Description

HAND-GRABBING ARTICLE FOR RUNNERS

Technical Field

The present^" invention relates to an auxiliary exercise article which canbe worn in a body during running or walking, andmore particularly to, a hand-grabbing article for runners which activates energy of the body of a runner if he or her puts on the hand-grabbing article in his or her hand during running or walking to thereby enhance a running or walking speed.

Background Art

There are certain principles or reasons in all kinds of natural phenomena. However, there exist phenomena such as extrasensory perception (ESP), tarot, levitation, remote treatment, spiritual remedy, configurational energy, water vein and far infrared ray effects, which are not understood in a common sense and explained scientifically. Such supernatural phenomena are called paranormal collectively.

Although unknown areas such as paranormal phenomena cannot be scientifically explained, many a specialist have conducted researches in the human's supernatural and paranormal phenomena, and made a demonstration, thereby showing facts of the human's supernatural and paranormal phenomena visibly in various fields.

The actual examples of paranormal phenomena which can be widely experienced in the actual life will be described below, in order to recognize usefulness of the present invention.

The paranormal phenomena represent that music, energy, vibration, wavelength, color, psychokinesises, etc., is applied to an organism or an inanimated object to thereby make a certain influence upon it directly or indirectly.

As to a paranormal phenomenon, there was known a Mozart's effect as a result of researches in the Urvine Research Institute of University of California in the U.S.A. in 1993. The Mozart's effect is to expedite development of brains of children by using music. Although some dissenters opposed the reliability of the Mozart's effect, it brought about the worldwide syndrome. As a result, it made a conclusion that vibration, wavelength, psychokinesises, telepathy, energy, etc., created by certain music, rhythm, light, color, makes a direct or indirect influence upon a living creature or an inanimated object. Thus, products adopting many applications have been being developed and sold.

However it is difficult to prove such a paranormal phenomenon scientifically, a change in an actual wavelength appears when music is applied to a plant. As a result, a growth rate of the plant becomes fast. In case that music is applied to domestic animals, it has been proved through an experiment that breeding and production of milk is increased.

The above-proved fact is applied to the human as well as plants or living stocks. That is, since a mental stability state of a pregnant woman influences upon an embryo, antenatal training music records for pregnant women have been issued. Also, auxiliary learning devices using brain waves have been developed in order to improve learning effects of students or adults.

In the case of colors, it has been known that red color wavelengths accelerate fatigue of eyes, and green color wavelengths relax fatigue of eyes. Also, colors are classified into cool or warm colors in view of a human sense. In this point of view, the paranormal phenomena make supernatural influences upon living creatures during the time when human beings do not recognize such phenomena. In order to obtain a far infrared ray effect caused by far infrared rays emitted frommaterials created in the nature, products or facilities using ceramic materials, jade, yellow soil, etc., have been provided

Useful effects caused and influenced upon the human body by the far infrared rays had been questioned in the past. However, at present, the useful effects of the far infrared rays have been accepted.

For example, when ripened vegetables such as the Korean ripened vegetables called Kimchi and sauces such as soy and bean paste are kept in store for a long time, it cannot be denied that it is more efficient to store them in a ceramic ware than in a plastic container in view of a quality and taste of the ripened foods.

Also, since an O-ring test is based on a resonance principle, and the identical energy is resonated to thereby amplify wavelength of the material wave, it is understood that the strength of the material wave becomes stronger. In more specific, if a gold ring or a silver ring is selectively worn into respective fingers, phenomena that remarkable differences occur in muscular strength tests in comparison with the case that the gold ring or the silver ring is not worn into the respective fingers, can be undergone. Accordingly, the applicant of the present invention has applied a paranormal phenomenon to a physical training auxiliary device so that the paranormal phenomenon can be directly adapted to the daily life, to thereby do good for promoting the .welfare of the people.

Disclosure of the Indention

To solve the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a hand-grabbing article for runners or walkers which is lightly worn in a hand during running or walking based on experimental results that runningorwalking is enhanced if the runners orwalkersmake exercises while holding a certain object with the hand, which reveals a phenomenon that a flow of a magnetic field formed in the human body is changed to thereby multiply the spiritual energy in an unknown supernatural energy region xhich is not possible to be clearly explained about but exists in the natural phenomena system. To accomplish the above object of the present invention, according to the present invention, there is provided a hand-grabbing article for runners or walkers, which is formed in a size which can be caught by a hand, the hand-grabbing article comprising: a grip including a cylindrical center portion, and end portions which are extended from the center portion and whose cross-sectional widths are gradually narrowed in both directions from the center portion; and at least one finger insertion ringwhich is formed on the outer circumferential portion of the grip. Preferably, the grip is formed in a size which can be completely enclosed by the palm and the fingers when the fingers are folded in a round shape.

Preferably, the finger insertion ring is formed to maintain a natural ivearing state without gripping the hand-grabbing article by inserting at least one finger into the hand insertion ring before catching hold of the grip.

Accordingly, if a hand-grabbing article for runners or walkers according to the present invention is simply worn in a hand during running or walking, the physical energy of the wearer's body is activated acceleratedly by the article caught by the hand and thus contraction and release of the muscles is smoothly performed, to thereby enhance a running or walking strength.

Best Mode for Carrying out the Invention

Hereinbelow, a hand-grabbing article for runners or walkers according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The like or same elements are assigned the like or same reference numerals all over the drawings, for convenience of explanation.

A hand-grabbing article for runners or walkers according to the following embodiment of the present invention has been described with respect to particularly preferred embodiment. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and it is possible for one who has an ordinary skill in the art to make various modifications and variations, without departing off the spirit of the present invention, as intended, based on the following embodiment.

Referring to FIGs. 1 to 3, a hand-grabbing article for runners or walkers according to a single embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

As shown, the hand-grabbing article for runners or walkers includes a grip 1 and a finger insertion ring 2.

The grip 1 is cylindrically shaped. A center portion 10 whose cross-section is thicker at a substantially centerportion, in comparison with the other portions .

The center portion 10 in the grip 1 is formed in a size which can be completely accommodated in a space enclosed by the palm and the fingers when the fingers are folded in a round shape. Also, end portions 20 and 30 are formed, which are extended in both directions from the center portion 10.

The end portions 20 and 30 are formed of the center portion 10 and a dully curved outer circumferential surface 40, so that cross-sectional widths of theendportions 20 and 30 are gradually narrowed in both directions from the center portion 10. Spherical decorative portions 50 and 60 are formed in the ends of the end portions 20 and 30, respectively.

The spherical decorative portions 50 and 60 do not perform particular functions in the hand-grabbing article for runners or walkers, but are provided to raise an external esthetic sense.

The grip 1 including the center portion 10 and the end portions 20 and 30 is not limited to the above-described shape, but can be fabricated in various shapes. For example,, the external circumferential surface 40 can be made into the outer circumferential surface of a cylinder whose cross-section is uniform, but is preferably made into a smoothly curved surface so that a feeling of contacting the palm becomes better and a wearer wears it more conveniently.

The grip 1 can be fabricated using various materials such as wood, compressed paper, metal, synthetic resin, stone, etc., alone or in combination of two or more materials.

Wood, compressedpaper, and syntheticresinare comparativelylight, and thus widely used for the grip 1 since users do not feel heavy. In particular, since wood and compressed paper can absorb moisture, it is useful for persons who sweat profusely in the palm to use a hand-grabbing article made of wood or compressed paper.

In the case of metal, the grip 1 is made of metal which is well fit for physical constitution of persons based on the oriental four-phase medical science, for example, metal such as gold or silver as a representative example. It is preferable that metal is plated on the grip 1 individually. Also, in the case that the grip 1 is made of metal of different kinds but same size, it can weigh differently according to the kinds of metal. Accordingly, users can select a hand-grabbing article which weighs appropriately considering their own muscular and physical strength, respectively, to thereby reinforcemuscular strengths of arms simultaneously while running or walking.

In the case of stone materials, it is preferable that the grip 1 is made of stone such as jade which emits energy profitable for the human body.

The finer insertion ring 2 is made of leather, or soft synthetic resin x.hich can be deformed elastically, and is fixed on the outer circumferential surface of the grip 1 at an adhesive portion 70 using an adhesive material . The finer insertion ring 2 is naturally penetrated through in the direction of inserting a finger into the ring 2. Also, a contractible band 80 is formed in an open space which is formed in the upper portion of the ring 2. The finer insertion ring 2 can be formed in a circular form without having the contractible band 80.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a hand-grabbing article for runners or walkers according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4, three finer insertion rings 2a, 2b and 2c are further provided on the grip 1 in addition to the above-described finer insertion ring 2. Thus, four fingers except for the thumb can be fitted into the four rings 2a, 2, 2b, and 2c, respectively.

Also, in this embodiment, a number of protrusions 90 are formed with an appropriate interval on the outer circumferential surface 40a of the grip la, so as to stimulate the palm to quicken the circulation of the blood. Also, charcoal powder 100 is mixed in the grip la.

An appropriate amount of charcoal poι-.der 100 is mixed in the process of fabricating compressed paper ι-jhich is used for fabricating the grip la. By doing so, as is x-ell known, good efficacy of charcoal x-hich has an effect upon the human body can be obtained by x-.earing a hand-grabbing article according to the present invention.

In order to test usefulness of the hand-grabbing article according to the present invention experimentally, a number of persons who wear the hand-grabbing article according to the present invention run several times by a predetermined distance, and then an average time of running records is calculated. Meanwhile, the number of persons run several times by a predetermined distance, at the state where they do not wear the hand-grabbing article according to the present invention and then an average time of running records is calculated. As a result, it can be identified that the running records of the case that the hand-grabbing article according to the present invention has been worn in the hand is little more enhanced than the case that the hand-grabbing article according to the present invention has not been worn in the hand.

It is difficult to explain about the reason or cause of enhancement of records scientifically. In view of psychological or general phases, the case that a person takes hold of an object in his or her hand, can heighten psychological stability and attention in comparison with the case that the person do not take hold of an object in his or her hand.

Industrial Applicability

As describedabove, thehand-grabbing article for runners orwalkers according to the present invention enhances concentrative attention and activates the spiritual energy of the human body when a user x-jears it in his or her hand and runs or walks, to accordingly enhance running or x^alking strength and thus maximize an exercise effect. Also, the hand-grabbing article according to the present invention gives a benefit to the human body by using charcoal powder. Also, in the case that the grip is fabricated by using heavy metal, the muscular strength of arms can be enhanced.

As described above, the hand-grabbing article for runners or walkers according^"to the present invention can be applied to an auxiliary exercise article which can be worn in a body during running or walking.

Also, the hand-grabbing article according to the present invention can be applied to a finger-pressure article.
