Hula hoop with air discharge function

The present invention relates to a hula hoop having an air discharge function, and more particularly, to provide an improved hula hoop that can be used to change and use other sports equipment while maximizing the exercise effect while playing and exercising using the hula hoop.

In general, the hula hoop is provided in the shape of a circular ring and placed on the user's waist, and then the user rotates the waist in a circular manner or generates a recoil so that the hula hoop rotates along the waist to perform a waist movement or for entertainment purposes. In addition to the waist, by using the neck or other parts of the body to exercise or play.

The hula hoop as described above has been developed to have a variety of types and designs and is currently being widely used.

The general hula hoop (1) is made of a plastic (synthetic resin) material, the hollow tube having a predetermined length and having a predetermined length is bent into a circular shape having a predetermined diameter to have a hoop body (2), Both ends are coupled to the connecting means (3) such as core material is configured to maintain a circular shape.

Since the hula hoop to which the prior art is applied is a configuration in which a simple tube is connected, it is not easy to pursue special fun other than rotating by using a body, and there is a disadvantage and monotony that can not actually increase the exercise effect easily. There is a problem that the hula hoop composed of a plastic material is too light so that it is difficult to easily rotate.

In order to solve such a problem, there is a method of forming acupressure protrusions integrally on the surface of the hula hoop, which allows the body to be connected to the hula hoop in the process of playing or exercising using the hula hoop.

In the case of the hula hoop with acupressure protrusions, the pressure is too strong to cause damage depending on the shape of the acupressure protrusion and the weight of the hula hoop. There is a disadvantage of not satisfying the whole.

As another example, a plurality of hula hoops are separated, and each of the separated hula hoops forms a coupling means so that the user configures the hula hoops by assembling in the separated state so as to induce or inspire the user's interest during the hula hoop play or exercise. There is also.

Thus, in the case of the prefabricated hula hoop, the size of the hula hoop assembled can be varied according to the user's physical condition or age, and thus the effect of equipping a plurality of hula hoops with one hula hoop is provided. It also has the advantage of reducing the burden.

However, although the size of the hula hoop can be varied and the interest caused by the assembly may have some effects in the early stage, there is a limit in inducing long-term use, such as the interest decreases over time, and induces demonstration. .

In the case of the prefabricated hula hoop, the volume is reduced when it is separated, but there is an easy portability and storage. However, when one of the hula hoops is lost, the entire hula hoop cannot be used.

In addition, each connection part constituting the hula hoop is fragile and easily separated and dropped during the exercise using the hula hoop frequently occurs, as well as other uses other than the hula hoop is not useful at all There are a number of problems occurring.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, the hula hoop body having a plurality of arcs in the shape of the hula hoop, coupled to both sides of the hula hoop body connected to the other hula hoop body to make a single hula hoop having a circular shape A connecting means configured to be able to be connected to the inside of the hula hoop body, an increasing means for increasing the exercise power, and a variable means for utilizing the hula hoop body and the connecting means as another exercise device;

The function of the hula hoop can be used as well as other exercise equipments, and the exercise effect can be enhanced, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the convenience of users and contributing to the improvement of the quality of the hula hoop.

The present invention provides a vibrating effect in the process of using the hula hoop by using a built-in means to increase the amount of momentum while prefabricating the hula hoop, as well as to separate and use to convert to other exercise equipment By discharging air in the process of using the hula hoop to cool the heat generated by the movement has a variety of effects, such as increasing the convenience of the user while increasing the utilization of the hula hoop.
