turned
on, the hoop or the object attached to the hoop will run in circular motion to
exercise the
body either clockwise or counter clockwise. The user can sit comfortably to
exercise the
body for periods of time. The chair is comprised of: a) a motorised hoop
located in the
seat portion of the chair, the overhead of the chair attached to the back rest
portion or
in the legs of legged chairs or to the wheels og leg-wheeled chair b) a chair
with a
support frame having a base, side portion, seat portion, back rest potion,
hand rest
portion, legged or leg-wheeled c) a high heeled shoe or feet holder flip-
flopable. When
it is used the body simulates the dancing moves, thus exercising by dancing
only by
sitting position comfortably.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the invention

This invention relates to an ergonomically motorised hoop exerciser chair for
exercising
the body more particularly the abdominal cavity or waist. Specifically it
relates to a
motorised hoop or the object enveloping the hoop located under the seat
portion,
overhead of the back portion with pole, under the legs of legged or wheels of
leg-
wheeled chairs including a high heeled shoe or feet holder flip-flopable that
provides
comfortable body support while also enabling the exercise of the leg, arm,
abdominal
particularly waist size dropping, and hip muscles for exercise purposes
simulating the
movement of dancing only by sitting.

2. Description of the Related Art

Exercising through dancing can be a tedious activity but it creates great
rewarding
results to health maintenance and enhancements. Safety and convenience are the
problems encountered with dancing activity. A dancer may fall, it needs a
partner and
appointed time to go to the dancing floor. Yet other solutions to exercising
are taken by
several machines and one inventor has invented the rehabilitation training and
exercise
chair by Kropa, Williams with U.S. Patent Number 2004025836. However this
chair is
not motorised and importantly not motorised hoop and does not simulate dancing
movement exercise.

Perhaps the most revealing evidence that dancing or exercising the body in
circular
movements can make a big difference of losing waist size is in fact
illustrated by the


CA 02542186 2006-03-16

fresh young sprout fig of a bamboo. By holding the fig above its node with
ones finger
and rotate it circularly, the flesh of the fig below the node are sweat out of
the skin and
in time all left is the skin. That was more than thirty years ago when i was a
kid. Not
only losing waist size but also exerercising the body muscles and importantly
the heart.
The motorised hoop exercise chair simulates dancing movements eliminates
safety
risks and incovenience of dancing. With the use of the motorised hoop: under
the
cushioned padded seat, the body is exercised by pulling and/or pushing the
muscles of
the abdominal cavity, overhead of the chair the hands will be put up on the
air, the body
is exercised by pulling and/or pushing the muscles of the upper limbs and
thoracic
cavity and the use of the high heeled shoe or feet holder flip-flopable, the
body is
exercised by pulling and/or pusching the muscles of the lower limb including
joints,
tendons and ligaments while sitting on the motorised hoop exerciser chair.
While lying,
the overhead motorised hoop will exercise the body by pulling and/or pushing
the
muscles of the back including thighs and legs.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1. is a side view of an embodiment of the motorised hoop exercise chair;

FIG. 2. is an enlarge ventral view of the hand holder of an embodiment of the
motorised
hoop exerciser chair;

FIG. 3. is top view of the seat portion of an embodiment of the motorised hoop
exerciser chair.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of a motorised hoop exerciser chair is viewed by the side in
FIG. 1. The
chair is comprised mainly of inverted J-pole 1 attached to the back rest 5

The chair is four sides of base support 7 with the front, two sides and back
having
doubled in size to become the back rest portion 5.

The base support 7 housed in the inside is the motor with the cord plug 10
which can
be an electric or battery. When the motor is turned on by plugging or by a
switch, the
seat portion 11 will rotate. Simultaneously or not, the hand holder 2 of FIG.
1 which is
FIG. 2 will also rotate clockwise or counter clockwise as the user may want.

The inverted J-pole 1 can stand alone so that the user can lay down and hung
self with
the two feet hold unto hand holder 2 of FIG. 1 by means of the strap 3 & 2 of
FIG. 2. On
sitting position, the user can put hands unto 2 of FIG. 1 to hold hands 90
degree or 180
degree angle to the floor. For adjustment purposes 3 and 4 is provided so that
the pole
has inside and outside parts.

of the invention.

All of the embodiment of the invention are cushioned for comfort.

The seat portion FIG. 3 is comprised of the seat pad 2, the C-shaped or ring
shaped 1
enveloping the motorised hoop 4. Also shown is the attached high heeled fli-
flopable
