HANDHELD PUSH-UP DEVICE WITH BUFFERING AND ASSISTING FUNCTIONS
Abstract
The present invention discloses a handheld push-up device with
buffering and assisting functions including a base, an elastic unit
and an extension rod. The base is installed with the elastic unit
and the extension rod is installed on the elastic unit. When an
exerciser uses both hands to press the extension rod downward, the
direct impact force carried by the wrists can be reduced by the
elastic unit, which avoids sport injuries and acts as a supportive
force to a beginner or a person with an inferior physical
strength.

Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] (a) Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a handheld push-up device
with buffering and assisting functions, and more particularly to a
push-up training device with the effects of elastic assistance and
impact buffering.
[0003] (b) Description of the Prior Art
[0004] The push-up is a very popular exercise that can be taken at
any time, and the most common one is an inverted U-shaped push-up
training device. However, as a beginner's arms are unable to carry
the body weight, he or she will often give up after using the
device for a few times, thereby losing the meaning of exercising.
On the other hand, if the exerciser reluctantly pushes the body up
completely or pushes the body up halfway that his or her arms lose
strength, the body will fall down immediately to the ground,
causing damages and accidents.
[0005] There are vendors who have developed all kinds of auxiliary
devices for the push-up exercises, such as the Taiwanese Patent
Publication Nos. M256203, M421135, 201223589. For most of these
push-up devices, the exerciser's chest or abdomen is abutted at a
cushion seat, a cushion or a stand to support the body weight and
reduce the body weight that the arms need to carry.
[0006] All of the abovementioned conventional push-up devices
utilize the exerciser's weight to press down the cushion seat, the
cushion or the stand to assist the push-up exercise, without
completely using the arms' strength to resist the body weight.
Although this kind of push-up device can achieve the exercise
effect superficially, it cannot actually achieve the purpose of
exercising the breast muscles. Moreover, taking the exercise is to
enhance the physical strength and the cardiopulmonary function
(lung capacity), and doing the push-up exercise is primarily to
thicken the breast muscles.
[0007] Therefore, the most fundamental point of exercising is that
when exercising, there should be absolutely no obstacles that press
the chest and affect the cardiopulmonary function to avoid not
breathing smoothly, feeling stuffed in the chest, hypoxia,
vomiting. In addition, as the chest is pressed by an external
force, the development of muscles is limited, which loses the
meaning of exercising and results in more man-made sport injuries.
Therefore, these prior arts need to be improved.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0008] It is therefore the primary object of the present invention
to provide an innovative handheld push-up device with the functions
of elastic assistance and impact buffering. The device applies to
all age groups and can be adapted into various training methods and
effects.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0018] Please refer to FIG. 1, the present invention comprises a
base 10, an elastic unit 20 and an extension rod 30, wherein the
elastic unit 20 is secured on the base 10, and the elastic unit 20
is installed with the extension rod 30 that can press the elastic
unit 20 downward to assist the push-up exercise. Referring to FIGS.
1 to 3, a first embodiment of the present invention comprises
primarily a base 10, an elastic unit 20, an extension rod 30, a
handle 40 and a cover 50, wherein an interior of a cylinder 11
inside the base 10 is provided with a containing space 111 to
emplace the elastic unit 20, an upper end of the elastic unit 20 is
pressed by the extension rod 30, the extension rod 30 is transfixed
into a through-hole 12 of the base 10, a seat 31 which is latched
at a bottom of the extension rod 30 provides for emplacing an upper
part of the elastic unit 20, and a latch block 32 at a top end of
the extension rod 30 is latched into a latch hole 41 at a bottom
end of the handle 40. When the base 10 is to be combined with the
cover 50 at a bottom part thereof, the bottom part of the elastic
unit 20 is sheathed on a bump 51 at a center of a top part of the
cover 50 to balance the elastic unit 20.
[0019] Referring to FIG. 4, when utilizing the device, an exerciser
can use both hands to hold the handles 40 downward to operate the
push-up device with the front or back side facing the ground.
Referring to FIG. 5, the present invention can be used as a push-up
device, and can be also used to train the arm strength of the
exerciser with one hand holding an end of the handle 40, the other
hand holding an end of the cover 50, and both hands pressing
inward.
[0020] As each exerciser has different weight, the gravity that he
or she can carry is different either. If the exerciser is heavier,
the cover 50 can be separated with the base 10 to replace a
stronger elastic unit 20 in the extension rod 30. Referring to FIG.
6, another elastic unit 20' can be added at an inner (or outer)
side of the elastic unit 20 in the containing space 111 in the
cylinder 11 of the base 10, acting like a "ring in a ring" double
spring structure, to increase resistance of the elastic unit
20.
[0021] Referring to FIG. 7, it shows a second embodiment of the
present invention, wherein a base 60 is in an inverted T shape, a
center at a top end of the base 60 is provided with a bump 612, an
interior of a cylinder 61 at a center of the base 60 is provided
with a containing space 611, an interior of the containing space
611 is installed with an elastic unit 70, the elastic unit 70 is
sheathed on the bump 612 to be supported without forming an
imbalance condition by distortion or deformation, and an upper part
of the elastic unit 70 inside the cylinder 61 of the base 60 is
installed with an extension rod 71 in a T shape. The exerciser can
press the extension rod 71 downward by a single hand, allowing the
extension rod 71 to press the elastic unit 70, thereby assisting
the push-up exercise.
[0022] Referring to FIG. 8, it shows a third embodiment of the
present invention. A base 80 is a two-seat unit, each one being in
an L shape. An interior of a cylinder 81 of each base 80 is
provided respectively with a containing space 811. An interior of
the containing space 811 is installed respectively with one elastic
unit 90; whereas, a rod unit 911 at each of two ends of an inverted
U-shaped extension rod 91 is inserted respectively into the
containing space 811 of the cylinder 81 of the base 80. The rod
unit 911 can press at the elastic unit 90. The exerciser presses
the extension rod 91 downward by a single hand, allowing the rod
unit 911 of the extension rod 91 to press at the elastic unit 90,
thereby assisting the push-up exercise.
[0023] Accordingly, the present invention is provided with the
effects of elastic assistance and impact buffering and can be used
for all age groups. With the present invention, a variety of
training methods for exercising the arm strength can be implemented
and a supportive force can be provided to a beginner or a person
with an inferior physical strength, preventing sport injuries that
result from a prolonged heavy pressure to the wrists.
[0024] It is to be understood that the above description and
drawings are only used for illustrating some embodiments of the
present invention, not intended to limit the scope thereof. Any
variation and deviation from the above description and drawings
should be included in the scope of the present invention.
