For many people, it is a big problem to find a suitable and available exercise. Walking and jogging has become a popular manner of exercise.
However, pure walking or jogging can only obtain a limited effect. There is no equipment used for walking or jogging in the market. There is no equipment for detecting users' health status in the market. And there is no equipment used in dark or low light situations.
An object of the invention is to provide a waist massager, which can massage a user's waist when he/she is walking or jogging.
To accomplish the above object, the waist massager of the invention includes an annular massage assembly and a grip assembly. The annular massage assembly is composed of a ring body with a plurality of roller sets arranged on an inside thereof. The grip assembly is connected to the annular massage assembly to be able to push and pull the roller sets transversely.
Also, the invention has advantages as follows:
1) The waist massager of the invention is worn on the waist of a walker or jogger, so that the walker or jogger may hold the grips to rotate horizontally. As a result, the walker's or jogger's waist is massaged by the surrounding roller sets.
2) The roller sets which can rotate 360 degrees may achieve a relaxative and warm-up effect to the walker or jogger to avoid possible injuries.
3) The waist massager is further provided with an electronic watch. The watch has a display for showing time, calorie, distance and heart rate. Additionally, the watch will alarm the user when he/her heart rate is overhigh.
4) The waist massager is further provided with an LED lamp to provide a safety effect when the user is using the massager in a dark or low light situation.

The grip assembly 100 includes a front rod 10, two grips 20 and two connectors 30. An electronic watch 11 is fastened on the front rod 10. The front rod 10 is provided with an outer thread 12 and two connecting blocks 13 at two ends thereof. Each of the grips 20 includes a grip member 23, a first portion 21 and a second portion 22. The connecting block 13 is received in the trough 211 in the first portion 21. The connecting block 13 is provided with a retractable positioning ball 131 to be embedded into a hole 212 for positioning. The grip member 23 is pivotally connected to the second portion 22. A multi-sectional positioning mechanism with a 180-degree range is provided between the grip member 23 and the second portion 22. The multi-sectional positioning mechanism includes a retractable ball 221 and a series of teeth 231 in a semicircular arrangement. The second portion 22 is pivotally connected to the first portion 21 and a multi-sectional positioning mechanism with a 360-degree range is provided between the first and second portions 21, 22. The connectors 30 are separately provided with inner threads 31 to screw the outer thread 12 and the distance between the connectors 30 may be adjusted by rotating the connectors 30 for matching users with different waist sizes.
The ring body 81 is composed of two arcked rods 40. An end of each of the connectors 30 is pivotally connected to a front end 41 of each of the arcked rods 40. The two arcked rods 40 substantially form a ring. Each of the roller sets 50 is formed with protrusions 511. The electronic watch 11 and the arcked rods 40 are provided with fixing holes 42 for connecting the roller sets 50. Each of the fixing holes 42 is formed with a rotating trough 421 and four guiding slots 422. The roller sets 50 can be set into a horizontal mode or a vertical mode. Each of the roller sets 50 is composed of a bracket 51 and two rollers 52. The bracket 51 is further disposed with a spring 53 and a cap 54, which are received in the fixing hole 42. Thus the roller sets 50 can normally protrude from the arcked rods 40 and trend the center of the arcked rods 40. A user may hold the grips 20 to sway the arcked rods 40 and make the roller sets 50 flexibly press his/her waist.
Each of the arcked rods 40 is provided with an assembling hole 43 for connecting an L-shaped handle 60 with an insert. An outer end of the L-shaped handle 60 is provided with a C-shaped frame 61 for hitching a user's arm. A user may sway the arcked rods 40 by swinging his/her arms hitched in the C-shaped frames 61. The L-shaped handle 60 is selective to be installed or removed as shown in
The roller sets 50 may be rotated 360 degrees. A user's waist can be relaxed and warmed up by reciprocating or swaying the roller sets 50 to avoid injuries.
The waist massager can help an overweight user to effectively consume calories. A jogger may hold the grips 20 to sway the roller sets 50 to massage his/her waist. A walker may hold the L-shaped handles 60 with C-shaped frames 61 and naturally sway to massage his/her waist.
The waist massager 1 is further provided with an electronic watch 11 with a sensor electrically connected to the grips 20. Body conditions of a user can be transmitted from the grips 20 to the electronic watch 11 when the user is holding the grips 20. The electronic watch 11 also has a USB receptacle, an MP3 player, a display for showing time, calories, distance and heart rate. And the electronic watch may make an alert to the user when his/her heart rate is overhigh.
