Abstract
A hollow inner hoop receives a fluent material through a filler valve and fits within a curved inward facing depression in an outer hoop. The outer hoop has a slot in its outer surface; a stick with guiding wings at a proximal end fits within the slot and is turned to align the guiding wings within an axial direction of the hoops.
Claims6
The hoop apparatus comprising an inner hoop having a hollow closed body with a curved outer wall and valve and plug means extending through the curved outer wall of the hollow closed body to partially fill a desired lower portion of the body with a fluent material for tending to stabilize and brake and maintain uniform angular velocity of the hoop apparatus, and an outer hoop having a hollow body and having a radially inward facing configuration for receiving and holding the inner hoop.
The hoop apparatus comprising a hoop having a hollow body, which has a radially outward facing surface and a central slot in the surface for communicating a hollow center of the hoop with an exterior of the hoop through the slot and wherein the hollow center has portions which extend axially outward from the slot, further comprising a stick having a shaft with a proximal end positioned in the slot and guiding wings extending laterally from the proximal end in an axial direction of the hoop and the shaft having a distal end with a handle attached thereto, wherein a radially inward edge of the guiding wings is curved to follow a curvature of the hoop, whereby the wings may be aligned transversely to an axial direction for removing the wings through the slot.
