## Abstract

An exercising device is disclosed. The exercising device includes a roller device, having an axis, for rolling along a first direction from a start point, a first variation point, a second variation point to a stop point and along a second direction from the stop point, the second variation point, the first variation point, to the start point; an axle device for passing therethrough the axis; a first energy-storing device, connected to the roller device, for storing energy when the roller device rolls from the first variation point to the stop point and for releasing energy when the roller device rolls from the stop point to the first variation point; and a second energy-storing device, connected to the roller device, for storing energy when the roller device rolls from the second variation point to the stop point and for releasing energy when the roller device rolls from the stop point to the second variation point.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An exercising device comprising:
a roller device, comprising an axis, for rolling along a first direction from a start point, a first variation point, a second variation point to a stop point and along a second direction from said stop point, said second variation point, said first variation point, to said start point;
an axle device passing passing through said roller device along said axis;
first and second spiral connected to said roller device and said axle device;
a first screw set device, connected to said roller device, so as to cause said first spiral spring to store energy when said roller device rolls along said first direction and release energy when said roller device rolls along said second direction; and
a second screw set device, connected to said roller device, so as to cause said second spiral spring to store energy when said roller device rolls from said second vibration point to said stop point and to release energy when said roller device rolls from said stop point to said second variation point.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

An exercising device as set forth in claim 1 wherein said roller device comprises two wheels.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

An exercising device as set forth in claim 1 wherein a rolling contact exists between said axle device and said roller device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

An exercising device as set forth in claim 1 Wherein said axis device comprises a bar and two handles, said two handles respectively connected to two ends of said bar.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

An exercising device as set forth in claim 1 wherein said first spiral spring is wound up to store energy when said roller device rolls from said first variation point to said stop point and is relaxed to release energy when said roller device rolls from said stop point to said first variation point.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

An exercising device as set forth in claim 1, further comprising a first screw set device comprises a first set device and a second set device, each comprising a screw thread and said second set device is able to be driven into said first set device.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

An exercising device as set forth in claim 6 wherein said second set device is completely driven into said first set device when said roller structure reaches said first variation point.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

An exercising device as set forth in claim 1 wherein said second spiral spring is wound up to store energy when said roller device rolls from said second variation point to said stop point and is relaxed to release energy when said roller device rolls from said stop point to said second variation point.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

An exercising device as set forth in claim 1, wherein said second screw set device comprises a third set device and a fourth set device, each comprising a screw thread wherein said fourth set device is able to be driven into said third set device.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

An exercising device as set forth in claim 9 wherein said fourth set device is completely driven into said third set device when said roller structure reaches said second variation point.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

An exercising device as set forth in claim 1 wherein first spiral spring has a first torque coefficient and said second spiral spring has a second torque coefficient, said first torque coefficient being different from said second torque coefficient.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

An exercising device as set forth in claim 1 wherein a distance from said start point to said first variation point is at a length at least of zero.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

An exercising device as set forth in claim 1 wherein said roller device rolls from said start point along said second direction opposite to said first direction.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

An exercising device as set forth in claim 13 wherein said first spiral spring and said second spiral spring do not store energy when said roller device rolls along said second direction from said start point.

### Claim 15 (depends on 13)

An exercising device as set forth in claim 13 wherein said first spiral spring and said second spiral spring do not release energy when said roller device rolls along said second direction from said start point.
