Definitions

  • the present invention lies in the field of core training exercise equipment. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a "cage" or “enclosure” that is comprised of widening rib-like elements (e.g., six) that radiate from the base of an exercise stability ball and attach to a belt that surrounds the ball just below the ball's center circumference. Protruding from each rib-like element is at least one constantly widening inclined plane or wing that forces the enclosed ball back to its base position and increases the resistance as the ball rolls away from that base position.
  • a "cage” or “enclosure” that is comprised of widening rib-like elements (e.g., six) that radiate from the base of an exercise stability ball and attach to a belt that surrounds the ball just below the ball's center circumference. Protruding from each rib-like element is at least one constantly widening inclined plane or wing that forces the enclosed ball back to its base position and increases the resistance as the ball rolls away from that base position.
  • the stability ball has two major flaws. The first, and perhaps the most pressing because it prevents many persons from using the ball and more advanced users from performing advanced exercises, is the tendency of the ball to roll away from the user. This tendency adds an element of fear that precludes the utilization of stability balls by many potential users.
  • the second flaw is that the stability ball offers no changes in resistance to movement throughout the range of motion of the exercise. In addition, the resistance offered by the ball decreases as it becomes increasingly unstable at the end ranges of an exercise.
  • the device of the instant invention provides a unique control system that can maximize the benefit of one of the most important core exercise apparatuses, the stability ball.
  • Relational terms such as first and second, top and bottom, and the like may be used solely to distinguish one entity or action from another entity or action without necessarily requiring or implying any actual such relationship or order between such entities or actions.
  • the terms "comprises,” “comprising,” or any other variation thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
  • An element proceeded by "comprises ... a" does not, without more constraints, preclude the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the element.
  • the term “about” or “approximately” applies to all numeric values, whether or not explicitly indicated. These terms generally refer to a range of numbers that one of skill in the art would consider equivalent to the recited values (i.e., having the same function or result). In many instances these terms may include numbers that are rounded to the nearest significant figure.
  • the term “longitudinal” should be understood to mean in a direction corresponding to an elongated direction of the object being described.
  • the device of the present invention provides a unique way to control the rollaway movements of a stability ball while simultaneously increasing the resistance being applied to the user's body musculature during exercises being performed by the user with the stability ball.
  • FIG. 1A provides an example of the type of stability ball 1, found in the prior art, that would benefit from the inventive device described herein.
  • the background art for better understanding the invention incorporates a "cage” or “enclosure” that is comprised of a plurality of flexible bands, or ribs, that lock into or are integral with a connecting structure to form a radial configuration such that when assembled together, the device partially, substantially, or fully cups or encloses a bottom portion of the stability ball to control the stability ball's movement.
  • the flexible bands or ribs have at least one inclined plane or wing on their exterior surface such that when the stability ball is rolled away from its base (i.e., resting) position in any direction along a substantially flat surface, the inclined plane or wing comes into contact with the substantially flat surface to provide an incremental, counteracting or balancing resistance to movement of the ball away from its base position. This resistance is beneficially transferred to the user while the user is performing exercise movements with the stability ball.
  • the exercise device 2 is comprised of a plurality of flexible rib assemblies 10, bent into a semicircular arc or a bow to form a plurality of widening ribs 3 in a radial configuration, and held equal distances apart by a circular-shaped belt 4 or other connecting structure that surrounds, with a snug fit, the circumference of a stability ball 1 at a height 7 that is, for example, just below or at the midline of the ball. This allows the device to apply resistance and stability throughout the working surface of the ball during most functional exercises.
  • the height 7 be above, or just slightly above, the midline of the ball in order to provide a better grip on the ball. It is also envisioned for the height to extend just past the middle plane of the ball and to have the uppermost ball-receiving opening to curve slightly inward. In such an embodiment, with a flexible exercise ball, the exercise device will slightly compress the ball to improve gripping and inhibit the ball from rolling out of the exercise device 2 during use.
  • the rib assemblies 10 and the belt 4 form a concave-shaped, hemispherical "cage” or “enclosure” of approximately the lower half of the stability ball 1 whereby the stability ball is securely seated inside the device 2.
  • the rib assemblies 10 are removably anchored or secured to the belt 4 at their radiating ends 8. Although three rib assemblies 10, resulting in six ribs 3, are shown in this particular embodiment, this is for purposes of a non-limiting illustration only. Depending on the amount of desired resistance to the rollaway movement of the stability ball 1, a variable number of rib assemblies 10 may be used to form the device 2. The greater the number of rib assemblies used, the greater amount of resistance will be provided to the ball's movements.
  • the central base 11 of the device 2 is formed at the point where the rib assemblies 10 overlap and cross one another.
  • the central base 11 of device 2 provides a base, or resting position for the stability ball 1 when the ball is present.
  • the ribs 3 radiate from this central base 11 in a radial pattern that resembles the flower head of a daisy.
  • the diameter of the rib 3 is at its narrowest dimension at the point of the central base 11 and incrementally widens in a direction towards its radiating end 8 of the rib 3.
  • the ribs 3 may alternatively be constructed to have any strip-like shape, including a strip with a uniform diameter along its entire length, or, the ribs 3 may be replaced entirely by a single, molded cup-like dome (not shown) (i.e., is not split into a plurality of rib assemblies 10 ) that encloses the entire lower half of the stability ball.
  • each rib 3 Incorporated into the exterior surface of each rib 3 (or, the exterior surface of any other structure forming the enclosure of the lower half of the stability ball) is a pair 9 of inclined planes or "wings" 5 that extend substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the rib and protrude perpendicularly from the exterior surface of the rib.
  • Each inclined plane or wing 5 steadily increases in its protruding distance, or angle of inclination, as it approaches the radiating or anchoring end 8 of the rib 3 at the belt 4 of the device 2.
  • FIGS. 30 and 31 graphically illustrate the counteractive or balancing relationship between the degree of the rolling movement of the ball from its base position and the amount of resistance created by the inclined planes or wings 5 of the ribs 3.
  • the stability ball 1 is naturally inclined to roll away from its base (i.e., resting) position, which is desirable for the user when it is controllable in a stable manner.
  • the inclined planes or wings 5 of the ribs 3 come into contact with the substantially flat surface to provide an increasing, counteracting or balancing resistance to movement of the ball away from its base position in an incremental fashion.
  • the greater the degree of rollaway motion of the ball from its base position the greater amount of surface area of the inclined planes or wings 5 come into obstructive contact with the substantially flat surface thereby providing an increased amount of resistance to the ball's movement.
  • the resistance created by the inclined planes or wings 5 of the ribs 3 drives or biases the ball back towards its original, base position.
  • the exercise device 2 of the present invention stabilizes the ball while still allowing it to perform its function and with increased resistance experienced by the user.
  • the belt 4 of the device 2 has intermittent curves 6 along its length between the points at which the rib assemblies 10 are removably anchored or secured to the belt 4.
  • the anchoring or securing points are clearly set apart so that they are easily identifiable by the user and the resulting spatial footprint of the device 2 on the ball 1 is reduced.
  • the belt 4 and the rib assemblies 10 may be comprised of, but not limited to, heavy-duty nylon. However, other materials including high-impact plastic are feasible.
  • the device 2 may incorporate a supplementary elastic band exercise system (not shown), which allows the user to attach elastic bands to the device thereby adding a resistance-training component to the device.
  • a supplementary elastic band exercise system (not shown), which allows the user to attach elastic bands to the device thereby adding a resistance-training component to the device.
  • FIGS. 7 to 17 there is shown a second exemplary embodiment of the exercise device according to the background art.
  • the exercise device 2 is comprised of a belt 4 that is shaped to tightly surround the circumference of a stability ball 1 just below the ball's midline, and four (as shown in FIGS. 7 to 1 1 ) or three (as shown in FIGS.
  • rib assemblies 10a, 10b, and 10c flexibly bent into semicircular arcs that are removably, and equidistantly, secured or held in a register to the belt 4 at indentations or notches 13 of the interior surface 14 of the belt 4 (which are shown in detail in FIGS. 13 and 14 ).
  • the rib assemblies 10a-c and the belt 4 form a radially-shaped "cage" or "enclosure" of the lower half of the ball 1.
  • the belt 4 does not have intermittent curves along its length and instead, the belt 4 has a constant width 12 along its entire length.
  • the rib assemblies 10a-c come together centrally to form a central base 11, which when placed on a substantially flat surface, provides a base, or resting position for the stability ball 1 when the ball is seated inside the device 2.
  • FIGS. 15 to 17 show, in close detail, any one of the rib assemblies 10a-c of FIG. 12 .
  • Each rib assembly defines two ribs, 3a-b, 3c-d, and 3e-f that radiate from the central base 11 in a wheel-and-spokes pattern whereby the ribs increasingly widen in a direction away from the central base 11.
  • Each rib has a pair 9 of raised, inclined planes 5 that run substantially parallel along the rib's longitudinal axis.
  • At each radiating end 8 of the rib assembly there lies a trapezoidal protrusion 17 and a linking pin 16 for securing the rib assembly to the belt 4.
  • each end 8 of the rib assemblies 10a-c to the belt 4
  • a corresponding number of trapezoidal indentations or notches 13, having keyhole slots 15, are formed in the interior surface 14 of the belt 4 (see FIGS. 13 and 14 ).
  • the trapezoidal indentations or notches 13 are shaped to have a corresponding, or mating fit to the trapezoidal protrusions 17 of the rib assembly and each keyhole slot 15 of the trapezoidal indentations or notches is shaped to retain the linking pin 16 of the rib assembly.
  • the rib assembly is removably secured to the belt.
  • FIGS. 25 to 29 provide a pictorial representation of the assembly-line process.
  • the first step as shown in FIG. 25 , the rib assemblies 10 are placed between the stability ball 1 and the belt 4 in a substantially flat, radial configuration with the ribbed surface of the rib assemblies facing downwards towards the belt.
  • the second and third steps as shown in FIGS. 26 and 27 , in a fluid motion using the belt, the rib assemblies 10 are guided upwards into their semicircular arc or bow shape as permitted by the inherent flexibility of the material comprising the rib assemblies 10.
  • the rib assemblies form a concave-shaped seat, having a central base 11, in which the ball 1 is seated.
  • the ribs 3 of each rib assembly 10 are removably secured to the belt 4 at their ends 8 by sliding the linking pin 16 into the corresponding keyhole slot 15 (not shown) formed in the interior surface of the belt.
  • the resulting device 2 as shown in FIG. 29 , tightly captures and encloses the lower portion of the ball 1 .
  • FIGS. 18 to 20 illustrate a third exemplary embodiment of the exercise device according to the background art that is very similar to the embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 17 except for the securing mechanism between the ends 8 of the rib assemblies 10 and the belt 4.
  • each rib 3 has a U-shaped hook or protrusion 19 at its radiating end 8.
  • the belt has a corresponding number of U-shaped slots or notches 18 along the length of the belt's circumference that are shaped to matingly fit the U-shaped hooks or protrusions 19 of the ribs 3 when the U-shaped hooks or protrusions 19 are slidingly inserted into the slots 18 of the belt in a buckle-like fashion.
  • FIGS. 21 to 24 illustrate a fourth exemplary embodiment of the exercise device according to the background art whereby the rib assemblies 10 and the belt 4 are formed as a single integral piece such that the rib assemblies cannot be removed, but are permanently secured to the belt.
  • This type of assembly for the exercise device 2 may be made by, for example, injection-type molding.
  • FIG. 22 illustrates on one rib 3, an alternative embodiment of the inclined planes or wings 5, which are shown as a single inclined wedge or wing 27.
  • inclined planes or wings 5 include, for example, a single inclined plane 5, a variable number of inclined planes 5, or one or more intermittent inclined tabs for any one or more of the ribs 3.
  • FIGS. 32 to 40 there is shown a fifth exemplary embodiment of the exercise device according to the background art, which differs from the previously described embodiments in that the plurality of rib assemblies 10 are cut in half into their constituent ribs 3, and a central hub 20 is used to interconnect the ribs 3 at the ends 26 of the ribs that are proximate the central base 11.
  • the central base 11 of the device 2 is no longer formed by the.overlapping rib assemblies 10, and thereby provides a smooth rolling surface.
  • both ends 8, 26 of the ribs 3 are now removably secured to the belt 4 or the central hub 20, respectively.
  • FIGS. 32 to 40 there is shown a fifth exemplary embodiment of the exercise device according to the background art, which differs from the previously described embodiments in that the plurality of rib assemblies 10 are cut in half into their constituent ribs 3, and a central hub 20 is used to interconnect the ribs 3 at the ends 26 of the ribs that are proximate the central base 11.
  • the narrower end 26 of the rib 3 that is proximate to the central hub 20 when assembled has two adjacent, vertically-aligned mounting holes 22.

  • two locking pins 21 shown in detail in FIG. 41
  • the locking pin may be of any suitable type, such as an Allen-type pin.
  • the central hub 20 is annular in shape, but has a surface area that closely approximates a solid, circular plate.
  • the central hub 20 can be of any shape or form that acts as a central meeting place for the ribs 3 and sufficiently conforms to the circumference of the stability ball 1 seated therein such that the stability ball has a base, resting position, but is also capable of being rolled during exercise.
  • the central hub 20 of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 32 to 40 has an opening at its center (thereby, forming an annulus) and a slight concavity that permits it to roll along a surface during exercise, but still maintains a default base, or resting position for the stability ball 1 when the ball is seated inside the device 2 .
  • Brackets 25 are molded onto the belt 4 at two points on the circumference of the exercise device that are 180 degrees apart. These brackets 25 are used to attach resistance tubes to the device, for example, using nylon belts with D-rings so that resistance-training exercises can be performed on the ball.
  • FIG. 42 there is shown an exemplary embodiment of the exercise device.
  • This sixth embodiment differs in a number of respects from the previously described embodiments.
  • the central hub 20 is in the shape of an annular ring that encircles and seats the lower circumference of the ball 1 and leaves a substantial part of the bottommost portion of the ball exposed and uncovered by the central hub 20.
  • the plurality of ribs 3 are held at equidistant points from one another in-between the central hub 20 and the belt 4. Together, the central hub 20, belt 4 and ribs 3 form a cage in which the ball 1 is seated.

  • rollers 35 are molded onto or otherwise secured around at least one of the central hub 20 and belt 4 to allow the ball to still move within the exercise device 2 for use in performing an exercise.
  • the user is still able to take advantage of the increased resistance that results from placing the ball 1 inside the exercise device 2 .
  • the rollers 35 rotate about the tubular bars that form the central hub 20 and the belt 4 when brushed upwards or downwards by the ball's movement. Accordingly, the ball 1 is still able to move within the stationary exercise device 2 .
  • the central base 11 may be in the form of an annulus and/or an annular ring that interconnects or is formed by the plurality of rib assemblies 10, rather than forming a substantially circular and/or solid hub, point, plate or base.
  • FIGS. 43 to 46 illustrate two exemplary embodiments of the exercise device.

  • each rib 3 does not directly meet with the central base 11 as the central base 11 necessarily has a smaller diameter than the belt 4. Rather, the ribs 3 act as stilts that hold the exercise device 2 still when it is placed on a substantially flat surface.
  • Each rib 3 is indirectly connected to the central base 11 by an intermediate, interconnecting structure 32 at some point along the length of rib 3.
  • Feet 40 made of rubber or some other suitable high-friction material, may be applied to the free ends of the ribs 3 to aid in stabilizing the exercise device 2 along the surface upon which it rests.

  • the inclined plane or wing 5 can be divided into three parts: a lower partition 41, an intermediate partition 42, and an upper partition 43, thereby creating three different discrete zones along the length of the inclined plane or wing 5.
  • the user may only wish to increase the resistance felt at the very beginning of the rolling movement of the ball away from its resting or base position and, therefore, can apply an enhancer 45 only to the lower partition 41 of the device 2.
  • the user may wish to only increase the resistance felt at the mid-extension point of the rolling movement of the ball away from its resting or base position and, therefore, can apply an enhancer 45 only to the intermediate partition 42 of the device 2 and leave the lower partition 41 and upper partition 43 as is without the enhancers 45.

  • Each inclined plane or wing 5 begins at or near the bottom of the ball 1 at one end 51 and steadily increases in its protruding distance, or angle of inclination, as it approaches its opposite, radiating end 52. The increase can continue all the way or partly up the wing 5.

  • the inclined planes or wings 5 are initially formed as hollow pockets 53 either during or after manufacture of the ball 1.
  • Each of the hollow pockets 53 is open at the bottom, the top, or an intermediate portion.
  • a variable amount of support may be added to the hollow pocket 53 by partially or fully filling it with a weighted substance 54, for example, by injecting plastic into the pocket 53. Then, the opening can be sealed so that the substance 54 is not able to escape from the pocket 53. In an injection method, only a small hole is made. After hardening, the substance 54 becomes too large to exit the injection orifice.
  • the pocket 55 is akin to a typical pocket open at an intermediate slit 56.
  • a variable amount of support is able to be added to the hollow pocket 55 by inserting removably a correspondingly shaped modular insert 57 within its hollow interior.
  • the insert 57 is received through the opening or slit 56 of the inclined plane or wing 5 and is slid down into the hollow interior of the plane or wing 5 .
  • the pocket 55 is at least partially elastic, the top portion 58 of the pocket 55 is stretched over the top end 59 of the insert 57 to capture the insert 57 therein and prevent it from falling out during use.
