Description
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to innovation of resistance
training bands, and more particularly to a training band that
possesses excellent characteristics of firmness of connecting,
allowing easy disconnecting by a user and also exhibiting powerful
resisting.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
[0002] Resistance training bands that are commonly available in the
market for looping around a user's body are generally made of a
band body and a hook-and-loop fastener. The band body of such a
kind of resistance training bands is generally elastic, and a hook
part and a loop part of the hook-and-loop fastener are respectively
mounted to two ends of the band body. As such, a user may wrap the
band body around the body and secured with the hook-and-loop
fastener, in order to perform training or do exercise, or to carry
out resistance training by connection with assisting equipment.
[0003] However, connecting or bonding with the hook-and-loop
fastener, of which each part is arranged in a one-sided form is not
strong enough to support high intensity exercise training and
consequently, the hook-and-loop fastener may get disintegrated and
separated or even broken. This may in turn cause injury to a user
during the course of exercise or training.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0004] The primary objective of the present invention is to
overcome and improve the above-discussed shortcomings of the prior
art by making use of a combination of a first coupling unit and a
second coupling unit to enable fast wearing by a user and to
provide an excellent property of firm connecting, allowing an
elastic unit to exhibit powerful resistance and easing
disconnecting by a user after exercise training.
[0005] To achieve the above objective, the provides a resistance
training band, which comprises: an elastic unit, a first coupling
unit, and a second coupling unit. The first coupling unit is
arranged at one end of the elastic unit. The first coupling unit
comprises a pinch section. The second coupling unit is arranged at
an opposite end of the elastic unit. The second coupling unit is
connectable with the pinch section of the first coupling unit in a
detachable and removable manner.
[0006] In an embodiment of the resistance training band, the
elastic unit comprises one of an elastic fabric, an elastic band,
and an elastic rope.
[0007] In an embodiment of the resistance training band, the pinch
section has two inner sides that are respectively provided with
hooked surfaces facing each other and the second coupling unit has
two outer sides that are respectively provided with looped surfaces
facing away from each other, such that the hooked surfaces of the
pinch section of the first coupling unit are respectively
connectable with, and thus pinched between, the looped surfaces of
the second coupling unit in a detachable manner.
[0008] In an embodiment of the resistance training band, the pinch
section has two inner sides that are respectively provided with
looped surfaces facing each other and the second coupling unit has
two outer sides that are respectively provided with hooked surfaces
facing away from each other, such that the looped surfaces of the
pinch section of the first coupling unit are respectively
connectable with, and thus pinched between, the hooked surfaces of
the second coupling unit in a detachable manner.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0009] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a structure of the
present invention.
[0010] FIG. 2 is a schematic view illustrating a condition of use
of the present invention.
[0011] FIG. 3 is another schematic view illustrating a condition of
use of the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0012] Referring to FIGS. 1-3, which are respectively a perspective
view showing a structure of the present invention and schematic
view illustrating a condition of use of the present invention, as
shown in the drawings, the present invention provides a resistance
training band. The resistance training structure is made up of at
least an elastic unit 1, a first coupling unit 2, and a second
coupling unit 3.
[0013] The first coupling unit 2 is mounted to one end of the
elastic unit 1. The first coupling unit 2 comprises a pinch section
21.
[0014] The second coupling unit 3 is mounted to an opposite end of
the elastic unit 1. The second coupling unit 3 is connectable to
the pinch section 21 of the first coupling unit 2 in a detachable
manner.
[0015] Thus, a user, when attempting to do exercise or training,
may wrap the elastic unit 1 around his or her body through pulling
of the elastic unit.
[0016] With the elastic unit 1 so wrapped around the body, the
first coupling unit 2 may use the pinch section 21 to pinch and fix
the second coupling unit 3, so as to connect with the second
coupling unit 3 through pinching realized with the pinch section
21. This would secure the elastic unit 1 around the body and resist
disintegration and separation when subjected to strong pulling. As
such, the user may make use of the collaborative combination of the
first coupling unit 2 and the second coupling unit 3 to achieve
fast wearing and ensure excellent property of firm connection,
allowing the elastic unit 1 to demonstrate powerful resistance.
[0017] To remove from the body, the pinch section 21 is separated
and the second coupling unit 3 is removed from the pinch section
21. This enables easy removal and detachment after exercise
training and also helps prevent injury caused by undesired
detachment of the connection.
[0018] In an embodiment of the present invention, the elastic unit
1 can be an elastic fabric, an elastic band, or an elastic rope. In
this way, powerful resistance can be exhibited according to
requirement for actual exercise or training.
[0019] In an embodiment of the present invention, the pinch section
21 has two inner sides, which are provided with hooked surfaces 211
(or looped surface) facing each other, while the second coupling
unit 3 has two outer sides, which are provided with looped surfaces
31 (or hooked surfaces) facing away from each other, so that the
hooked surfaces 211 of the pinch section 21 of the first coupling
unit 2 may connect with the looped surfaces 31 of the second
coupling unit 3 in a detachable or removable manner.
[0020] As such, the first coupling unit 2 makes use of each hooked
surface 211 of the pinch section 21 to pinch and connect with each
looped surface 31 of the second coupling unit 3, allowing the pinch
section 21 to use each of the hooked surfaces 211 on the two inner
sides thereof to pinch and connect with each of the looped surfaces
31 on the two outer sides of the second coupling unit 3, and thus
preventing the elastic unit 1 from easily disintegrating and
separating when it is wrapped around a human body. As such, the
user may make use of the collaborative combination of the first
coupling unit 2 and the second coupling unit 3 to achieve fast
wearing and ensure excellent property of firm connection, allowing
the elastic unit 1 to demonstrate powerful resistance.
[0021] On the other hand, the user, when attempting to remove the
band from his or her body, separates and detach the pinch section
21 to allow one of the hooked surfaces 211 of the pinch section 21
to disengage from one of the looped surfaces 31 and then, the other
one of the looped surfaces 31 of the second coupling unit 3 is
disengaged from the other one of the hooked surfaces 211 of the
pinch section 21. This allows for easy detachment and removal after
exercise training and helps prevent injury caused by undesired
separation and detachment of the connection.
[0022] In summary, the present invention provides a resistance
training band, which could effectively and significantly improve
the commonly known shortcomings of the prior art and allows a user
to fast wearing through the collaborative combination between the
first coupling unit and the second coupling unit. Further, with the
characteristics of firm connecting, the elastic unit is allowed to
exhibit powerful resisting. Further, detachment and removal can be
easily done by the user after exercise training. All these make the
invention practical and suit general needs.
