Abstract

L'invention concerne un hula hoop souple et extensible, qui comprend un anneau extérieur pouvant être arrondi facilement et sans inconvénient et mis en rotation autour de la taille avec un effet acoustique ou un effet visuel. Le hula hoop comprend un anneau extérieur (1) souple et extensible en forme de serpentin; un anneau intérieur (3) souple et extensible incorporé dans l'anneau extérieur; et une bande (5) placée entre l'anneau extérieur (1) et l'anneau intérieur (3) et limitant leur longueur d'extension maximale. Les extrémités avant opposées de l'anneau extérieur (1) sont intégralement articulées par une paire d'éléments d'assemblage (7) présentant une rainure en spirale (7c) sur le côté intérieur, et l'élément d'assemblage (7) peut être fixé avec un moyen de production de sons ou un moyen d'émission de lumière. Etant donné que le hula hoop présente une double structure à anneaux extérieur et intérieur et que le poids de l'anneau intérieur est accru, même un débutant peut en jouer facilement. Un effet d'acupression peut être imprimé à la taille par les éléments d'assemblage (7) pendant le jeu. Le hula hoop peut aussi être utilisé pour des exercices d'étirement ou de musculation.
