The first handle and the second handle both have a pivoting portion and a holding portion, a pivot is disposed through the pivoting portions of the first handle and the second handle to assemble the first handle and the second handle together; the first handle further has an escaping space at an inner edge for accepting the connecting member, and the second handle further has a closed surface at an inner edge; the closed surface further has a plurality of positioning protrusions located along a continuous line and capable of engaging with one end of the spring;
Description
- The present invention relates to a grip exerciser having different resistance.
- Currently. Common grip exercisers have obviously problems such as many components and complicated assembly actions, and its production cost is relatively high, which is not conducive to the competition among the same industry. Also, the breakage of the connection part of the common grip exerciser between the main rod and the sub-rod can cause the spring to pop out which can be a safety hazard.
- Therefore, it is desirable to provide a grip exerciser to mitigate and/or obviate the aforementioned problems.
- An objective of present invention is to provide a grip exerciser.
- In order to achieve the above mentioned objective, a grip exerciser has: a first handle, a second handle, a connecting member and a spring.
- the first handle and the second handle both have a pivoting portion and a holding portion, a pivot is disposed through the pivoting portions of the first handle and the second handle to assemble the first handle and the second handle together; the first handle further has an escaping space at an inner edge for accepting the connecting member, and the second handle further has a closed surface at an inner edge; the closed surface further has a plurality of positioning protrusions located along a continuous line and capable of engaging with one end of the spring.
- Also, the connecting member has a connecting column with an enlarged stopper at an end and pivoted in the escaping space, and another end of the spring is sleeved onto the connecting column that is pushed by the stopper.
- Other objects, advantages, and novel features of invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 8 is an exploded perspective view of a fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention. - Please refer to
FIG. 1-3 . A grip exerciser comprises: afirst handle 10, asecond handle 20, a connectingmember 30 and aspring 40. Thefirst handle 10 and thesecond handle 20 both have a pivoting portion 1121 and a holding portion 1222, and apivot 50 is disposed through the pivoting portions 1121 of thefirst handle 10 and thesecond handle 20, to assemble thefirst handle 10 and thesecond handle 20. Thefirst handle 10 further has an escapingspace 13 at an inner edge for accepting the connectingmember 30, and thesecond handle 20 further has a closedsurface 23 at an inner edge. The closedsurface 23 further has a plurality ofpositioning protrusions 24 further located along a continuous line and capable of engaging with one end of thespring 40. Furthermore, the connectingmember 30 has a connectingcolumn 31 with an enlargedstopper 32 at an end and pivoted in the escapingspace 13, and another end of thespring 40 is sleeved onto the connectingcolumn 31 that is pushed by thestopper 32. - Moreover, the closed
surface 23 is an arced surface on the inner edge of thesecond handle 20, which is corresponding to the rotation of the connectingmember 30 driven by thespring 40 so that the free and of thespring 40 is capable of align with eachpositioning protrusion 24. - In addition, the
positioning protrusions 24 are integrally formed with thesecond handle 20, and thepositioning protrusions 24 are hemispherical, as shown inFIGS. 1-5 . - Besides, each
positioning protrusion 24 has a smaller top portion and a larger lower portion, and the larger portion is capable of engaging with the free end of thespring 40, as shown inFIG. 6 . - Alternatively, each
positioning protrusion 24 has a larger top portion and a smaller lower portion, and the larger portion is capable of engaging with the free end of thespring 40, as shown inFIG. 7 . Otherwise, eachpositioning protrusion 24 is a tapered conical frustum, and a larger portion thereof is capable of engaging with the free end of thespring 40. - Alternatively, wherein each
positioning protrusion 24 is a conical frustum, and a larger portion thereof is capable of engaging with the free end of thespring 40, as shown inFIG. 8 . - Also, a padding member 1425 is located at an outer edge of each holding portion 1222, and the padding member 1425 is softer than the holding portion 1222.
- Moreover, the padding member 1425 has a plurality of anti-slip patterns, and each anti-slip pattern is a groove.
- Furthermore, the
second handle 20 has corresponding indicatingsymbols 26 adjacent to thepositioning protrusions 24. - In addition, the
stopper 32 of the connectingmember 30 is pivoted in the escapingspace 13 via thepivot 50. - Back to
FIG. 4 , for actual operation, a user uses one palm to grasp the holding portions 1222 of the first and second handles 1020 and repeatedly clench and loosen. The purpose of exercising the grasping power of the hand can be achieved by the resistance of thespring 40 that needs to be overcome. Since the connectingmember 30 is pivoted, the connectingmember 30 and thespring 40 are driven together, and thespring 40 can be changed to engage with thedifferent positioning protrusions 24 at different positions, as shown inFIG. 5 , which is capable of achieving adjustable training resistance and the adjustment of the resistance is gradually increasing from top to bottom. - By the structure of the above-mentioned specific embodiment, the following benefits can be obtained: since the
positioning protrusion 24 is integrally formed on thesecond handle 20, thesecond handle 20 needs no other components to interact smoothly with thespring 40, so the grip exerciser is benefit of less components, easy assembly and low production cost; also, thepositioning protrusion 24 is integrally formed in the on thesecond handle 20, there is no need to use a clip as a clamping structure; and, thespring 40 only needs to be moved to engage with adifferent positioning protrusion 24 to adjust to different resistances. - Although the present invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of invention as hereinafter claimed.
