Title: Ball sliding on two ropes toy for two
Inventor: DEGUTYTE KOSTANCIJA
IPC: A63H33/00
Filed: 2008-05-15
Abstract: A sliding ball on two ropes toy providing physical activity for two players that improves posture, general coordination, tones arm and shoulder muscles as well as promotes the spirit of team play, said toy consisting of a NERF tennis ball strung through a cylindrical hole drilled and reinforced with a hard plastic tube in its middle on two ropes with loops at both ends. To slide the ball from one end of the ropes to the other, one player, holding a loop in each hand at one end has to stretch his/her arms out to the sides at shoulder height, while the other player at the opposite end of the ropes is holdings the loops in his/her hands close together in front of him/her. As the players take turns opening their arms and bringing them back together the ball slides back and forth keeping the players focused and entertained. Players can also alternate pulling the ropes by moving their arms back and forth in a sawing motion which provides a rotational exercise for the hips and the upper part of the body. To maximize the activity's impact on improving the posture, the players can go down by slightly bending their knees while they are stretching their arms out to the sides and stand up while bringing their arms together to the front.
