Offer description
A German inventor developed a funnel dumbbell to be used for physiotherapeutic treatment and exercise under water. The dumbbell has a flow channel in the middle that enables a counter-movement during the training.The water resistance is growing during the movements. A training success for the arm muscles can be achieved in both horizontal as well as vertical movement training. The funnels are available in three sizes for children, adolescents and adults. Depending on the needed physiotherapy different sized funnels can be connected.The funnel dumbbell is made of waterproof, colored and recycled plastics. The construction of the funnel dumbbell also allows a closure of the channel to enable a different workout effect. The inventor needs a licensee who is interested in developing this invention into a product ready for the market and initiate the distribution on the market. A license and manufacturing agreement is offered. The inventor has knowledge about funding opportunities that support the exploitation of innovative ideas.
Innovations and advantages
In comparison to similar dumbbells this invention generates a water resistance (training effect) almost entirely through the movement in the water. The low lift of the dumbbell is caused by the construction and is only to avoid the sinking of it. Other advantages of the dumbbell are: - new design enables complex training effects due to movement of the water between the two funnels - different sizes of funnels can be connected - the water channel can be closed - different plastic materials can be used, e.g. recycled plastics
