  • Publication number: 20160249741
    Abstract: A ball chair may include a chair base and a restricting unit. The chair base has a circular receiving space to receive a ball and an inner portion of the receiving space has a connecting portion that has at least two through holes. The restricting unit has an arc board and a connecting post conjugating with the connecting portion. A restricting board extends from the arc board corresponding to the connecting recessed portion, and the restricting board is protruding from an upper portion of the receiving space.

  • Publication number: 20140265072
    Abstract: An electronically controlled damping structure in fitness equipment may include a base, an adjusting unit and a driving component. A passive component of the adjusting unit can move in a receiving space of the base by the driving component to adjust the distance between the passive component and a top unit to further adjust the resilient coefficient of a buffer unit. So, when the user is exercising on the fitness equipment, he/she does not have to adjust the damping manually to increase the practicability of the fitness equipment, and it is more convenient for the user to adjust the damping.

  • Patent number: 8597163
    Abstract: A gyration type exercising device includes a gyration unit (10), a damper (20) and a drive handle (30). The gyration unit includes a mounting frame (11) and a rotation wheel (12) rotatably mounted on the mounting frame and driven by the drive handle. The rotation wheel is provided with a rotation shaft (121). The drive handle has a first end pivotally connected with the rotation wheel and a second end provided with a holding bar (31). Thus, when the user's two hands hold the holding bar to move the drive handle in a gyration manner, the user's body has to move forward and backward and has to exert a force on the drive handle successively to rotate the rotation wheel reciprocally so as to exercise the user's body completely.

  • Patent number: 7285080
    Abstract: An exercising device includes a ball, and a rod extended through the ball. Thus, the ball has a periphery formed with two through holes each having a peripheral wall formed with a pressing lip which presses the rod closely after the ball is inflated to form a sealing effect to seal the chamber of the ball to maintain the air in the chamber of the ball, so that the ball is sealed on the rod exactly without incurring air leakage. In addition, the manufacturer only needs to form two through holes in the periphery of the ball without having to form a hollow channel which is extended through the whole diameter of the ball, thereby facilitating fabrication of the ball, and thereby decreasing costs of fabrication.

  • Publication number: 20070028475
    Abstract: A sphere diameter measuring scale has a flexible ruler, and a zero is marked on one end. Multiple calibrations are evenly marked on the same face with the zero. Each scale has a reading number representing a corresponding diameter length, and when an exercise health ball or a ball chair is filled with air, the semi perimeter and the diameter length of the ball can be obtained conveniently.

  • Patent number: 7140677
    Abstract: A ball chair has a seat, a backrest assembly and a ball cushion. The seat has a top face, a passage defined in the top surface of the seat, at least three legs formed on the seat and each leg and a supporting base formed on seat. The backrest assembly mounted on the seat and has a bracket, an angle adjusting device, a locking device and a fixed arm. The bracket has two supporting tabs defined in the bottom of the bracket to abut against the supporting base. The ball cushion is mounted inside the passage in the seat. The ball chair provides functions as adjusting backrest angle and the backrest may be extended for convenient use.

  • Patent number: 7093329
    Abstract: An elastic snapping device includes an elastic cord having two distal ends each formed with an end opening, a snapping tool mounted on the elastic cord and having a distal end formed with an enlarged plug inserted into the end opening of the elastic cord, and an elastic sleeve mounted on a connection of the elastic cord and the snapping tool. Thus, the elastic sleeve is mounted on the connection of the elastic cord and the snapping tool closely, so that the snapping tool is combined with the elastic cord rigidly and stably, thereby preventing the snapping tool from detaching from the elastic cord during a long-term utilization.

  • Patent number: 7044558
    Abstract: A ball chair with a retaining device has a seat (10), a spherical cushion (20) and two retaining pieces. The spherical cushion (20) rests on the seat (10). The two retaining pieces are selective retaining rods or retaining walls and are respectively attached to a rear end and a front end of the seat (10). Thus, the spherical cushion (20) is held between the two retaining pieces and firmly secured on the seat (10) to keep the spherical cushion (20) from falling off the ball chair.

  • Patent number: 6832817
    Abstract: A ball chair with a securing device has a seat (10) with a backrest (14), a ball-shaped cushion (20), a guard rod (30) holding the ball-shaped cushion (20) with the backrest (14), multiple strengthening blocks (40) attached under the seat (10), and multiple legs attached to the seat (10) by the multiple strengthening blocks (40). Each strengthening block (40) is non-hollow to provide an anti-crack efficiency to joints connected to the legs. Additionally, a cone-shaped post is clamped between one strengthening block (40) and one corresponding leg to adjust a total height of the ball chair.
