Abstract

A multi-use powerful guiding band includes a pad in a shape of long strip, on which is fixed with a first band and a second band. The pad is emplaced at an inner side of a wrist, a fixing part of the first band is reeved around an exterior side of the wrist, transfixed into a reverse-winding part, and is then reversely folded and adhered, so as to wrap the pad at the wrist. A fixing part of the second band is collaboratively reeved around fitness equipment, transfixed into the reverse-winding part, and is then reversely folded and adhered, so as to reeve on the fitness equipment. Therefore, a certain protection to the wrist can be formed by the pad, a danger of loosening from the equipment due to an insufficient gripping force of a user can be avoided, and an effect of muscle exercising can be improved.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(a) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a multi-use powerful guiding band, and more particularly to a multi-use powerful guiding band which can provide a certain protection to a wrist, prevent a fitness equipment from occurring an accident of getting loose or fallen off due to an insufficient force for gripping the equipment by a user, and enable a muscle which really requires the exercising or intensification to be effectively contracted and extended for increasing an effect of exercising, in association with a use of the guiding band. In addition, the present invention can be applied to different fitness equipment and to a hand of different size at the same time.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
For every kind of sport item, a sport intensity and skill should be accomplished through a movement of muscle at every part of body, in association with a force of limb. Therefore, to intensify and exercise the muscle at each part is very important to a sport lover and beginner. For the purpose of working out the muscle of proper strength, an auxiliary facility which can improve an effect of exercise and can be safely operated will be used in the process of practice, such that a user can feel easy to try courageously during the practice, and the effect of exercise can be truly improved.
There are seven primarily muscle groups in a human body, including the abdominals, thighs, chest, back, shoulders, triceps, and biceps. While exercising and working out each muscle group, fitness equipment is gripped by both hands most of time, and then a movement of stretching and contraction will be carried out by the muscle to be exercised, so as to achieve a purpose of exercising. For example, when the fitness equipment for exercising the muscle group at back is used to exercise the back muscle, the fitness equipment is held by the hands as usual. However, it is usually due to that a gripping force of fingers is not sufficient, that the hands will be hard to support the fitness equipment very soon, such that the fitness equipment will be loosened to interrupt the exercise. Therefore, there will be no good effect of exercising.
A conventional auxiliary facility which is commonly used is a simple and raw rope. An end of the rope is reeved around a wrist, and then is transfixed into another end which has been folded reversely and sewn into a loop, in order to tightly fasten the wrist. On the other hand, an end of the rope which is extended is reeved around a handle of the fitness equipment to be tightly held by the fingers, so as to increase the effect of exercising. However, as the fingers still need to tightly hold the rope, the gripping force of fingers cannot hold on too long, which will still result in an interruption of exercising the muscle group at the back. More particularly, as most exercisers are worried about that the fitness equipment will be fallen off or getting loose due to the insufficient finger force, they will react naturally to interrupt the exercise prematurely, thereby allowing the exercising to be ineffective.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, the primary object of present invention is to provide a multi-use powerful guiding band which can certainly form a certain protection to a wrist, prevent a fitness equipment to be getting loose or fallen off by an accident resulting from an insufficient gripping force of a user, and truly allow a muscle required to be exercised or intensified to be effectively contracted and stretched to improve an effect of the exercising, in association with a use of the guiding band. In addition, the present invention can be applied to different fitness equipment and can be also applied to the guiding band structure for a hand of different size. The guiding band is basically composed of a pad in a shape of long strip, a first band which is longitudinally configured, and a second band which is transversally configured. The pad is a main body for assembling a related structure, and is used to form functions of covering and protection to the wrist. Two ends of the first and second bands are provided with fixing parts having adhesive bands and reverse-winding parts having through-rings respectively
In using the present invention, the pad is emplaced at an inner side of the wrist, the fixing part of first band is reeved around an exterior side of the wrist, transfixed into the reverse-winding part, and is then reversely folded and adhered, so as to wrap the pad at the wrist. On the other hand, the fixing part of second band is reeved around a fitness equipment, transfixed into the reverse-winding part, and is then reversely folded and adhered after adjusting a length of the second band according to a size of hand of a user, thereby being reeved on all kinds of fitness equipment. Accordingly, in the present invention, the certain protection to the wrist can be formed by the pad, and the loosening from fitness equipment due to the insufficient gripping force of the user can be avoided.
To enable a further understanding of the said objectives and the technological methods of the invention herein, the brief description of the drawings below is followed by the detailed description of the preferred embodiments.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a guiding band 10 comprises a pad 11 in a shape of long strip, a first band 12 which is longitudinally configured, and a second band 13 which is transversally configured. The pad 11 is constituted by a soft pad which is enclosed with a supporting material to serve as a main body for assembling a related structure, and can produce functions of covering and protection to a wrist. The first and second bands 12, 13 are crossly nailed on the pad 11, and two ends of the first and second bands 12, 13 are provided with fixing parts having adhesive bands 14, and reverse-winding parts having through-rings 15, respectively. The reverse-winding part can be constituted by a through-ring, or a double through-ring 15 as shown in the drawing, to enhance an effect of fixing for the band.
Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in using the present invention, the pad 11 is emplaced at an inner side of the wrist, the fixing part of first band 12 is reeved around an exterior side of the wrist, transfixed into the reverse-winding part (the through-ring 15 as shown in the drawing), and is then reversely folded and adhered, so as to wrap the pad 11 at the wrist. On the other hand, the fixing part of second band 13 is reeved around a fitness equipment 20, transfixed into the reverse-winding part (the through-ring 15 as shown in the drawing), and is then reversely folded and adhered, thereby being reeved on the fitness equipment 20.
Accordingly, a certain protection to the wrist can be formed by the pad 11, and a loosening from the fitness equipment due to an insufficient gripping force of a user can be effectively avoided. In addition, the present invention truly allows a muscle required to be exercised or intensified to be effectively contracted and stretched to improve an effect of the exercising, in association with a use of the guiding band. On the other hand, the present invention can be applied to different fitness equipment and can be also applied to the guiding band structure for a hand of different size. In particular, when the user is gripping the equipment, the second band 13 can be adjusted to a proper length, such that fingers only need to gently lock on the equipment and band, which can assist a function of reducing a damage of fractioning to a palm, and can improve an intensity of exercise to the muscle group, under a condition that the user will feel easy, by a reduction of improperly tight holding of the fingers.
It is of course to be understood that the embodiments described herein is merely illustrative of the principles of the invention and that a wide variety of modifications thereto may be effected by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
