Specifically, the two ends of the rotating shaft 211 are leant on the 1ff st annular track 220 and the second annular track 230. The 1ff st annular track 220 and the second annular track 230 are made from such a material as to enable the 1ff st and second annular tracks 220, 230 to have a sufficient friction coefficient relative to the rotating shaft 211, 50 that the rotating shaft 211 can rotate relative to the 1ff st and second annular tracks 220, 230. For example, the first and second annular tracks 220, 230 can, without limitation, be made of plastic or rubber.
10035] In another embodiment, when the first and second covers 310, 320 are made from such a material as to enable the 1ff st and second annular bottom walls 313, 323 to have a sufficient friction coefficient relative to the two ends of the rotating shaft 211 so that the rotating shaft 211 can rotate, the two ends of the rotating shaft 211 can be directly leant on the first and second annular bottom walls 313, 323. Therefore, the 1ff st and second annular tracks 220, 230 can be omitted. For example, when the first and second covers 310, 320 are made of plastic, the two ends of the rotating shaft 211 can be directly leant on the first and second annular bottom walls 313, 323.
10036] In the illustrated twist exercising device 200, the first and second joining portions 312, 322 extend outside from the first and second covers 310, 320 of the housing 300, respectively. After the first and second joining portions 312, 322 are joined with each other, the joined first and second joining portions 312, 322 can as a whole be served as a holding part for the user to hold the twist exercising device 200, thereby reducing the risk of the twist exercising device 200 falling off from the palm of the user. Furthermore, since threads are not required to be formed on the first and second covers 310, 320, a thickness of each of the first and second covers 310, 320 can be significantly reduced, thereby reducing the material cost and the weight of the housing 300. Thus, the illustrated twist exercising device 200 has the advantages of low cost and light weight.
10037] In order to render the user to know the number of revolutions of the rotating device 210 in the housing 300, the twist exercising device 200 can further include a counter 240. The counter 240 is, for example, disposed at one side of the second cover 320 opposite to the second opening end 321. That is, the counter 240 is disposed at the second bottom wall 325 of the second cover 320. In the embodiment wherein the second bottom wall 325 is defined with the opening 327, the counter 240 can be disposed in the opening 327. In another embodiment, the counter 240 is, for example, disposed at one side of the first cover 310 opposite to the first opening end 311. That is, the counter 240 is disposed at the first bottom wall 315 of the first cover 310. In the embodiment wherein the first bottom wall 315 is defined with the opening 317, the counter 240 can be disposed in the opening 317.
10038] Except for the counter 240, the rotating device 210 further includes a signal emitter 215, wherein the signal emitter 215 is attached to the annular wrapping element 212 and configured to provide signals to the counter 240. When the rotating device 210 rotates, the signal emitter 215 rotates with the rotating device 210, and the counter 240 counts the number of resolutions of the rotating device 210 according to the variation of the sensed signal. In the illustrated embodiment, the signal emitter 215 is, for example, a magnet unit, and the counter 240 is capable of sensing magnetic signals. The magnet unit includes, for example, a fixing tube 251 and a magnet 252 disposed in the fixing tube 251.
10039] FIG. 4 is a three-dimensional view of the rotating shaft and the annular wrapping element according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. S is a schematic diagram showing the signal emitter which is mounted in the annular wrapping element according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, the annular wrapping element 212 is, for example, defined with a mounting hole 216. The rotating shaft, for example, has an annular inner wall 217.
The annular inner wall 217 is defined with a notch 218. The notch 218 is communicated with the mounting hole 216 so that the mounting hole 216 is exposed.
The notch 218 is provided with at least an abutting portion 219, wherein two abutting portions 218 are provided in the notch 218 in the illustrated embodiment. However, the number of the abutting portion 219 is not limited in the present invention. The fixing tube 251 of the signal emitter 215 is disposed into the mounting hole 216 via the notch 218 under the direction E shown in FIG. 5. The fixing tube 251 is, for example, provided with at least an elastic pillar protruding out of the mounting hole 216. Each elastic pillar 253 corresponds to and abuts against one abutting portion 219, so that the fixing tube 251 is avoided from dropping off from the mounting hole 216.
Furthermore, the mounting hole 216 is, for example, a through hole in the illustrated embodiment. In order to prevent the fixing tube 251 from dropping outside the annular wrapping element 212 from the mounting hole 216, the fixing tube 251 can further be provided wfth at least a stopping block 254 protruding out of the mounting hole 216, wherein two opposite stopping blocks 254 are provided on the fixing tube 251 in FIG. 3 as an example. Each stopping block 254 interferes with the annular wrapping element 212 and thus cannot be inserted into the mounting hole 216, thereby preventing the fixing tube 251 from dropping outside the annular wrapping element 212 fromthe mounting hole 216.
100401 It should be pointed out that the stopping block 254 is not a necessary part of the fixing tube 251. In another embodiment, the diameter of the mounting hole 216 can be gradually reduced from an inner side to an outer side of the annular wrapping element 212 to cause the diameter of the mounting hole 216 at the outer side of the annular wrapping element 212 to be smaller than a diameter of the fixing tube 251, thereby preventing the fixing tube 251 from dropping outside the annular wrapping element 212 from the mounting hole 216. In another embodiment, an inner surface of the mounting hole 216 can be provided with an abutting portion. Due to the abutting portion, the fixing tube 251 is prevented from dropping outside the annular wrapping element 212 from the mounting hole 216. In yet another embodiment, the mounting hole 216 is a blind hole to accordingly prevent the fixing tube 251 from dropping outside the annular wrapping element 212 from the mounting hole 216.
100411 While the invention has been described in terms of what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention needs not be limited to the disclosed embodiment. On the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims which are to be accorded with the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar structures.
