  • Patent number: 9162157
    Abstract: A magnetic hoop apparatus includes a hollow tube, at least one magnet, a coupling, at least one counterweight, an ornamental tape, and a protective tape. A first end and a second end of the hollow tube are either attached or connected to each other by the coupling creating a circular shape hoop. The at least one magnet and the at least one counterweight are positioned within the hoop, where radial movement of the magnet and the counterweight are restricted by at least one rivet. The ornamental tape is wrapped around the hoop, and the protective tape is wrapped around the ornamental tape adjacent to the at least one magnet. The magnets within multiple magnetic hoops attach with each other in order to create a system of hoop while the counterweights within the multiple magnetic hoops balance the system of hoop.
