Hula hoop unit sections and a hula hoop

Abstract

Hula hoop unit sections and a hula hoop formed by the unit sections, wherein each unit section has one end having an inserting groove with a side opening, and another end having a plugging part capable of inserting the side opening into the inserting groove of an adjacent unit section. Each unit section also has a switching mechanism to open or close the side opening thereof so that the plugging part is maintained in or released from the inserting groove respectively. When two adjacent unit sections are subject to circumferential pulling force, the plugging part of one unit section can still be stably maintained inside the inserting groove; even if two adjacent unit sections are subject to lateral force, the plugging part is still maintained inside the inserting groove due to blocking effect by the switching mechanism, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the two adjacent unit sections.
