Musculature training device

Abstract

A musculature training device is disclosed. The musculature training device includes an attaching member, a fixing-and-adjusting member coupled to the attaching member, and an elastic member connected to the fixing-and-adjusting member, wherein the fixing-and-adjusting member sets an initial length of the elastic member. When a user move his/her body or limbs to deform the elastic member and change the initial length of the elastic member, the elastic member generates a restoring force that provides a resistance needed for a musculature training around the user's joint. Therefore, the user can train himself anytime and anywhere. Moreover, the user is allowed to perform a single joint musculature training to avoid sport injury and improve training effectiveness.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A musculature training device, comprising:
 an attaching member for being fixed around a joint of a user's body or limbs;   at least a fixing-and-adjusting member installed on the attaching member that is disposed on two sides of the joint; and   at least an elastic member coupled to the fixing-and-adjusting member,   wherein the fixing-and-adjusting member sets an initial length of the elastic member, and when the body or the limbs move to deform the elastic member and change the initial length of the elastic member, the elastic member generates a restoring force that provides a resistance needed for musculature training around the joint.   
     
     
         2 . The musculature training device of  claim 1 , wherein the at least a fixing-and-adjusting member includes two fixing-and-adjusting members to be installed on the attaching member that is disposed on two side of the joint, and the elastic member has two ends coupled to the two fixing-and-adjusting members, respectively. 
     
     
         3 . The musculature training device of  claim 1 , wherein the fixing-and-adjusting member coupled to one end of the elastic member is disposed on the attaching member that is disposed on one side of the joint, and the other end of the elastic member is coupled to the attaching member that is disposed on the other side of the joint. 
     
     
         4 . The musculature training device of  claim 1 , wherein the fixing-and-adjusting member or the elastic member is disposed at a specific position that corresponds to musculature to be trained, allowing the elastic member to be deformed and to provide the resistance needed for the musculature training as the musculature to be trained contracts. 
     
     
         5 . The musculature training device of  claim 1 , wherein the elastic member is deformed when being pulled, compressed, bended or twisted. 
     
     
         6 . The musculature training device of  claim 1 , wherein the attaching member is a ring-shaped girdle that has a through hole for the user's body or limbs to pass therethrough, and an engaging portion for adjusting sizes of the through hole. 
     
     
         7 . The musculature training device of  claim 1 , wherein the attaching member is a cloth strip having a first surface, a second surface opposing to the first surface, a first engaging portion disposed on the first surface, and a second engaging portion disposed on the second surface, allowing the cloth strip to surround and be fixed to the body or the limbs by engaging the first engaging portion with the second engaging portion. 
     
     
         8 . The musculature training device of  claim 1 , wherein the attaching member has a first surface, a second surface opposing to the first surface, and an engaging portion disposed on the first surface, allowing the second surface to be bonded or fixed to the body or limbs and the engaging portion to surround and be fixed to the body or the limbs. 
     
     
         9 . The musculature training device of  claim 1 , wherein the attaching member has a first surface that is coupled to the fixing-and-adjusting member, a second surface opposing to the first surface, and an engaging portion disposed on the second surface that engages the attaching member to a cloth wore on the body or the limbs. 
     
     
         10 . The musculature training device of  claim 1 , wherein the fixing-and-adjusting member is a clamp buckle, a slide buckle or a cam buckle. 
     
     
         11 . The musculature training device of  claim 1 , wherein the fixing-and-adjusting member has a first engaging portion, the elastic member has a second engaging portion extending along a length thereof, and the initial length of the elastic member is adjusted by adjusting the position where the second engaging portion is engaged with the first engaging portion. 
     
     
         12 . The musculature training device of  claim 1 , wherein the fixing-and-adjusting member is a button or a button hole, and the elastic member has a plurality of corresponding button holes or buttons disposed along a length thereof, allowing the initial length of the elastic member to be adjusted by engaging the fixing-and-adjusting member with one of the button holes or the buttons. 
     
     
         13 . The musculature training device of  claim 1 , wherein the elastic member is a tubing, a thera-band, a spring or a metal sheet. 
     
     
         14 . A musculature training device, comprising:
 a training cloth;   a plurality of fixing-and-adjusting members coupled with the training cloth and disposed on two sides of a joint of a user's body or limbs; and   at least an elastic member having two ends connected to the fixing-and-adjusting members,   wherein the fixing-and-adjusting members set an initial length of the elastic member, and when the body or the limbs move to deform the elastic member and change the initial length of the elastic member, the elastic member generates a restoring force that provides a resistance needed for musculature training around the joint.   
     
     
         15 . The musculature training device of  claim 14 , wherein the fixing-and-adjusting members or the elastic member is disposed at a specific position that corresponds to musculature to be trained, allowing the elastic member to be deformed and to provide the resistance needed for the musculature training as the musculature to be trained contracts. 
     
     
         16 . The musculature training device of  claim 14 , wherein the elastic member is deformed when being pulled, compressed, bended or twisted. 
     
     
         17 . The musculature training device of  claim 14 , wherein the fixing-and-adjusting members are clamp buckles, slide buckles or cam buckles.
