ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is related to an inflatable elastic exercising device composed of an elastic body, outer frames and reinforcing boards. The elastic body is deflatable and collapsible and the outer frames and reinforcing boards can be disassembled. After disassembled, the exercising body can be stored in a narrow space and conveniently transferred. In addition, the balance exercise can be stably and safely performed.
It is known that balance exercise can strengthen muscles of whole body of a user and enhance the energy and shape the curve of the body of the user.
FIG. 1
shows an existent balance exerciser including a main envelope body
10
, a base seat
14
and an annular fixing member
15
.
The main envelope body
10
has a dome-shaped upper face. The outer circumference with maximum diameter is upward bent to form an annular hook section
11
. The inner circumference of the bottom of the main envelope body
10
is inward recessed to form an annular insertion section
12
. The center of the bottom of the main envelope body
10
is formed with a vent
13
.
The base seat
14
is laid under the main envelope body
10
. The base seat
14
has an upright annular support section
141
near the vent
13
of the main envelope body
10
for supporting the same. The outer circumference of the base seat
14
has an upward outward extending outer flange
142
inserted in the annular insertion section
12
. In addition, a support rim
143
outward extends from the outer circumference of the annular support section
141
. The bottom of the support rim
143
is fixable on any face. The top of the support rim
143
abuts against and supports the bottoms of the annular hook section
11
and the annular insertion section
12
.
The annular fixing member
15
is annularly disposed around the main envelope body
10
to enclose the annular hook section
11
and the support rim
143
.
It is known that an ordinary person (no matter male or female) has a height within 160 to 180 cm. That is, the conventional balance exerciser should have a minimum diameter of about 1 meter for a user to stretch his/her limbs and balance the body. However, the balance exerciser with such a diameter will occupy much room. Therefore, it is inconvenient to store or transfer the balance exerciser.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide an inflatable elastic exercising device composed of a deflatable collapsible elastic body, outer frames and reinforcing boards that can be disassembled. After disassembled, collapsed and stacked, the exercising body can be stored in a narrow space and conveniently transferred.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide the above inflatable elastic exercising device in which the elastic body has a top face for a user to stand thereon to do balance exercise. The balance exercise can be stably and safely performed.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide the above inflatable elastic exercising device further including rope sections for varying the balance exercise and ensuring the safety in the balance exercise.
