Home Gymnastic belt
  • The problem to be solved:
    The gymnastics and the physical exercises that are moving the different parts of the body (middle hip, waist, rear) require some skill (using a hula-hoop) or tiresome exercises (e. g. aerobic). Various and expensive devices would be required for the massaging of the different parts of the body. To overcome these requirements the home gymnastic belt offers a common and easy solution for this problem.
  • Definition:
    The invention is a device in the form of a belt, held by a frame that is mounted on the wall, lending an easy and comfortable possibility to keep the fitness of the user by simple exercises without exhaustive efforts.
  • Presentation:
    The invention is a belt that can be put on around the waist having a form of a strap composed of vertically arranged small wooden or plastic ball strings. The belt is held by a semicircular frame and it is fastened to the frame using a rubber cordon that holds the belt in the centre of the frame. Wooden pins tie the rubber cordon to the frame around. The frame is fastened to the wall by means of two hinge joints at its centre, while, at both one of the open ends of the frame there is one handle eyelet each, that is used to lift and lower manually the open ends of the frame moving up and down the belt along the body. This vertical movement and the circular movement of the body realise the massage of the actual part of the body.

  • Application:
