As shown inFIGS. 1-5, a preferred embodiment of a massaging body-gym apparatus in the present invention is composed of a rod1, two grips2, two rollers3, two positioning devices4, two positioning sleeves5, two sealing covers6and an elastic rope7.

The rod1is a hollow tube, provided with two massaging bodies10that are integrally formed together with the rod1and respectively provided with plural particles11, a blocking rim12, a through hole13and two locking holes14orderly formed near its two ends respectively, and two projections15formed at its two ends respectively.

Each of the grips2is mounted around the rod1to be adjacent to the outer end of the massaging body10, made of flexible materials.

Each of the rollers3is installed near two ends of the rod1respectively, provided with a shaft hole30, plural through holes31, and a recess32formed respectively at two sides of one end of one of the through holes31as shown inFIGS. 2 and 5. The roller3is in addition provided with a sliding groove33formed respectively at two sides of the other end of the through hole31and corresponding to the recess32, and a blocking edge34located between the sliding groove33and the recess32.

Each of the positioning devices4, as shown inFIG. 2, is assembled in one of the through holes31of the roller3, provided with a pair of half positioning bases40and41that are to be connected as a whole component, and a positioning bar42. The positioning bases40and41are respectively provided with a sliding groove400and410formed inside them with a conical surface, and a semi-annular rim401or411located inside the sliding groove400or410. The half base40is provided with plural connecting holes402bored on its inner edge and the other half base41is provided with plural connecting projection412extended from its inner edge. The half positioning bases40and41are also respectively provided with a positioning pin403or413located on their outer surfaces. A positioning bar42is wrapped by the half positioning bases40and41and able to move therein, provided with one end420having a larger diameter, and a blocking rim421formed around its intermediate portion to be positioned in the sliding grooves400and410.

Each of the positioning sleeves5is gloved at two ends of the rod1respectively, provided with a through hole50, an annular rim51formed at its one end, two recesses52cut at the annular rim51and equidistantly spaced apart, a blocking disc53located at its inner end, and a restricting hole54bored on the blocking disc53.

Each of the sealing covers6is connected to two ends of the rod1respectively, provided with a connecting portion60formed at its one side, and two locking projections61formed at the connecting portion60to exactly face each other.

The elastic rope7has its two ends connected to two ends of the rod1respectively, provided with a supporting cushion70, a sleeve71located at two ends of the supporting cushion70respectively, a soft jacket72and a block73to be fixed with its two ends respectively.

In assembly, as shown inFIGS. 1-5, first, put the grips2through the rod1to be positioned next to the massaging bodies10and force the positioning devices4respectively to be fitted in one of the through holes31of each of the rollers3, keeping the positioning pins403and413restricted by the blocking edges34and the half positioning bases40and41tightly engaged with the through holes31, so that the positioning devices4are stably fixed in the through holes31of the rollers3. The positioning bars42are extended out of one side of the rollers3. The rollers3are then respectively mounted on two ends of the rod1to keep their one side leaning against the blocking rims12and positioned thereof, as shown inFIG. 4. Next, the positioning sleeves5are respectively worn on one end of the rod1, keeping the roller3positioned between the blocking rim12and the positioning sleeve5, with the projection15of the rod1engaged in the recess52of the annular rim51of the positioning sleeve5, and with the through hole50of the positioning sleeve5facing against the through hole13of rod1. The roller3is blocked by the blocking disc53of the positioning sleeve5and the positioning bar42extended outside the roller3is restricted in the restricting hole54of the positioning sleeve5. Next, insert two ends of the elastic rope7respectively through the through hole50and13and pulled out of one end of the rod1. Each end of the elastic rope7is further inserted in the jacket72, and then the block73is squeezed into the jacket72and wrapped by the end of the elastic rope7, as shown inFIG. 4, so that the block73is not to be separated from the elastic rope7. The jacket72is then pulled back into the rod1and fitted in the through holes13and50. Being blocked by the jacket72and the block73, the elastic rope7is not to be released from the through hole13. Therefore, the jacket72can protect the elastic rope7directly contacting with the through holes13and50, for keeping the elastic rope7from broken because of the abrasion created between the elastic rope7and the through holes13and50while pulling the elastic rope7. Finally, via keeping the connecting portion60of the sealing cover6inserted and locked in the locking holes14of the rod1, the sealing cover6is connected with the end of the rod1to keep the positioning sleeve5and the roller3positioned steadily on the rod1.

In using, as shown inFIGS. 6-11, the present invention can be applied for a variety of postures to enable different parts of a body exercised. When the present invention is used merely as a body-gym apparatus, the rollers3can be fixed immovably as described below. First, rotate the roller3to keep the positioning bar42of the positioning device4facing just toward the restricting hole54of the positioning sleeve5. Then, push the end420of the positioning bar42of positioning device4to enable the other end of the positioning bar42to pass through the restricting hole54, keeping the roller3positioned immovably. The blocking rim421of the positioning bar42is moved to contact tightly with a smaller diameter of the sliding grooves400and410as the inner walls of the sliding grooves400and410are formed conical, so as to prevent the positioning bar42from moving freely. And, the present invention is ready for use. As shown inFIG. 6, a user can stand on the supporting cushion70and grasp the grip2of the rod1with two hands to drag the elastic rope7up and down to do exercise for arms. As shown inFIG. 7, the user can lie down, holding the grip2of the rod1with two hands and the supporting cushion70with two feet; then, the user can bend and stretch his legs to do exercise for his legs. As shown inFIG. 8, the user can lie down with legs slightly bent and put the supporting cushion70of the elastic rope7against the back of his neck and grasp the grip2of the rod1with two hands; then, via dragging the elastic rope7, the user can do sit-up to exercise his abdomen. As shown inFIG. 9, the user can hold the rod1with one hand and the supporting cushion70with the other one; then, keep the hand holding the rod1stretched and the other one bent to drag the elastic rope7for chest exercise. As shown InFIG. 10, the rod1is put behind the user and grasped by two hands; one leg steps on the supporting cushion70, bending backward slightly, and then starts to stretch the leg backward to drag the elastic rope7, beneficial to diminish proud flesh to have a good shape. And, as shown inFIG. 11, the user can lie down, putting the supporting cushion70of the elastic rope7just behind his neck and holding the grips2of the rod1with two hands; then, start to stretch and bend arms up and down for virtual weight-lifting.

As shown inFIG. 12, when the roller3is expected to be used, a user has just to pull back the positioning bar42of the positioning device4to keep the other end of the positioning bar42separated from the restricting hole54of the positioning sleeve5, so that the roller3is able to rotate freely without restriction. The blocking rim421is moved back to a larger diameter of the sliding grooves400and410and restricted by the semi-annular rims401and411to stay immovably thereof; so, it is not to move forward to the blocking disc53while the roller3is rotating. The rollers3can be used as shown inFIG. 13, so a user can kneel down, put the supporting cushion70of the elastic rope7just behind the knees and hold the grips2of the rod1with two hands to keep the rollers3touching on the ground; then, the user can move his body to make the rollers3whirl to and fro to exercise the arms and the belly.

When the present invention is to be used for massaging, a user can keep the massaging body10of the rod1attached and whirled on the part to be massaged, so that the massaging particles11of the massaging body10can knead the muscles and the acupuncture points. As shown inFIG. 14, if the feet are to be massaged, a user can sit on a chair, stepping on the massaging bodies10and holding the supporting cushion70of the elastic rope7with hands; then, move the legs to and fro to keep the rollers3moved to let the feet massaged by the massaging particles11of the massaging bodies10.

In addition, if the elastic rope7is too long, it can be wrapped around the positioning sleeves5to have a proper length. And, the elastic rope7can be isolated by the blocking disc53of the positioning sleeve5to prevent it from tangling the roller3. Conclusively, the present invention can not only be used with diverse postures to exercise and massage almost all parts of a body, but also be handily carried for use any time as it is small and light. Moreover, the present invention can save the expense of buying various body gyms and massaging devices.
