Yoga brick

Yoga brick

This creation is about a type of yoga brick, especially a tool used to provide a hand grip to assist the body in maintaining balance while engaged in yoga.

There is a kind of yoga brick made of foamed material and made into a rectangular body. Its main function is to help the yoga practitioner maintain the balance of the body. When engaged in yoga, the athlete may need to stretch or bend the body into various postures. In some body postures, the athlete's hand must hold the yoga bricks to maintain the body level. The traditional yoga brick surface does not have any grooves to provide the yoga player's finger grip, so the use of yoga brick movement The fingers are all held on the outer surface of the yoga brick. This traditional yoga brick design is not ergonomic, that is, when the yoga is engaged, the finger is not comfortable on the surface of the yoga brick. Some practitioners have developed a groove on the surface of a yoga brick made of foam material. These grooves on the surface of the yoga brick provide space for the fingers of the yoga exerciser to penetrate, so that the hand of the yoga player can grasp more stably. Living in yoga bricks, this yoga brick has a better effect.

However, the traditional yoga foam bricks are originally strong enough to support the strength of the yoga exercise, and the deformation of the yoga brick itself is small without affecting the balance of the yoga body, but in the tradition After the groove (hole) is set on the yoga brick, the overall structural strength of the yoga brick is greatly reduced. When the hand of the yoga exerciser is supported on the yoga brick having the groove, although the hand can be held in the groove, However, the amount of deformation of the yoga brick with grooves is much larger than that of the yoga brick without grooves, which may affect the balance of the yoga body, and the amount of deformation of the yoga brick varies depending on the applied weight. Therefore, the yoga player cannot predict the amount of deformation of the yoga brick with the groove, which may cause the yoga body's body to lose balance and fall or even be injured.

Therefore, the traditional yoga brick made of foam material needs to be further developed, providing a yoga brick that the yoga player is stable and not deformable, and the yoga player's hand is firmly held by the yoga brick.

In order to solve the above needs, the present invention provides a yoga brick including a first casing and a second casing, the first and second casings respectively including an inner surface and an outer portion spaced apart along a first axial direction. a surface, and a surrounding wall extending between the inner and outer surfaces, the first and second housings respectively include a first recess, a second recess, and a first recess extending from the outer surface along the first axial direction Separating from the second recessed portion in a second axial direction perpendicular to the first axial direction, the first and second recesses each include a wavy grip surface, and the respective grip faces of the first and second recesses are respectively Separating from the surrounding wall along the second axial direction, each of the gripping surfaces of the first and second housings includes a plurality of anti-slip strips protruding from the surface, the inner surface of the first housing being coupled to the inner surface of the second housing The first recess of the first housing and the second recess of the second housing are symmetrically spaced along the first axial direction, and the second recess of the first housing and the first recess of the second housing are along the first axial direction Separated symmetrically.

With the above structural features, the present yoga brick is provided with a plurality of recesses to provide a space for the yoga player to hold the hand, and the yoga brick can be firmly held for yoga exercise, and the anti-slip slider is provided in the concave portion. It can reduce the chance of the yoga player's hand slippage, and the creative yoga brick has better structural strength, and the amount of deformation generated during use is extremely small, and does not affect the body balance state of the yoga exerciser.

X is aligned, and the bottom portions 52 of the third recesses 46 abut each other, and the four screws 60 are respectively locked into the screw holes 41 by the respective through holes 44 of the second recess portions 34B of the first and second housings 20A, 20B. First and second shells The bodies 20A, 20B are integrated to form a yoga tile 10.

The first, second, and third recesses 34A, 34B, 46 on the yoga tile 10 according to the drawings provide hand grip support in different directions when the user performs a yoga exercise, for example, when performing a yoga exercise, the athlete's The hand can be held on each of the anti-slip layers 56 of the first and second housings 20A, 20B, and the fingers respectively extend into the first, second or third recesses 34A of the first or second housings 20A, 20B, 34B, 46 grip, and the wave shape of the grip surface 38 of the first and second recesses 34A, 34B and the grip wall 50 of the third recess 46 provide a better grip of the fingers, first and second The anti-slip strips 42 on the respective gripping faces 38 of the recesses 34A, 34B provide a non-slip function when the fingers are held, and the anti-slip particles 58 on the anti-slip layer 56 also have a slip-proof prevention when the hand holds the yoga bricks 10. In addition, the first and second housings 20A, 20B are designed to have the same size, shape, and structure, which can reduce the mold cost during production, and the first and second housings 20A, 20B of the yoga brick 10 are provided. The plurality of reinforcing ribs 54 can strengthen the structural strength of the yoga brick 10, and have the advantages of being lightweight and not easily deformed.

The basic teachings of this creation have been described, and many extensions and variations will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. For example, each of the anti-slip bars 42 may be formed by a long groove recessed by the surface of the grip surface 38. The first and second housings 20A, 20B may be integrally joined without the use of a screw 60. For example, the inner surfaces 22 of the first and second housings 20A, 20B may be bonded to each other using a high-frequency machining technique.

Furthermore, the second recess 34B and the second recess 46 of the first and second housings 20A, 20B can be removed. Under such structural features, the inventive yoga bricks 10 are in the first and second respectively. Each outer surface 24 of the housing 20A, 20B has two first recesses 34A that are offset to provide a finger (finger, middle, ring and little finger) that can extend into the first recess 34A to hold the yoga brick 10. In addition, the space 28 of the first and second housings 20A, 20B can be removed (the first and second housings 20A, 20B are solid), that is, the first and second housings 20A, 20B are in a state lacking the space 28. The first, second and third recesses 34A, 34B, 46 may still be recessed by the outer surface 24.

Although the first and second housings 20A, 20B are identical in size, shape and structure in the preferred embodiment shown, it is to be understood that there may be some differences between the two. For example, the first housing 20A may be provided only. The first recess 34A, and the second housing 20B may be provided with the first and second recesses 34A, 34B such that the first recess 34A of the first housing 20A and the second recess 34B of the second housing 20B are along the first axis Aligning with X, engaging the first recess 34A of the second housing 20B allows the yoga brick to provide two different forms of gripping, or the first housing 20A can be provided with first and second recesses 34A, 34B and two a third recess 46, and the second housing 20B is provided with only the first and second recesses 34A, 34B, and so on, the first and second recesses 34A, 34B of the first and second housings 20A, 20B, respectively. The respective third recesses 46 can be arranged in different combinations.

The present invention disclosed in the specification is to be considered as illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims, and is not intended to be limited by the scope of the invention.
