Inventive arrangement provides the mode of a kind of uniqueness to control the rolling of stability ball, use surely trainer simultaneously Determine during ball is trained, to add the resistance being applied in trainer's body musculature.Figure 1A provides stability ball 1 An example, find that inventive apparatus described herein benefits by prior art.

The present invention includes " cage type part " or " enclosing element ", and this cage type part or enclosing element are made up of a plurality of elastic webbing or rib, this A little bands or rib are locked in an attachment structure or integral with this attachment structure, in order to form radial structure, so work as group When being fitted together, this device partly, the most cup-shaped or surround the bottom of stability ball to control stability ball Motion.Elastic webbing or rib have at least one plane tilted or wing on its outer surface, in order to when stability ball is basic along one Smooth surface along any direction be rolled off its home position (such as resting position) time, plane or the wing of this inclination are basic with this Smooth surface contacts, in order to provide an increase, opposing or balance resistance to stop ball to leave its home position.When Trainer is when being trained motion by stability ball, and this resistance can be delivered to trainer valuably.

Now in detail and referring first to accompanying drawing, particularly shown in Fig. 1-6, figure shows according to training devices's of the present invention First example.Training devices 2 is made up of multiple elastic rib assemblies 10, and these rib assemblies are bent into semi-circular arc or arch, with Just in radial structure, form multiple rib 3 widened, and kept equidistantly sowing discord by circular strip 4 or other cincture attachment structure Every, by being slidably matched, the circumference of stability ball 1 is at height 7, and such as, it is be just below or in the midline of stability ball.This Sample allows device to apply resistance and stability in the most functional training on the whole working surface of stability ball.According to surely Determining the shape of ball 1, highly 7 valuably more than ball center line or slightly above, in order to provides on ball and preferably grips.All right It is contemplated that this most just extends through the midplane of ball, and the most slight curving ball with the top accommodates opening. In this embodiment, by elastic training ball, training devices to strengthen gripping, and can suppress ball using by extrusion ball lightly Journey is rolled off training devices 2.Rib assembly 10 with about constituting concave hemispherical " cage type together with 4 in the lower half of balanced ball 1 Part " or " enclosing element ", during thus stability ball is firmly seated in device 2.In this illustration, rib assembly 10 is at its divergence end It is anchored removedly at 8 or is fixed to carry 4.Although being shown that what three rib assemblies 10 produced in this embodiment Article six, rib 3, but this is only used for unrestricted explanation.It is rolled off the size of required resistance according to stability ball 1, constitutes The number of the rib assembly 10 needed for device 2 can change.The number of the rib assembly used is the biggest, the motion to stability ball The resistance provided is the biggest.

In this embodiment, the center substrate 11 of device 2 is formed on the overlapping intersection of rib assembly 10.When putting When putting on the surface of substantially flat, the center substrate 11 of device 2 provides a basic bit for this stability ball 1 in the presence of ball Put or resting position.Rib 3 dissipates from this center substrate 11 is radial in the way of Bellis perennis fresh idea.In order to preferably constitute with stable The spherical the most consistent concavity hemispherical " cage type part " of the lower half of ball or " enclosing element ", the diameter narrowest part of rib 3 Size be positioned on the point of center substrate 11, and constantly broaden towards the radiation tail end 8 of rib 3.But, the present invention it can also be envisaged that As follows: rib 3 is also configurable to have any belt like shape, including the band that diameter over the entire length is identical, or, rib 3 can Carried out whole replacement (not shown) (i.e. without separating into multiple rib assemblies 10) by the cup-shaped dome part of single molding and surround stability ball Whole lower half.

Be included in the outer surface of each rib 3 (or constitute other knot any of the enclosing element of the lower half of stability ball The outer surface of structure) it is a pair inclined-plane 9 or " wing " 5, this inclined-plane or the wing substantially extend with the longitudinal axis parallel of rib, and from rib Outer surface extends perpendicularly out.Each inclined-plane or the outreach of the wing 5 or inclination angle stably increase, and it is close at the band 4 of device 2 simultaneously The divergence of rib 3 or anchor end 8.The rib 3 of assembly of the invention 2 is set up inclined-plane or rolling that the wing 5 is stability ball 1 provides more Big resistance, thus need bigger muscle to make great efforts could moving ball so that it is (be exactly ball hanging down when static from its home position Upright foot point) roll.Figure 30 and 31 with plotting mode show degree that ball rolls from its home position with by rib 3 inclined-plane or Opposing between drag size or equilibrium relation produced by person's wing 5.In the training process, stability ball 1 tilts naturally with rolling From its home position (i.e. resting position), for user be a kind of controlled stationary mode be preferable.And owing to setting up Assembly of the invention 2, when ball is rolled off its home position along the surface of a substantially flat along any direction, the inclined-plane of rib 3 Or the surface with this substantially flat is contacted by the wing 5, in order to ball away from its home position in the way of a kind of continuous increase Motion provides ever-increasing, opposing an or resistance for balance.In other words, the degree that ball is rolled off from its home position is got over Greatly, the surface area that inclined-plane or the wing 5 contact with the surface of substantially flat obstruction will be the biggest, thus the motion to ball provides an increasing Big resistance.The resistance produced by inclined-plane or the wing 5 of rib 3 orders about or makes ball be partial to its initial home position backward.Therefore, by Training activity in user can make ball rotate in one direction, thus rib can increase resistance and make ball intrinsic along another direction The most controlled motion stabilization, thus training for promotion effect.Having innovatively, training devices 2 of the present invention is stable same of ball Time still can make ball perform its function and make user stand increase resistance.

Looking back Fig. 1-6, in this embodiment, the band 4 of device 2 is anchored along it removedly between rib assembly 10 Or the length between being fixed to the point on 4 has the curve 6 of interval.So, it is anchored or fixing point can be clear from separately, from And user identification can be facilitated, and reduce the space vestige of device 2 in stability ball 1.

Can be made up of solid nylon with 4 and rib assembly 10, but be not limited to this.But, exist including HI high impact plastics Other interior material is also feasible.

Additionally, device 2 can comprise additional elastic webbing training system (not shown), it allows user to be attached by elastic webbing To device, thus increase resistance exercise component for device.

Fig. 7-17 shows second example according to training devices of the present invention.With the embodiment phase shown in Fig. 1-6 As, training devices 2 by immediately around the circumference of stability ball 1 and be positioned at the band 4 below center line and constitute, also four (as Fig. 7- Shown in 11) or three (as shown in Figures 12 and 13) rib assemblies 10a, 10b and 10c, elastic bending semicircular in shape arc, removable and etc. Away from ground with 4 the recess of inner surface 14 or breach 13 at be fixed to carry 4 (as Figure 13 and 14 is illustrated in detail in).Rib assembly 10a- C with constitute radial " cage type part " or " enclosing element " with together with 4 in the lower half of ball 1.But, in this embodiment, The most not there is with 4 the curve of interval, the substitute is, there is with 4 constant width over the entire length Degree 12.As shown in FIG. 11 and 12, the rib assembly 10a-c heart wherein collectively forms center substrate 11, in ball is placed in device 2 Time, can be that stability ball 1 provides basic or resting position when this center substrate 11 is placed on the surface of a substantially flat.

Figure 15-17 shows in detail one of them of the rib assembly 10a-c shown in Figure 12.Each rib assembly limits two ribs 3a-b, 3c-d and 3e-f, these ribs are with wheel and the compound mode of spoke from center substrate 11 divergence, and thus rib is along leaving center base The direction at the end 11 constantly broadens.Each rib has a pair 9 inclined-planes 5 raised, and this inclined-plane is the most flat along the longitudinal axis direction of rib Row extends.Each radiation tail end 8 of rib assembly has the trapezoidal protrusion 17 for being fixed on 4 by rib assembly and connects Pin 16.In order to be fixed on by each end 8 of rib assembly 10a-c on band 4, in the inner surface 14 of 4, form corresponding number There is trapezoidal recess or the breach 13 (as shown in Figs. 13 and 14) of keyhole slots 15.This trapezoidal recess or breach 13 are configured as and rib The trapezoidal of assembly highlights 17 the most corresponding or couplings, and each keyhole slots 15 of trapezoidal recess or breach is configured as protecting Stay the connecting pin 16 of rib assembly.The trapezoidal protrusion 17 of trapezoidal recess or breach 13 and rib assembly by making band matches, and Making the keyhole slots 15 of band and the connecting pin 16 of rib assembly match, rib assembly is removably mounted on band.

Fig. 7-17 shows the consecutive steps assembling training devices 2, and is embodied as illustrating according to one of the present invention Go out and how training devices 2 is applied in stability ball 1.Figure 25-29 shows the schematic diagram of assembly line process.In the first step In Zhou, as shown in figure 25, rib assembly 10 is placed between stability ball 1 and band 4 with the structure of a kind of substantially planar radiation, wherein The ribbed surfaces of rib assembly faces downwardly band.In second and third step, as shown in figures 26 and 27, band is made to do fluid motion, The elasticity intrinsic owing to forming the material of rib assembly 10, thus rib assembly 10 can be booted up into semi-circular arc or bowl-shape. As a result, rib assembly constitutes the concave shape seat with center substrate 11, and ball 1 is just placed in wherein.In the next step, such as Figure 28 Shown in, the rib 3 of each rib assembly 10 is corresponding by make connecting pin 16 slip in the inner surface being formed at band on its end 8 Keyhole slots 15 (not shown) is removably mounted on band 4.Once rib assembly is fixing removedly or is anchored on tape, such as figure Shown in 29, the device 2 formed will link closely and be looped around on the latter half of ball 1.

Described above is in the present invention numerous imagination structure for rib assembly is anchored or fixes structure on tape One of them example.Such as, Figure 18-20 shows the 3rd example according to training devices of the present invention, this and Fig. 1-17 institute The example shown is very much like, simply the end 8 of rib assembly 10 and different with the fixed mechanism between 4.As Figure 19 is detailed Carefully illustrate that there is on the radiation tail end 8 of each rib 3 U-shaped hook or projection 19.From Figure 20 it will be clear that in order to Being fixed on by rib 3 on band 4, band has U-lag or the breach 18 of respective number along its circumferential length, and it is configured as and the U of rib 3 Shape hook or projection 19 match, and thus U-shaped hook or projection 19 can be slideably inserted in the groove 18 of band in padlock mode.

Or, the present invention is it can also be envisaged that for saving being used for rib assembly 10 is anchored or is fixed to the mechanism on 4 is whole. Such as, Figure 21-24 shows the 4th example of training devices of the present invention, its middle rib assembly 10 and the band 4 single integral piece of composition, So rib assembly cannot be removed and to be permanently secured to band above.Such assembly for training devices 2 Can be made by such as injection molding.Figure 22 shows the another kind of alternative embodiment of a rib 3, inclined-plane or the wing 5, shows in figure Single wedge or the wing 27.As such, it is desirable to it is noted that other shapes many and many kind inclined-planes or the wing 5 are suitable for the present invention, For example, including single inclined-plane 5, the inclined-plane 5 of number of variations, or any one or more one in rib 3 or The inclination clasp of multiple intervals.

Figure 32-40 shows the 5th example according to training devices of the present invention, different from examples noted above Being that multiple rib assemblies 10 are divided half-and-half is slit into its vuilt rib 3, center hub 20 is for the end at the rib 3 close to center substrate 11 It is connected with each other with rib 3 at 26.By rib segmentation being become vuilt rib 3 and combining center hub 20, the center substrate 11 of device 2 is not It is made up of superposed rib assembly 10 again, thus provides smooth rolling surface.The substitute is, two ends 8 of rib 3 It is removably mounted in the most respectively on band 4 or center hub 20 with 26.Such as, rib 3 when Figure 39 and 40 illustrate in detail assembling Narrow end 26 near center hub 20 has the installing hole 22 of two adjacent vertical alignments.During assembling, rib 3 near with 4 wide end 8 There is the installing hole 23 of two adjacent horizontal alignments.From Figure 32 and 36 it will be clear that in order to rib 3 is fixed to On heart hub 20, two lock pins 21 are enclosed along the outer circle of center hub 20 and is inserted in installing hole 22 (as Figure 41 is shown specifically) And it is passed to the recess hole of correspondence, in order to be fixed together by two parts.Lock pin can be any suitable class Type, such as Alan's shape pin.Similarly, it will be clear that in order to be fixed to carry on 4 by rib 3 from Figure 35, by two lock pins 24 are inserted into installing hole 23 and are passed to corresponding groove from inner surface or the inner side 14 of band along circumferential length with 4 Hole.Figure 37 shows the structure after device 2 installation.In the embodiment shown in Figure 32-40, center hub 20 ringwise, but Have extremely close to the region, surface of solid circles plate.But, center hub 20 can be arbitrary shape or composition, is used as Center set chalaza in rib 3, in order to the most consistent with the circumference being placed in stability ball 1 therein, so that stability ball has base This resting position, but can roll in the training process again simultaneously.Such as, though the most plate-shaped shape, real shown in Figure 32-40 Execute the center hub 20 in example and there is opening (the most ringwise) and slightly concave at its center, so can make ball in the training process Can be along a surface scrolls, but when ball is placed in device 2, still can make stability ball 1 maintain acquiescence home position or In resting position.

Being molded with bracket 25 on band 4, this bracket is positioned at the circumference of training devices and separates on two points of 180 degree.These torr Frame 25 is for being attached in device by resistance tube, such as, uses D-ring shape nylon tape, and such resistance exercise just can be at this ball On carry out.

Figure 42 shows the 6th example according to training devices of the present invention.This 6th example and showing of describing before Example has different at a lot of aspects.Such as, in this embodiment, center hub 20 shape is annular ring, its cincture and arrangement In the lower half of ball 1, and ball bottom most portion is substantially exposed to outer and is not covered by center hub 20.Multiple ribs 3 in Heart hub 20 and being maintained on the multiple points being isodistantly spaced arrangement between 4.Center hub 20, band 4 and rib 3 collectively form cage type Part, ball 1 is placed in wherein.It addition, be also applied with the second base construction 30 on center hub 11, when the table being placed on a basic horizontal Time on face, this second base construction forms the standpoint for keeping training devices 2.Take a broad view of device 2 and the group of the second structure 30 Closing, its profile is hour-glass in shape.Owing to the second structure 30 stops the fact that training devices 2 moves, one or more cylinder 35 quilts Mould or be otherwise affixed to center hub 20 and at least one of surrounding with 4, so that ball still can be at training cartridge Put in 2 and move, for being trained being used.Therefore, ball 1 is placed in training devices 2 trainer still can be made advantageously to obtain The resistance that must increase.Due to their structure, when rubbing up and down when ball motion, cylinder 35 is around constituting center hub 20 and band 4 Tubular strip rotate.Therefore, ball 1 remains able to move in static training equipment 2.

Similar method as shown in Figure 32-40 and 42, it can be envisaged that without prejudice to the spirit and scope of the invention In the case of in the above-described embodiments, center substrate 11 can be anchor ring and/or the interconnection of annular or by multiple rib groups Part 10 constitutes rather than forms substantially round and/or solid hub, point, plate or base.

Figure 43-46 shows the 7th and the 8th example according to training devices of the present invention.As shown in figure 42, a ring structure Become center substrate 11, and enclose setting 2 times along training devices.In the specific embodiment shown in Figure 43, shown in Figure 44 The position of center base 11 is compared, and the center base 11 shown in Figure 43 is closer to band 4 setting.At the specific embodiment shown in Figure 44 In, (such as, about from training devices 2 center substrate 11 is enclosed for 2 times along training devices and is arranged on much lower position Low spot 1 inch).The two embodiment and the difference of Figure 42 illustrated embodiment are that multiple rib 3 does not has and center substrate 11 and band 4 together to external radiation constitute hemispherical cage type part.On the contrary, rib 3 extends to training cartridge straight downward vertically from band 4 Put 2 static surfaces thereon.Such as, if training devices 2 is still on the ground of a horizontal flat, then rib 3 extends to from band 4 Ground, in order to they are basically perpendicular to ground.Accordingly, because center base 11 have to possess the ratio diameter little with 4, so often Individual rib 3 is also not directly contacted with center base 11.On the contrary, when training devices 2 is placed on the surface of substantially flat, 3, rib To still supporting the effect keeping training devices.Each rib 3 is by the intermediate interconnection structure 32 on some point of the length at rib 3 It is indirectly connected to center base 11.The leg point 40 being made up of rubber or other suitable high friction material can be applied to rib 3 On free end, when training devices 2 is static put in the plane time to can help to it stable.Additionally, each single rib 3 all can machine Tool is adjustable, in order to its vertical length also scalable (i.e. shortens or elongated).Rib 3 is so made to may be housed in center base 11 Relevant position (highly) and/or training devices 2 static in its surface time arbitrarily angled.Such as, each single rib 3 is equal Can be made up of two retractable member 33,34, it is possible to change combination with one another and parts 33,34 by slidable adjustment Total length.Therefore, rib 3 can maintain substantially vertical attitude according to the girth of training devices 2, has when being placed in the plane regardless of it Any variation.

Figure 47 to 54 shows the 9th example of training devices of the present invention.Shown in this specific embodiment and Figure 32-40 Embodiment essentially identical, be all that the end 26 of each rib 3 is removably mounted on center hub 20, and fix removedly With 4 contrary (divergence) end 8, in order to constitute the hemispherical enclosing element of half circle accommodating balanced ball 1.Or, rib 3, center hub 20 and band 4 can be made up of single moulding part, in order to rib 3 and center hub 20 and band 4 one entirety of formation.It is different from Embodiment shown in Figure 32-40, this center hub 20 is an annular ring, and the bottommost of such ball 1 is by center hub 20 Big opening 50 is completely exposed outside (from Figure 49 it will be clear that).Therefore, the surface area of center hub 20 is minimum, because of Roll without hindering ball significantly.So, ball 1 directly contacts with rolling surface, thus makes user roll in the training process Ball.User still can be felt and offsets the useful resistance that ball rolls, but this is mainly produced by inclined-plane or the wing 5 or concentrated.

Figure 55 shows the tenth example according to training devices of the present invention.In the rolling, center hub 20 is not broken off a friendship to the wing For making to substantially reduce with contacting of ground, the probability that ball slides along the ground exists too.In this embodiment, Resistance to sliding results from one or more peripheral component enhancer 45 being applied selectively to each inclined-plane or the wing 5.Should Booster 45 increases plane or effective outreach of the wing 5 or angle of inclination, and can be by by the ribband of such as silica gel etc Material is made and can be caught ground.As Figure 57 is illustrated in detail in, booster 45 is in crescent or segmental arc shape, with inclined-plane or the wing 5 Peripheral at least one of curvature is consistent.The interior segmental arc of booster is interior grooves 46, and this groove is configured as holding Receiving inclined-plane or the peripheral edge of the wing 5, the most when needed, booster 45 can apply securely to inclined-plane or the edge of the wing 5.Cause This, by placing applying booster 45 selectively on one or more inclined-planes or the outer of the wing 5, can eliminate braking , and/or the specific part along the whole periphery of device 2 or only device 2 periphery can be increased (skidding) The effective resistance produced by the inclined-plane being enhanced or the wing.

As Figure 56 is illustrated in detail in, inclined-plane or the wing 5 structure can also be made up of two or more compartments 41,42,43, this A little compartments interlock or adjacent one another are, in order to constitute whole inclined-plane or the wing 5 together.Therefore, booster 45 is also divided into difference Part come with each compartment 41,42,43 Corresponding matching.By plane or the wing 5 and booster 45 being divided into the difference of correspondence Part, each plane or the wing 5 can be divided into zones of different, and each region provides different or that angle is different resistance. Such as, as shown by the circuit diagram of figure 56, inclined-plane or the wing 5 are segmented into three parts: lower compartment 41, intermediate chamber 42 and upper compartment 43, such edge The length inclined-plane or the wing 5 can form three discontinuous regions.Selectively, if trainer only wants to increase at ball The resistance that static away from it or home position the rolling initial stage is experienced, then can only lower compartment 41 at device 2 apply Booster 45.Similarly, experienced away from the mid-term of the rolling of static or home position if user only wants to increase at ball The resistance arrived, then booster 45 can be applied at the intermediate chamber 42 of device 2, and lower compartment 41 and upper compartment 43 do not apply to strengthen Device 45.In order to make trainer feel different resistance in the rotary motion of spheroid on different points, trainer can basis Self-demand changes the intensity that training produces pointedly.

Figure 58 shows the 11st example according to training devices of the present invention.In this embodiment, multiple tiltedly Face or the wing 5 are directly attached or be integrally formed on the outer surface of ball 1, use and start or from the bottom of ball 1 to girth from bottom Any part more than portion starts along the peripheral surface upwards divergence of ball to the mode of the height wanted.Each inclined-plane or the wing 5 One of them end 51 start to steadily increase outreach or angle of inclination from the place of the bottom of ball 1 or nearly bottom until Arrive the spoke side 52 on opposite.Can omnidistance constantly or part increase on the wing 5.In exemplary configuration above, the wing 5 is from ball 1 Center persistently stretch out formation the wedge shape wing 5.In exemplary configuration subsequently, the wing 5 outwards only extends to from the center of ball 1 The middle part of the wing 5.Remainder outer radius can keep constant, and the top of such wing 5 is cylinder, or can reduce its radius Until and the outer surface of goal 1.

Contrast above-mentioned specific embodiment, by rib 3, the hemispherical cage type part that constituted with 4, center substrate 11 or center hub 20 Or enclosing element can whole save, inclined-plane or the wing 5 can directly apply or be integrally formed on the outer surface of ball 1 simultaneously.So And, the most same method and such as Figure 30, shown in 31, set up inclined-plane or the rolling of ball still can be provided by the wing 5 The resistance constantly increased.

Any suitable forming inclined-plane or the wing 5 on ball or inclined-plane or the wing 5 applied the side to the outer surface of ball 1 Method, as long as be all admissible in the spirit and scope of the present invention.Such as, inclined-plane or the wing 5 can be Just mould or be integrally formed on ball 1.When inclined-plane or the wing 5 are after being respectively formed at the beginning on ball 1, and inclined-plane or the wing 5 will It is configured as consistent with the bulbous exterior portion of ball 1.Such as, inclined-plane or the wing 5 can be molded by elastic (or softness) plastics.Permissible Use multiple interim, permanent or semipermanent mixed adhesive that inclined-plane or the wing 5 are attached on ball 1.Or, useSecuring member is connected inclined-plane or the wing 5 with the adjacently situated surfaces of ball 1.In further example, it is possible to use many Plant supporting machinery adnexa (such as, the female locks hole slot of male locks and coupling) to be attached on ball adjoin accordingly by inclined-plane or the wing 5 Adjacent part.

Additionally, inclined-plane or the wing 5 can form a solid member or partially or fully hollow, as shown in Figure 59.Additionally, it is real The heart, inclined-plane or the wing 5 that hollow and local is hollow can be applied on monomer ball 1.In the specific embodiment shown in Figure 59, inclined-plane Or the wing 5 is initially made into hollow bag 53 in ball 1 production process or after producing.Bottom, top or the middle part of each hollow bag 53 Opening.Can locally or all fill mass 54 in hollow bag 53 to increase a number of support, such as, by Hollow bag 53 inner injection plastics.Then, opening is sealed in case implant 54 drops out hollow bag 53.Have only to by the mode of injection One aperture.After hardening, implant 54 becomes and would not overflow from injection port greatly.

In the example shown in Figure 60, hollow bag 55 is similar to stitch in a typical edge sack of 56 openings.By Filling in removable shape in hollow bag 55 and suitably set up implant 57 can be that hollow bag increases a lot of support.Such as Figure 60 institute Showing, if user needs, implant 57 can be filled by the crack of opening or inclined-plane or the wing 5, implant can be entered in landing Face or the hollow interior of the wing 5.Such as hollow bag 55 at least local elasticity, the top 58 of this hollow bag 55 can stretch wrapped implant 59, the top of 57 implant 57 is well included in case in use dropping out.
