Abstract

An interlocking fitness roller is disclosed. The ends of a column-shaped roller body comprise retaining holes and locating holes. A hollow cylindrical assembly is inserted into a hollow interior of the column-shaped roller body. The hollow cylindrical assembly connects with elastic pieces, and each elastic piece comprises a retaining block and a positioning pin, which are respectively engaged with the retaining hole and the locating hole of the column-shaped roller body. The surface of the column-shaped roller body is covered by a pad. Accordingly, depending on different uses, the length of the interlocking fitness roller is adjustable. Two column-shaped roller bodies are connected by respectively engaging the retaining blocks and the positioning pins of the elastic pieces with the retaining holes and the locating holes, so as to is prevent the connection from becoming loose during rolling, thereby ensuring the robustness of the connection between the column-shaped roller bodies.

Claims (27)

1. An interlocking fitness roller, comprising:

a column-shaped roller body, including:

a hollow interior;

a plurality of retaining holes, at least located at one end of the column-shaped roller body; and

at least one locating hole, close to a respective one of the plurality of retaining holes;

a hollow cylindrical assembly, inserted into the hollow interior of the column-shaped roller body;

a plurality of elastic pieces, one end of each elastic piece connected with the hollow cylindrical assembly and the other end of each elastic piece connected with a handle part, wherein each elastic piece comprising:

a retaining block, located on the one end of the elastic piece and for engaging with one of the plurality of retaining holes on the column-shaped roller body; and

at least one positioning pin, located on the other, end of the elastic piece and for engaging with the at least one locating hole on the column-shaped roller body; and

a pad, covering a surface of the column-shaped roller body.

2. The interlocking fitness roller according to claim 1 , wherein the column-shaped roller body includes:

at least two retaining holes, each retaining hole of the at least two retaining holes located at an end of the column-shaped roller body; and

at least two locating holes, each locating hole of the at least two locating holes located at an end of the column-shaped roller body.

3. The interlocking fitness roller according to claim 1 , wherein each elastic piece includes two positioning pins, each positioning pin of the two positioning pins located at a side of the retaining block.

4. The interlocking fitness roller according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one guiding slot, next to one of the plurality of retaining holes on the column-shaped roller body and corresponded with the at least one locating hole.

5. The interlocking fitness roller according to claim 4 , wherein the column-shaped roller body includes:

two guiding slots, each guiding slot of the two guiding slots located at a side of one of the plurality of retaining holes; and

two locating holes, each locating hole of the two locating holes located at a side of one of the plurality of retaining holes.

6. The interlocking fitness roller according to claim 4 , wherein both ends of the column-shaped roller body respectively include at least one set of the plurality of retaining holes, the at least one locating hole, and the at least one guiding slot.

7. The interlocking fitness roller according to claim 4 , the column-shaped roller body further comprising:

a dented part, formed on an external wall, in which one of the plurality of retaining holes, the at least one locating hole, and the at least one guiding slot are located, and

a cover, covering the dented part.

8. The interlocking fitness roller according to claim 1 , each elastic piece further including an abutting block on the handle part.

9. The interlocking fitness roller according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a plurality of sliding chutes, axially located on a wall of the hollow interior of the column-shaped roller body; and

a plurality of sliders, axially located on an external wall of the hollow cylindrical assembly and corresponded with the plurality of sliding chutes.

10. The interlocking fitness roller according to claim 1 , further comprising two trenches, axially extending from one end of the hollow cylindrical assembly, wherein one of the plurality of elastic pieces is formed between the two trenches and only one end of the elastic piece is connected with the hollow cylindrical assembly.
