Description
- This non-provisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) on Patent Application No(s). 101208773 filed in Taiwan, R.O.C. on May 9, 2012, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
- 1. Technical Field
- The disclosure relates to a ball-shape brawn training device and a ring thereof, and more particularly to a ball-shape brawn training device having a combined type ring and the ring.
- 2. Related Art
- Conventional brawn training ball includes a casing, an outer ring, a rotatable ball, and a driving rope. The outer ring is disposed on the rotatable ball. The outer ring and the rotatable ball are installed in the casing. More particularly, the outer ring has flexibility so that the outer ring is capable of being deformed when manufacturing the training ball. Thus, when assembling the outer ring with the rotatable ball, the outer ring can be assembled to the rotatable ball by the deformation. Then, the outer ring and the rotatable ball are assembled into the casing. Next, the driving rope is twined on the surface of the rotatable ball. The rotatable ball begins to rotate with an initial rotate speed once the rope is polled out. In this way, a user can swing the brawn training ball to control the rotate speed.
- Recently, in order to meet consumers' demand, manufacturers have strived to improve the brawn training ball to have more additional functions. For example, in the Taiwan patent application M391415 (herein after referred to as NO. 415 application), the brawn training ball has an elastic structure. In this case, a user holds the brawn training ball and rubs the surface of the brawn training ball on a surface of an object so that the ball rotates to increase the elastic potential energy of the elastic structure. Furthermore, the training ball is activated and therefore rotates due to the restoring force of the elastic structure while the brawn training ball leaves the surface of an object. Thus, it is not necessary to use the driving rope to make the rotatable ball of the brawn training ball rotate.
- Furthermore, in the US patent application U.S. Pat. No. 7,846,066B1 (herein after referred to as No. 066 application), the brawn training ball has a light emitting device. The light emitting device includes an electricity energy generating circuit and a light emitting control circuit. The electricity energy generating circuit can generate electricity by the rotation of the brawn training ball, and the electricity generated is outputted to the light emitting control circuit. Besides, the light emitting control circuit can present different light emitting effects according to different rotate speed of the ball.
- According to NO. 415 application and No. 066 application, the brawn training ball is equipped with only one additional element. The deformation needed by assembling the outer ring and the rotatable ball is still in the range of the largest mounting deformation quantity which is retained previously for the outer ring. However, in order to better satisfy consumers, the brawn training ball trends to have more additional functions. Therefore, if the brawn training ball is equipped with more than one additional elements, the deformation needed by assembling the outer ring and the rotatable ball may be beyond the largest mounting deformation quantity which is retained previously for the outer ring and thus the outer ring cannot be assembled to the rotatable ball by the outer ring's deformation. In this case, when the brawn training ball needs to have various additional functions, manufacturers need to develop other methods for assembling the outer ring and the rotatable ball. Otherwise, additional elements with additional functions are hard to be equipped to the brawn training ball due to assembly problems.
- In one aspect, a ring for a ball-shape brawn training device is disclosed. The ring comprises a ring body and an assembly. The ring body comprises a first pivot part and a first assembly portion opposite to each other, and a first ring section and a second ring section extending from two sides of the first pivot part to the first assembly portion respectively. The first ring section and the second ring section have flexibility. The assembly comprises a second assembly portion which is combined with the first assembly portion. The assembly and the first assembly portion are combined to form a second pivot part.
- In another aspect, a ball-shape brawn training device is disclosed. The ball-shape brawn training device comprises a casing, a ring, and a ball body. The ring is configured in the casing and is rotatable relative to the casing. The ring comprises a first pivot part and a second pivot part opposite to each other, and a first ring section and a second ring section connecting the first pivot part and the second pivot part. The ball body is coupled to the first pivot part and the second pivot part. The ball body is rotatable relative to the ring. The second pivot part is composed of a first assembly portion and an assembly on the ring

FIG. 2 , theball body 300 is coupled to thefirst pivot part 211 and thesecond pivot part 230 and is rotatable relative to thering 200. Theball body 300 further comprises afirst spindle 320 and asecond spindle 330 opposite to each other. Thefirst spindle 320 and thesecond spindle 330 goes through theholes ball body 300 can rotate relative to thering 200. - In this embodiment or other embodiments, the
ball body 300 has afriction portion 310 on its surface. A part of thefriction portion 310 protrudes from thecasing 100 through theopening 111. As a result, users may use hand or surface of desk to contact with thefriction portion 310 and thus rotate theball body 300. - In this embodiment or other embodiments, with reference to
FIGS. 1A and 2 , the ball-shapebrawn training device 10 further comprises amagnetoelectricity conversion element 400. Themagnetoelectricity conversion element 400 comprises amagnet 410 and asensing circuit 420. Themagnet 410 is disposed on the second carryingportion 225 of theassembly 220. Thesensing circuit 420 is disposed in the ball body close to thesecond spindle 330. Themagnet 410 and thesensing circuit 420 are between theball body 300 and the assembly. When theball body 300 rotates relative to thering 200, thesensing circuit 420 will rotate relative to themagnet 410 so as to generate a magnetoelectricity effect. - Furthermore, the ball-shape
brawn training device 10 further comprises alight source 500 which is electrically connected to thesensing circuit 420. Thesensing circuit 420 generates electricity by the magnetoelectricity effect, and then thelight source 500 can emit light. Thelight source 500 rotates with theball body 300 and the light emitted from the light source forms a beautiful light track. In this case, the visual effect of the ball-shapebrawn training device 10 can be enhanced. Thelight source 500 can be for example a diode-emitting diode. - In this embodiment and other embodiments, with reference to
FIGS. 4A and 4B , the ball-shapebrawn training device 10 further comprises anelastic structure 600. One end of theelastic structure 600 is fixed to the first carryingportion 217 of thefirst pivot part 211, and the other end of theelastic structure 600 is fixed to theball body 300. A user may rotate theball body 300 by rubbing thefriction portion 310 so that theball body 300 rotates relative to thering 200. When theball body 300 rotates relative to thering 200, theelastic structure 600 will store the kinetic energy for the rotation of theball body 300. The kinetic energy stored by the elastic structure may drive theball body 300 to rotate until the user releases theball body 300. - Because the
magnetoelectricity conversion element 400 and theelastic structure 600 are disposed on thering 200 of the ball-shapebrawn training device 10, thering 200 cannot be detached from or assembled to theball body 300 only by the elastic deformation. - With reference to
FIGS. 4A and 4B ,FIGS. 4A and 4B are schematic diagrams ofring 200 before and after the elastic deformation. In this embodiment, the first carryingportion 217 of thefirst pivot part 211 is equipped with theelastic structure 600 and the second carryingportion 225 of thesecond pivot part 230 is equipped with themagnet 410. Thus, the depth of thehole 219 and the depth of thehole 224 are deeper when the first and second pivot parts are equipped with objects than that when they are not equipped with object. In this case, thering 200 needs larger deformation so as to make theholes 224 get off thefirst spindle 320 and thesecond spindle 330. - However, as shown in
FIG. 4B , when a user applies a force F, thesecond pivot part 230 moves far away from thefirst pivot part 211. At this time point, thefirst ring section 213 and thesecond ring section 214 are pulled to get close to each other by the force F. Thesecond pivot part 230 has the largest displacement quantity when thefirst ring section 213 and thesecond ring section 214 abut on theball body 300. However, the displacement at this time is not big enough to separate thesecond pivot part 230 from thesecond spindle 330. Therefore, when thefirst pivot part 211 and thesecond pivot part 230 are equipped with additional elements, the ball-shapebrawn training device 10 can be quickly assembled by the combinedtype ring 200 of this embodiment. - With reference to
FIGS. 5A-5D ,FIGS. 5A-5D show the assembly flow of the ball-shapebrawn training device 10 ofFIG. 1A . - Firstly, as shown in
FIG. 5A , thering body 210 of thering 200 and theassembly 220 are not assembled to theball body 300. Secondly, as shown inFIG. 5B , theassembly 220 is assembled to thesecond spindle 330 and thesecond spindle 330 goes through thehole 224 along the arrow direction a. Then, as shown inFIG. 5C , thehole 219 of thering body 210 is assembled to thefirst spindle 320, and the twoarms 218 of thefirst assembly portion 212 are assembled to the twogrooves 223 of thesecond assembly portion 221 along the arrow direction b. As a result, the ring is assembled to theball body 300. It is noted that the order for assembling thering body 210 and theassembly 220 to theball body 300 according to this embodiment is not used to limit the disclosure. - According to the ball-shape brawn training device and the ring as described above, the ring has two parts of a ring body and an assembly. The first pivot part of the ring body and the second pivot part of the assembly are firstly assembled to the two spindles of the ball body, and then the assembly is combined with the ring body to form a whole ring. As a result, when the two pivot parts of the ring are equipped with additional elements, the ring can be quickly assembled to the ball body.
- In addition, because the ring of the disclosure has two parts for the assembly, the ball-shape brawn training device can be equipped with more additional elements in a limited space. Thus, the ball-shape brawn training device may have more additional functions.
- Note that the specifications relating to the above embodiments should be construed as exemplary rather than as limitative of the present invention, with many variations and modifications being readily attainable by a person skilled in the art without departing from the spirit or scope thereof as defined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents.
