  • Patent number: 9375626
    Abstract: The present embodiments are directed to a rack adapted to support a plurality of weighted plates. Such a rack is commonly known as a “weight tree” or “plate tree” due to the extensions that branch out from the center of the rack. The embodiments described herein may feature extensions that rotate about a central vertical axis so that weight plates stored on the weight tree are easily accessible to a user. In further embodiments, the weight tree may be assembled/disassembled so that individual components of the weight tree may be elsewhere employed, such as on another weight tree or on lifting equipment (e.g., a Smith machine, bench press, squat rack, etc.) adapted to receive such components.
