and FIG. 17, the underwater fitness belt further includes a backup airbag 400 that includes a first cavity 411, a second cavity 412, a switch 421, and a valve 422. In some embodiments, the switch 421 is disposed on an exterior of the backup airbag 400 for controlling opening and closing of the valve 422. The valve 422 is disposed between the first cavity 411 and the second cavity 412 for controlling communication or closing of the first cavity 411 and the second cavity 412. In some embodiments, the first cavity 411 stores a first chemical substance 431, and the second cavity 412 stores a second chemical substance 432, and a reaction of the first chemical substance 431 and the second chemical substance 462 is capable of producing gas to increase the buoyancy of the backup airbag.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 16, the backup airbag 400 may be similar in shape to the adjustable floats and detachably fixed to an adjacent adjustable float, the manner of detachable fixation is the same as a manner for fixing the adjustable floats described previously. In some embodiments, the backup airbag 400 may be a component of one of the adjustable floats or fixing floats, and is fixed to one of the adjustable floats or fixing floats through a fixing manner, such as a stitching line, as described previously.

In some embodiments, the first cavity 411 wraps around the second cavity 412, and the material forming the first cavity 411 may be a foregoing elastic material, and the gas produced by contact of the first chemical substance 431 and the second may cause the backup airbag to expand from an initial state of FIG. 16 to an opening state.

In some embodiments, the switch 421 may be a waterproof push button and the valve 422 may be a small solenoid valve, and the switch 421 and the valve 422 are connected through a circuit 423. When the switch 421 is pressed, the valve 422 opens, the first cavity 411 and the second cavity 412 are connected, and the first chemical substance 431 and the second chemical substance 432 react to produce the gas.

In other embodiments, the switch 421 may be a long piston connected to the valve 422, and the valve 422 may be a short piston, and a length of the long piston is much longer than a length of the short piston (e.g., three times the length of the short piston). The long piston is fixedly connected to the short piston, e.g., using a rope of a fixed length, etc. When the long piston is pulled by the user for a certain distance (which does not break a sealing state of the backup airbag 400), the short piston may be fully opened, thereby connecting the first cavity 411 and the second cavity 412.

In some embodiments, the first chemical substance 431 is a solid substance or liquid substance, and correspondingly, the second chemical substance 432 is a liquid substance or a solid substance. The pressure in the cavity containing the solid substance (e.g., the first cavity 411) is less than the pressure in the cavity containing the liquid substance (e.g., the second cavity 412). At this time, when the valve 422 is opened, due to the pressure difference and the strong fluidity of the liquid, the liquid substance may rapidly flow to both sides of the low pressure, thereby realizing a rapid mixing of the solid and liquid chemical substances and the generation of the gas, and ensuring the timeliness and reliability of the generation of the gas. In some embodiments, the first chemical substance and the second chemical substance may have various forms, for example, the first chemical substance is a sodium bicarbonate solid, and the second chemical substance is a dilute hydrochloric acid liquid.

In some embodiments, the backup airbag 400 further includes a refill port 441 and a refill port 442, the refill port 441 and the refill port 442 are provided with sealing plugs (e.g., plastic caps for sealing) matching the refill port 441 and the refill port 442, respectively. After releasing the gas in each cavity by opening the refill port, the first chemical substance or the second chemical substance may be refilled with the corresponding dosage, and the sealing plug may be capped, then the backup airbag may be put into use again, which is simple, convenient, and environmentally friendly and practical.

The backup airbag may be actively turned on to inflate when the user feels that there is an accidental situation (such as cramps, or choking), increasing the safety of the underwater fitness belt. When the user is out of danger (such as after going ashore), the user may open the refill port to deflate, as well as refill the chemical substance to improve a practicality of the underwater fitness belt.

FIG. 19 is a schematic diagram illustrating an exemplary structure of another connecting portion according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, lower edges (positions of lower edges as shown in FIG. 5) of the fixing float 200 or the adjustable floats 300 may also be provided with one or more detachably connected devices, similar to the first connecting member 140 and the second connecting member 150 provided between the plurality of sets of adjustable floats 300 as described previously, which allows for other floats to be provided on the lower edges, the other floats being detachably connected to the fixing float 200 or the adjustable floats 300. In some embodiments, a connecting portion may be provided on the lower edges or outer side surfaces (away from the body side) of the fixing float 200 or the adjustable floats 300, and the connecting portion is configured to connect to the other floats.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 18, the connecting portion includes a groove 511 and a protrusion 512 disposed on different floats, the groove 511 has a step feature on the outer side, which may hinder the protrusion 512 from being dislodged from the groove 511 when the step feature is connected. In some embodiments, the protrusion 512 is made of the elastic material, and the protrusion 512 is tucked into the groove 511 by using a deformation compression of the protrusion 512. In some embodiments, the cavity of the groove 511 is a rectangular body cavity and a cylindrical body cavity in order from the outside to the inside, and a width of the rectangular body cavity is much smaller than a diameter of the cylindrical body cavity. The protrusion 512 is in a shape of a rectangular body. After the protrusion 512 is tucked into the cylindrical body cavity of the groove 511 and rotated by 90 degrees, a width direction of the rectangular body cavity catches the protrusion 512.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 19, the connecting portion includes a conical groove 513, a conical protrusion 514, and the conical protrusion 514 is larger than the conical groove 513. When the conical protrusion 514 is tucked into the conical groove 513, the conical protrusion 514 may fill the whole cavity, while the conical surfaces in contact may be well sealed due to extrusion.

In some embodiments, the other floats may have a variety of shapes, such as triangular, streamlined, fan-shaped, fish-fin-shaped, etc. The other floats may be connected to an end surface or an outer side surface of the fixing float as desired. For example, a fish-fin-shaped float may be connected to the outer side surface of the fixing float or the adjustable float by a connecting portion, and the fish-fin-shaped float may be a plate-like member having a streamlined curve and gradually narrowing in width away from the body. The fish-fin-shaped float may reduce water resistance in a forward direction when moving through the water.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a fitness device that includes the aforementioned underwater fitness belt. Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a fitness device or the underwater fitness belt that may be used for a variety of underwater exercises such as water walking, swimming, underwater calisthenics, and underwater biking, as well as in scenarios such as underwater physical therapy, muscle building, and water training.
