20080242508 | Gyroscopic total exerciser - A gyroscopic exercise device has a pair of handles attached to a housing. A user holds and rotates the handles along cone-like paths causing precession of a rotor, which is rotating about its spin axis, to provide resistance to the user. The device has an axle disc that holds ends of an axle of the rotor. The periphery of the axle disc and the ends of the rotor axle are within a circular race in the housing. A motor attached to the axle disc has a wheel for rotating the rotor about a spin axis by a temporary supply of power from included batteries in one of the handles. The batteries are in between two opposite springs in one of the handles and normally biased away from an electrical contact until the user pushes them through an end pin to overcome the bias. | 10-02-2008 |
20090247375 | Gyroscopic exerciser - A gyroscopic exercise device has a pair of handles attached to a housing. A user holds and rotates the handles along cone-like paths causing precession of a rotor, which is rotating about its spin axis, to provide resistance to the user. The device has an axle disc that holds ends of an axle of the rotor. The periphery of the axle disc and the ends of the rotor axle are within a circular race in the housing. A retracting spool allows pull starting. An optional motor attached to the axle disc has a wheel for rotating the rotor about a spin axis by a temporary supply of power from included batteries in one of the handles. An optional abdominal rolling ring provides abdominal exercise. | 10-01-2009 |
20110177923 | Pull Cord Starter Dock - A gyroscopic exerciser starting dock has a starter dock housing and a starter dock axle mounted within the starter dock housing. A driving wheel is mounted to the starter dock axle. A retractable pull cord grip sleeve device is mounted to the starter dock axle and has a pull handle attached to a pull cord. The pull handle is for pulling the pull cord, and the pull cord is attached to the handle at a pull cord first end. A spool receives around it a pull cord and a pull cord is attached to the spool at a pull cord second end. The spool member receives and stores the pull cord in a coil around the spool. | 07-21-2011 |
20120017709 | GYRO STABILIZER - A gyroscope power starter has a housing having a bottom and a concave head slanted at a predetermined angle relative to the housing, the concave head engaging a gyroscope rotor. An electric power source is mounted on the housing. A motor is rigidly mounted to a housing. The motor is connected to the power source for producing a rotational power in response to a switching force. A power rotor is connected in unity with the motor and protruding from an opening into the concave head of the housing to transmit the rotational motor power to the gyroscope rotor. An alignment member is formed in a concave center area. The alignment member protrudes into a groove of a gyroscopic rotor when the gyroscopic rotor is rotating. | 01-26-2012 |
20120142504 | DISC HOLDER DOCK - A disc holder dock includes a top cover having an opening for a driving wheel. The top cover has a cradle area for docking a gyroscopic wrist exerciser. The top cover further comprises a guide vane for directional guiding of the gyroscopic wrist exerciser. The top cover has a top cover sidewall. A middle frame mounted to the top cover. The driving wheel is mounted to the middle frame. The driving wheel is connected to the middle frame by a support. A lower plate is for holding a disc. The lower plate has a lower plate upper side and a lower plate lower side. The lower plate further includes a disk storage area. | 06-07-2012 |
20120309593 | Baoding Ball System - A Baoding ball system has a first ball, and the first ball is a Baoding ball that has ferrous content. Also, a second ball is included and the second ball is a Baoding ball that has ferrous content. A first magnetic connection member is disposed between the first ball and the second ball. The first magnetic connection member includes a first magnetic connection member first magnet that magnetically connects the first ball to the second ball. The first magnetic connection member first magnet has an exterior plastic covering over a magnetic core of the first magnetic connection member first magnet. The first magnetic connection member optionally has a first magnetic connection member second magnet magnetically connected to the second ball. | 12-06-2012 |
20130012361 | Color Changing Gyroscopic Exerciser - A gyroscopic wrist exerciser has a transparent plastic housing and a gyroscopic rotor mounted on an axle rotating on a primary axis of rotation about the axle. Ends of the axle are extended into a circumferential housing groove disposed on an inside surface of the transparent plastic housing to rotate in a secondary axis of rotation about the circumferential groove to provide precession of the gyroscopic rotor. A permanent magnet cooperating with a coil produces an electric current proportional to the speed of the rotor. A microcontroller connected to and powered by the coil has three separate outputs, namely a first output, a second output and a third output which receive degrees of voltage depending upon an input voltage from the coil. A first LED chip, a second LED chip, and a third LED chip are connected to the microcontroller at the three outputs. | 01-10-2013 |
