EXERCISE APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED METHOD

摘要

An apparatus (10) for exercise in which a user strikes the apparatus (10), the apparatus (10) including: a body (12) and a sensor assembly (16) located at least partially within the body (12); wherein the sensor assembly (16) includes pressure sensor (18) having a fluid filled housing (95) with a flexible surface (93), the sensor assembly (16) being configured to generate an impact signal associated with deflection of the flexible surface (93) of the pressure sensor (18), and wherein the flexible surface (93) of the pressure sensor (18) is positioned relative to a striking portion (14) of the body (12) such that impacting the striking portion (14) of the body (12) deflects the flexible surface of the pressure sensor (18) thereby generating the impact signal.

1. An apparatus for exercise in which a user strikes the apparatus, the apparatus including a body and a sensor assembly located at least partially within the body,
wherein the sensor assembly includes a bellow having a fluid filled housing with a substantially dome shaped flexible surface, the sensor assembly being configured to generate an impact signal associated with deflection of the flexible surface of the bellow, and wherein the flexible surface of the bellow is positioned relative to a striking portion of the body such that impacting the striking portion of the body deflects the flexible surface of the bellow thereby generating the impact signal.
