2,999,333 BELT HOOP SPINNER William E. Clark, 305 Robinson St., Newport, Tenn. Filed Jan. 20, 1959, Ser. No. 787,910 2 Claims. (CI. 46-47) Unite This invention relates to a belt for use in spinning a hoop.
The object of the invention is to provide a belt which is adapted to be used by a child or other person as for example when a hoop is being spun or oscillated or rotated.
Another object of the invention is to provide a belt hoop spinner which is in the nature of an annular or circular body member that is adapted to be conveniently worn around a persons waist so that a conventional hoop can be accurately and readily spun around in a gymtory fashion, the device of the present invention including a grooved or recessed portion which functions as a guide for the spinning hoop.
A further object of the invention is to provide a belt hoop spinner which is extremely simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent during the course of the following description.
In the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this application, and in which like numerals are used to designate like parts throughout the same.
FIGURE 1 is an elevational view illustrating the belt hoop spinner, of the present invention, with parts broken away and in section.
FIGURE 2 is a plan view of the present invention, with parts broken away and in section.
FIGURE 3 is an elevational view of the belt hoop spinner of the present invention.
FIGURE 4 is a sectional view taken on line 4-4 of FIGURE 2.
FIGURE 5 is a fragmentary plan view with parts broken away and in section, illustrating a modification.
FIGURE 6 is a sectional view taken on line 6-6 of FIGURE 5.
Referring in detail to the drawing, and more particularly to FIGURES 1 through 4 of the drawing, the numeral 10 indicates the belt hoop spinner of the present invention which is adapted to be used for spinning or guiding a circular hoop such as the hoop 11.
In FIGURE 1 the belt hoop spinner 10 of the present invention is shown being used wherein it is mounted around the waist 13 of a persons body 12.
The belt hoop spinner 10 of the present invention comprises a generally circular body member 14 which can be made of any suitable material such as plastic, and there is provided in the outer surface of the body member 14 an annular groove or recess 15. The inner surface of the body member 14 is smooth as indicated by the numeral 16. The body member 14 may be provided with a split 17, and arranged in the end portions of the body member 14 on opposite sides of the split 17 are openings or apertures 18 whereby a hook member 19 can be arranged in engagement with the openings 18 in order to fasten the ends together.
Referring now to FIGURES 5 and 6 of the drawing, there is illustrated a modified belt hoop spinner which is indicated generally by the numeral 20, and the member 20 is adapted to be used in the same manner as the previously described member 10. Thus, the member 20 includes an annular groove or recess 21 which serves as a guide for a hoop, such as the hoop 11. However, the member 20 consists of a pair of semicircular or arcuate sections 22 which are fastened together at their rear ends by means of a hinge 23.
atent Patented Sept. 12., 1961 From the foregoing, it is apparent that there has been provided a device which is in the form of a belt that as adapted to be worn around a persons waist whereby a hoopsuch as the hoop 11 can be more conveniently and effectively spun or .gyratedr According to the present invention, and as for example as shown in FIGURES 1 through 4, the belt 10 can be positioned around a persons waist '13 and the provision of the openings 18 permit the hook member 19 to be arranged in engagement with these openings or apertures 18 so that the belt ends can be hastened together, and the belt can be cut to the proper length to fit the operator. The member 10 is provided with an annular recess or groove 15 in the outer surface so that with the belt 10 in position on a persons body, and with the hoop 1'1 engaging the groove 15, the hoop 141 will be guided in its proper orbit as the person 12 moves his or her body. The groove 15 will thus serve to maintain the hoop 11 in its desired position so that a highly effective manner of revolving or rotating the hoop 11 is provided.
The member 10 can be made of any suitable material such as a single piece of plastic and the member 10 is split as at 17, as previously described.
Referring now to FIGURES 5 and 6 of the drawing, there is illustrated a modification wherein instead of making the member '10 of one generally continuous circular piece of material, the member 29 may be made in two semi-circular sections 22 which are hinged together as at 23. Thus, due to the provision of the-hinge 23, the device can be readily removed from a persons waist or positioned thereon. The recess 21 in the outer portion of the member 20 functions in the same manner as previously described recess 15, that is the recess 21 acts as a guide for the revolving hoop such as the hoop 11.
The parts can be made of any suitable material and in different shapes or sizes.
The belt is adapted to be adjusted to the proper length to fit the operator or user. The recess such as the recess 15 or the recess 21 provides a track for the revolving hoop.
Thus, it will be seen that there has been provided a belt which is adapted to fit around the waistline and the belt can be made of various lengths. The hinge 23 may be provided or used as shown in FIGURES 5 and 6, or if the device is made of plastic, then such a hinge may not be needed. The groove or recess the belt acts as a hoop guide while spinning the hoop.
With further regards to the adjustable features as shown in FIGURE 3 for example, the provision of the plurality of openings 18 on opposite sides of the split 17 are adapted to provide a means whereby the hook member 19 can engage different pairs of the openings on opposite sides of the split. It is to be noted that the contiguous ends of the device on opposite sides of the split abut each other and do not overlap and by moving the ends towards or away from each other and then arranging the hook member in engagement with the proper openings, the parts will be maintained immobile in their desired adjusted positions, and the hook member can be readily disengaged from the openings when a new adjustment is to be made.
Minor changes in shape, size and rearrangement of details coming within the field of invention claimed may be resorted to in actual practice, if desired.
I claim:
1. A device of the character described consisting solely of a circular body member adapted to be positioned around the waist of the user, the outer periphery of the body member being provided with a continuous circular recess therein, a hoop arranged for rotary engagement with said recess, the diameter of said hoop being sub- .stantialiy greater vthan the thebodymember having an inner smooth surface, there diameter of the body member,
being a split in said body member, said body member having openings on opposite sides of the split, and a hook member engaging said openings.
12. A device of the character described consisting solely of ya eiroular body member adapted to be positioned around the-waist of the user, the outer periphery of the body member being provided with a continuous circular recess therein, a hoop arranged for rotary engagement with said recess, the diameter of said hoop being substantially greater than ehe diameter of the body member,
the body member havi-ngan inner smooth surface, there being a split in said body member, said body member having openings on opposite sides of the split, and a hook member engaging said openings, said body member embodying a pair of sections that are :hingedly connected together, said sections being arcuate in formation.
