Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008062180A1] Skipping apparatus (1) comprises a rope (5) with handles (3) and (4). Each handle comprises a static part (7; 13) and a rotatable part (8; 14) which is connected to the rope. One of the handles (3) is provided with a sensor comprising a first sensor component (19) on the static part and a second sensor component (20) on the rotatable part, to indicate the angular orientation of the two parts. Lights (6) are arranged at intervals along the rope. The handle (3) includes a controller (17) which stores data for a pattern to be displayed by the lights (6) during skipping. The controller receives a signal from the sensor and controls illumination of the lights (6) at times during a cycle of rotation of the rope so as to display the stored pattern. The other handle (4) contains a battery (11).
