Twist disc having display capability and sound vocalization to inform status of an exercise routine

Abstract

A twist disc having display capability and sound vocalization to inform status of an exercise routine, primarily configured to comprise a circular shaped upper and lower cover. Concentric slide tracks of differing diameter are configured on the upper and lower cover thereof, and a magnetic spring switch and magnet are further configured on the upper and lower cover, which are utilized to sense twisting motions of the twist disc. Furthermore, a processing circuit is configured within the twist disc, whereby the processing circuit receives signals from thw twisting motions, and in accordance with status of the twisting motions calculates accumulated number of twisting motions, and outputs such so as to display on a L.C.D. or controls sound and music output to accompany the twisting motions.

1 . A twist disc having display capability and sound vocalization to inform status of an exercise routine, primarily configured to comprise a circular shaped upper and lower cover, a display unit is configured in the upper cover, and two concentric slide tracks of differing diameter are configured on an inner surface of the upper cover thereof; a processing circuit is configured between the two tracks, a LCD is configured on the processing circuit, and the LCD emerges from the display unit; a plurality of ball bearings are configured on the lower cover so as to correspond to the slide tracks of the upper cover; after assembling the upper and lower cover, a user stands atop the upper cover, and twisting of the twist disc is realized by the ball bearings sliding along the slide tracks, thereby achieving effectiveness of an exercise routine; and is further characterized in that: 
 a magnetic spring switch is configured on the processing circuit of the upper cover, and a track is configured on the lower cover so as to correspond with the processing circuit of the upper cover, and further provides a hook support for a fastening mount, whereby hook clasps are symmetrically configured on an inner edge of the fastening mount, and a mount cavity is defined on an upper face of the fastening mount, and a magnetic component is mounted therein; when twisting the upper cover, the magnetic component the magnetic spring switch, and according to signals received from such sense responses enables the circuit to diaplay number of times a twist has occured, time, and so on, on the LCD or outputs a sound vocalization.    
   
   
       2 . The twist disc having display capability and sound vocalization to inform status of an exercise routine according to  claim 1 , wherein symmetrical gaps are defined in the mount cavity, and a hook portion is defined on each edge extremity of the gaps, thereby upon mounting the magnetic component in the mount cavity, the hook portions securely hook and thereby fasten down the magnetic component.  
   
   
       3 . The twist disc having display capability and sound vocalization to inform status of an exercise routine according to  claim 1 , wherein blocking pieces are symmetrically configured at appropriate locations on the upper cover, therewith devising stops for the fastening mount, which is enabled to follow along the track when twisting and thereby move within a specific range of the track, thereby benefiting sensing of twisting motions by the magnetic switch.  
   
   
       4 . The twist disc having display capability and sound vocalization to inform status of an exercise routine according to  claim 1 , wherein the processing circuit comprises: 
 the microprocessing unit, which receives signals from the twisting motions, and, in accordance with settings of switches, adds up time, number, speed and computes calorific value consumed from continuous twisting motions, as well as controlling output of sound, music and display unit; several switches are enabled for setting of modes, and upon setting, messages are transmitted to the microprocessing unit;    the meter unit, which provides functionality to detect signals from the twisting motions, whereupon the signals are transmitted to the microprocessing unit, and which comprises the magnetic spring switch and the magnet;    the display unit displays previous related data or best accomplishments;    the sound circuit, which is included in the microprocessing unit, and, in accordance with number of twisting motions accumulated by the microprocessing unit, the microprocessing unit controls the sound circuit output of a sound signal to a speaker, whereupon, in accordance with continuous signals received by the microprocessing unit from the twisting motions, sustained music signals are outputted to the speaker; the speaker is thus a unit configured to broadcast music, and vocalize the number of twisting motions.    
   
   
       5 . The twist disc having display capability and sound vocalization to inform status of an exercise routine as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein an output display is actuated based on configuration of the microprocessing unit, which receives signals from the twisting motions, and in accordance with switch settings computes and compiles number of twisting motions, and accumulates signals from the twisting motions, whereupon the signals trigger a display.  
   
   
       6 . The twist disc having display capability and sound vocalization to inform status of an exercise routine as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the sound accompanying the twisting motions is actuated by means of the microprocessing unit, which receives signals from the twisting motions, and in accordance with switch settings controls output of the sound signals to the speaker.  
   
   
       7 . The twist disc having display capability and sound vocalization to inform status of an exercise routine as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the music accompanying the twisting motions is actuated by means of the microprocessing unit, which receives signals from the twisting motions, and in accordance with switch settings controls output of the music signals to the speaker.
