Adjustable weight exercise ball

摘要

An adjustable weight exercise ball and particularly a soft exercise ball has one or more handles that are formed from a strap extending around the perimeter of the exercise ball. The exercise ball may have no rigid or hard materials, such as no more than 50 shore A hardness. The generally spherical exercise ball may have a substantially smooth outer surface with no significant protrusions from the surface. In addition, an adjustable weight exercise ball has a single aperture for the insertion of weights through an access slot to a pouch configured within the interior volume of the ball. The weights inserted into the exercise ball may be conformable weights that mold to the interior pouch area within the exercise ball. The interior material of the exercise ball may comprise an elastomeric material that compresses and seals the access slot closed after weights are inserted therein.

主权项

1. An adjustable weight exercise ball comprising:
a. a generally spherical and smooth outer surface having a perimeter; b. an outer covering comprising
i. a single aperture; c. a first continuous strap that extends around said perimeter comprising:
i. a first exposed handle; andii. a second exposed handle configured 180 degrees around the perimeter of the exercise ball; wherein the first continuous strap is configured under the outer covering except where it extends out through the outer covering to form said first and second handles; d. an interior volume comprising:
i. an interior material that is an elastic compressible material having an access slot that is aligned with said single aperture in the outer covering;ii. a pouch substantially centered within said interior volume and substantially surrounded by said compressible material, wherein the pouch does not extend to the outer covering and wherein the pouch is coupled with the access slot; wherein the pouch extends radially out from the access slot and has a pouch volume that is no more than 30% of the exercise ball volume as defined by the exercise ball diameter; wherein the access slot extends only from the perimeter of the outer surface to said pouch; wherein the access slot is automatically closed by the elastic compressible material when not being forced open to produce an access slot that is substantially closed, having no open area; e. a plurality of conformable weight units whereby said plurality of conformable weight units are configured for insertion through said single aperture, through said access slot and into said pouch to adjust a weight of said exercise ball, and wherein said exercise ball is soft.
