Abstract
An exercise device includes a central hub, a plurality of rib structures radiating from the central hub, and a band. Each rib structure has a proximal end secured at the central hub and terminating at a distal, radiating end. The band is secured to the distal end of each rib structure such that the central hub, the plurality of rib structures, and the band form an enclosure operable to seat therein a bottom portion of an exercise ball.
Claims20
An exercise device, comprising:
- a central hub;
- a plurality of rib structures radiating from the central hub, each rib structure having a proximal end secured at the central hub and terminating at a distal, radiating end;
- and
- a band secured to the distal end of each rib structure such that the plurality of rib structures and the band form an enclosure operable to seat therein a bottom portion of an exercise ball.

An exercise device, comprising:
- a central hub;
- a plurality of rib structures, each rib structure having a proximal end and a distal end and being secured to the central hub at an intermediate point between the proximal end and the distal end;
- a band secured to the distal end of each rib structure such that the central hub, the plurality of rib structures, and the band form an enclosure operable to seat therein a bottom portion of an exercise ball, the proximal ends forming a pedestal operable to hold still the enclosure with respect to ground irrespective of a rolling movement of the exercise ball while the exercise ball is seated in the enclosure.
An exercise device, comprising:
- a central hub;
- a plurality of rib structures removably attached to and radiating from the central hub, each rib structure:
- having an exterior surface with a longitudinal axis;
- terminating into a radiating end;
- and
- having at least one wing, formed substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis, that protrudes away from the exterior surface to a given distance that increases along a direction towards the radiating end;
- and
- a band connected to the radiating end of each rib structure such that the central hub, the plurality of rib structures, and the band form an enclosure to seat therein a bottom portion of an exercise ball, the at least one wing of each rib structure operable to provide an increasing resistance against a rolling movement of the exercise ball along a surface when the exercise ball is seated therein.
