A hula-hoop includes a body having a hollow portion at an inner side thereof, and a plurality of rollers equi-distantly spaced apart and pivotally mounted in the hollow portion of the hula-hoop body. The rollers are covered by a soft outer sleeve and each roller projects slightly from the inner side of the hula-hoop body. When the user turns the hula-hoop at the waist portion, the rollers may enhance the turning of the hula-hoop, and may prevent possible injury to the waist portion. The hula-hoop is easy to dismantle and assemble to facilitate carrying. Additionally, the rollers may massage the waist of the user during play. |

A hoop type toy is provided having a sound generating system for generating a tone, a steady simple beat, a rhythmic beat, or a tune. In certain embodiments, sound generation only occurs when the hoop is in motion. In other embodiments, the rate, pitch, speed, and/or loudness of the tone, beat or tune varies with the rate of rotation of the hoop. In the preferred embodiments, the sound generating system includes a speaker and a circuit board having an IC chip and integral motion detector. In this way, ruggedness, low cost, and small size are achieved. |

An amusement device is provided in one embodiment with two annular elements that are integrally connected in coplanar relationship to each other. Each of the annular elements has a diameter within the range of 8 inches to 24 inches for enabling one foot of the user to be readily inserted and thereafter rotated to horizontally swing the device in a horizontal arc, causing the user to intermittently hop on the remaining foot to clear the opposite element during each rotation of the device. Both of the elements are preferably integrally coupled to smooth, rounded, depending bosses which retain the elements in spaced disposition from the ground so that the user can readily insert his or her foot underneath the device to initiate swinging movement thereof. In another form of the invention, a third annular element is coplanar with and interconnects the first and second elements, for increasing the variety of bodily motions and exercise patterns that may be employed. |

A rigid hoop having a circumference and weight suitable for rotation about a person's waist by a hula-type motion of the person includes a multiplicity of protrusions fitted about and radially extending inwardly from the inside outer surface of the hoop so that the protrusions successively engage the waist as the hoop is rotated. The protrusions have a height, measured from the inside outer surface of the hoop, of from 3 to about 30 millimeters and are shaped and spaced so as to create a multiplicity of distinct depressions as they engage the waist. The protrusions may be spaced in groups, carried on a special insert, inflatable or configured, so as to maximize skin penetration in a therapeutic manner. |

A circumferentially curved member has its one end portion slidably telescoped in its other end portion and thus forms a closed annulus, the telescoped end portions being relatively slidable with sufficient freedom to permit diametric expansion of the annulus by centrifugal force when the hoop is gyrated by the body of a user. The annulus remains in its expanded position to show its enlargement, more-or-less in relation to the gyrating effort involved in expanding the same.
