Balancing exerciser

Abstract

A balancing exerciser includes an immovable base having a socket opening for pivotally engaging with a universal joint device which has a shank, a plate is located above the base for supporting a user and includes a hole for engaging with the shank, and a knob engaged with the shank of the universal joint device and engaged with the plate for securing the plate to the shank of the universal joint device and for attempting to maintain the plate in a horizontal position or status and for allowing the user to conduct the balancing exercises or operations. The shank of the universal joint device is selected from a threaded shank for engaging with the threaded hole of the plate and for adjusting the plate toward and away from the base.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a balancing exerciser, and more particularly to a balancing exerciser including an improved and simplified structure that may be easily and quickly manufactured with a reduced manufacturing procedure and cost and that may be easily transported or carried with the user and that may be easily operated by the user.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]Typical balancing exercisers comprise a disk or plate or foot support for supporting a user thereon, and for attempting to maintain the disk or plate or foot support in a horizontal position or status, or for allowing the user to conduct the balancing exercises or operations.[0005]For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,092,586 to Tuthill et al. discloses one of the typical disk balancing exercisers comprising a disk or plate or foot support with threaded hole in its center for threading or engaging with the threaded bolt or screw which includes a h...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a balancing exerciser that has a simplified structure, is easy to make and use, and can be easily transported or carried. It includes a locking pin that allows for adjustment of the plate position relative to the base. The technical effects of this invention are to provide a more efficient and effective balancing exerciser that is convenient and cost-effective.

Problems solved by technology

However, the threaded bolt or screw and the foot support may be inclined or tilted a lot relative to the supporting surface or ground, and the users, particularly the elders and the children may feel afraid and may not use or operate the typical disk balancing exercisers.

However, the typical mechanical surfboard simulators include a rather complicated structure that may not be easily manufactured and assembled by the manufacturing workers and that may not be easily carried and transported by the users and that may not be easily operated outdoors.

However, the tilting operation or the inclination of the movable plate is limited by the supporting member that may not be easily twisted or inclined or tilted relative to the supporting surface or ground, and the movable plate may not freely pivoted or rotated relative to the immovable base to conduct the balancing exercises or operations.
