There is an "elastic ring for training" described in the specification and drawings of No. 76205 (Utility Model Application Publication No. 187758/1988).

The former "rubber expander" is simply a cross-connection of two rope rings. Moreover, the latter "elastic ring for training" is simply a plurality of elastic adjustment rings with different diameters that are removably superposed.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) All of the above-mentioned tools are mainly aimed at strengthening muscle strength, and the "rubber expander" requires considerable force to use, so it is not suitable for young people. Therefore, it is not suitable for use by elderly people who lack strength. and,
Because it is simply a cross-connection of two rope rings,
It cannot be used in a variety of ways.

In addition, the "elastic ring for training" is simply a combination of a plurality of elastic adjustment rings with different diameters that can be attached and detached, and cannot be used in a variety of ways.

However, since both tools are intended to strengthen muscle strength, they can be used by adults and the elderly who are not as strong as young people.
For example, ensuring the flexibility of the shoulder joints and upper body, correcting the hunched back and spine, stretching the back of the knees, strengthening the abdominal muscles, back muscles, and leg strength, and promoting blood circulation to prevent diseases and maintain health.
No effect of enhancement or correction can be obtained.

This idea was made in view of the above circumstances,
It does not require special force and can be easily handled.
Even if used by weak adults or elderly people, it can be used, for example, to maintain the flexibility of the shoulder joints and upper body, correct the stooped back and spine, etc.
Stretching the back of the knees, strengthening abdominal muscles, back muscles, and leg strength,
The purpose is to provide gymnastics equipment that has excellent effects such as disease prevention such as promotion of blood circulation, health maintenance/promotion, and correction.

[Structure of the invention] (Means for solving the problem) This invention consists of one first ring and this first ring.
four second rings movably cross-connected to the ring of
and two third rings movably cross-connected to two adjacent second rings at the same time so as to group the four second rings into two rings, Each of the rings has elasticity, and the sizes of the first, second, and third rings are set in the following relationship: first ring > second ring > third ring. It is gymnastics equipment.

(Function) According to this invention, it can be easily handled without requiring special force, and even when used by weak adults or elderly people, it can maintain flexibility of the shoulder joints and upper body, for example.
Correction of hunched back and spine, stretching of the back of the knees, abdominal muscles,
It has excellent effects such as strengthening the back muscles and leg strength, preventing diseases such as promoting blood circulation, maintaining and improving health, and correcting symptoms.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of this invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

The gymnastics equipment according to this invention is constructed as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Fig. 1 is a plan view showing the whole, and Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A' in Fig. 1 in the direction of the arrow. FIG.

That is, although the reference numeral 1 in the figure is the first ring,
In this embodiment, it is composed of one piece, and is formed, for example, in a circular shape.

Two circular second rings 2, 3, 4, and 5, for example, are movably cross-connected to the first ring 1, facing each other. Furthermore, so that the second rings 2, 3, 4, and 5 are grouped into two pieces each,
To two adjacent second rings 2, 3, 4, 5, ie 2, 3 and 4, 5, for example circular third rings 6, 7 are simultaneously and movably cross-connected.

In this case, the first ring 1, the second ring 2,
The relationship between the sizes of the rings 3, 4, 5, and the third rings 6, 7 is set such that the first ring>the second ring>the third ring. That is, for example, the inner diameter of the first ring 1 is 30 cm, the second ring 2, 3,
The inner diameter of rings 4 and 5 is 15 cm, and the inner diameter of third rings 6 and 7 is 6 cm.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, each of the rings 1 to 7 is made of, for example, a spectacle tube made of synthetic resin, and has elasticity.

It should be noted that each ring may be the same single color, but it is more vivid to the eye and motivates the gymnastics to be colored, so in this embodiment, for example, the first ring 1 is red, and the second rings 2 and 5 are colored. are colored yellow, the second rings 3 and 4 are colored green, and the third rings 6 and 7 are colored black.

Now, next, examples (six examples) of use of the above-mentioned gymnastics equipment will be explained. Note that Usage Examples 1 to 5 are for use by one person, and Usage Example 6 is for use by two people, and since each ring has elasticity, it stretches when used.

(Usage example 1) Hold the third rings 6 and 7 in each hand and rotate them back and forth, up and down, and left and right to make the shoulder joints flexible.

(Usage example 2) Hook the sole of your left foot on the second ring 2, hook the sole of your right foot on the second ring 3, hold the second ring 4 in your left hand, and hold the second ring 5 in your right hand. . In this state, sit in a long seat and bend and pull your elbows to lift your feet off the floor and form a V-shape to maintain your balance. Repeat this many times. As a result,
Your abdominal muscles and thigh muscles will be strengthened.

(Usage example 3) Sit on a long seat, hook the second rings 2 and 3 on the sole of your left foot, hook the second rings 4 and 5 on the sole of your right foot, hold the third ring 6 in your left hand, and hold the third ring 6 in your right hand. has a third ring 7. In this state, if you bend your elbows and then bend forward while pulling them, the back of your knees will stretch significantly compared to when you are not holding anything.

(Usage example 4) Lie on your back, hook one leg on the second rings 2 and 3, hold the third ring 7 in both hands, and bend your body in an arched shape to strengthen your back muscles.

(Usage example 5) Hook the second ring 2 on the sole of your right foot, hook the second ring 3 on the sole of your left foot, hold the third ring 7 in both hands, and lie down on your back. Then, place your elbows on the floor, squeeze your sides, and lift your back upwards while simultaneously resting the top of your head on the floor in a yoga fish pose.

(Usage example 6) This example 6 is performed by two people, and two tools are used.

That is, two people sit on a long seat with the soles of their feet touching each other. Then, both of them hold the third ring 6 in their left hand and the third ring 7 in their right hand, and pull each other. This is an abdominal muscle forward bending exercise in which one person bends forward while the other person lies down, and they do this in turn.

The above usage examples are just a few, and
In addition to this, various usage examples can be considered.

Note that when the third rings 6 and 7 are held in both hands and pulled, they are symmetrical, and the flexibility, elasticity, and weight are balanced.

Furthermore, since the first ring 1 is large, the expansion and contraction ratio as a whole is large.

(Modification) FIG. 3 shows a modification of this invention, which provides the same effects as the above embodiment.

That is, in the case of FIG. 3, two first rings 1 are used and movably cross-connected, and second rings 2, 3 and 4, 5 and third rings 6,
7 are movably cross-connected.

It goes without saying that the inner diameter of each ring is not limited to the values in the above embodiments, but should be changed as appropriate depending on height, body shape, age, gender, etc.

Further, in the above embodiment, each ring is made of a spectacle tube made of synthetic resin, but it is not necessarily limited to this, and other materials having elasticity may be used.

Furthermore, although each ring is circular in the above embodiment, it is not necessarily limited to a circular shape. Furthermore, the coloring of each ring is not limited to the colors of the above embodiments.

[Effects of the invention] According to this invention, it can be easily handled without requiring special force, and even when used by weak adults or elderly people, it can maintain flexibility of the shoulder joints and upper body, for example.
Correction of hunched back and spine, stretching of the back of the knees, abdominal muscles,
It has remarkable effects on disease prevention, health maintenance, promotion, and correction by strengthening back muscles and leg strength, promoting blood circulation, etc.

It is also ideal as a gymnastics tool that activates the autonomic nervous system and balances the body and mind. When not in use and hung on the wall or placed on the floor, each ring is circular, vertically symmetrical, and appropriately colored, so when it comes into view, it helps to maintain a calm mental state. Helps correct sagging autonomic nerves. It can also be used as interior decoration.
