AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an improved training tool for users who want to learn how to handle a sloshing process. By using a clear tube with a visual aid, such as color liquid or multiple balls, it becomes easier for users to identify and balance the tubes they are handling. This saves time and money because there's no requirement for trainers. Additionally, this allows users to modify the overall weight of the tank without changing its size.

Problems solved by technology

Slosh Tubes have been widely used but some issues exist because the liquid inside them moves around and causes difficulty for trainers to maintain stability. This makes it hard for individuals to improve their balancing skills. However, this problem has now been solved through the creation of a new type of slop tube called a Clear Tube. By having a transparent window, trainers and others can observe the movements of the person during training and make adjustments accordingly. This allows for improved safety and faster learning. Additionally, the new design includes options like adding weights or changing the viscosity of the liquid to increase the challenge and provide different levels of resistance.

Embodiment Construction

[0028]FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the invention permits an individual to use a slosh tube grabbing the exterior of the clear hollow tube (1) filled with a colored liquid (2) a solid ball (3) contained therein. As displayed in FIG. 1, attached at each end of the tube (1) are two end caps (4) in order to contain the liquid (2) and ball (3).

[0029]In between the two end-caps caps (4) inside the tube (1), the liquid (2) and ball (3) move along depending on the balance of the tube (1). The weight of the tube (1) will shift as the liquid (2) and ball (3) will naturally collect at the lower portion of the bar (1).

[0030]The liquid (2) and ball (3) are held within the tube (1) by the means of end caps (4) on each side of the tube (1).

[0031]As shown in FIG. 2, the tube (1) can be manufactured to possess smaller lengths (5) to be used as lighter weights or as dumbbells depending on the size the individual user is dealing with.

[0032]FIG. 3 shows more det...
