Abstract

An illuminating hand-shaking exerciser with a triple rotating axle mainly comprises a main shell having internal rotary collars connected to shells by an axle. When two semi-spherical covers of two sets of matching shells are closed against each other, a space is provided for internal rotary collars. One shell holds several lighting coils. The internal rotary collars are placed in the order of large, medium and small collars. The small collar has a groove at inner edge to lock an inertial magnetic weight inside. When the user grasps the shell and shakes it around, the large, medium and small collars will rotate three-dimensionally. Further, due to inertial rotation by the inertial magnetic weight inside the small collar, the entire exerciser will shake vigorously. Meanwhile, the lighting coils will illuminate due to inertial rotation of the magnet. Thus, the exerciser provides hand exercise with entertaining effect of illumination.

Claims

1. An illuminating hand-shaking exerciser with a triple rotating axle, mainly comprising a main shell having internal rotary collars connected to shells by an axle and characterized by:

said main shell formed by two sets of matching shells having semi-spherical covers extended outward to form handles, and inside the semi-spherical covers, there being non-through pivot holes, and one semi-spherical cover having a holder for accommodating several lighting coils;

said internal rotary collar composed of a large collar, a medium collar and a small collar in order, said axle positioned along an outer edge through two corresponding pivot holes and pivots, said lager collar connecting to said semi-spherical cover through said pivots and said pivot holes, further, on inner surfaces of said large collar and said medium collar, there being non-through pivot holes corresponding perpendicularly for said medium collar and said small collar to connect in order, therefore, said large collar being able to rotate within said two semi-spherical covers for said main shell while said medium collar rotating within said large collar and said small collar rotating within said medium collar, and a groove installed on an inner surface of said small collar for holding inertial magnetic weight; and

through above arrangement, when a user grasping said handle and rotating said exerciser around a circle, said large collar, medium collar and small collar inside said main shell being able to make three-dimensional rotation, in addition, because of a magnetic inertial weight installed inside said small collar, an inertial rotation being generated to give a vibrational effect to said entire exerciser, moreover, said lighting coil inside said main shell being able to give off light when it being positioned to a corresponding inertial magnet, so said exerciser being able to provide a combinative effect of hand exercise and lighting entertainment.

2. The illuminating hand-shaking exerciser with a triple rotating axle of claim 1, wherein there are several convex beads around the center of an outer surface of said two matching shells for said small collar inside said main shell to make inertial rotation and achieve massaging effect.

3. The illuminating hand-shaking exerciser with a triple rotating axle of claim 1, wherein a holder within said semi-spherical covers can be further replaced by positioning of said magnet, on the inner surface of said collar, a gravitational weight can be further added for holding several lighting coils, which will be positioned to said corresponding magnet to give off light during inertial rotation.
