Handheld Bar With Weight At Each End (e.g., Barbell, Dumbbell, Etc.) Or Component Thereof Patents (Class 482/106)
  • Patent number: 12220608
    Abstract: In some embodiments, systems or devices, such as removable attachments, bars, multi-bars, or handles, are disclosed that allow binding to a wide variety of dumbbells and barbells available on the market. Binding to dumbbells and barbells of various sizes, types, brands, shapes, weights, dimensions, diameters and/or handle diameters, etc., is advantageous to allow interoperability and adaptability. In some examples, the variety of exercises that can be performed with a single dumbbell or barbell may be expanded to include two-handed techniques with minimal additional equipment. In some examples, this can reduce costs of additional equipment, storage space needed to store additional equipment, etc.

  • Patent number: 11745071
    Abstract: A device to strengthen a person's arm muscles through the utilization of a portable device including a handle portion and a weight component with the two components separated by a flexible rod is provided. Such a device allows for the user to grip the handle portion and act as if they are throwing such a handle portion while the weight end moves along an arc defined through the length of the flexible rod. The resultant action is the generation of centripetal force along the defined arc with the reactive centrifugal force providing resistance to the user's arm muscles in a manner that is unique and heretofore unattainable through the utilization of a portable exercise device. The flexible rod component provides at least 1 foot (100 cm) of spacing between the handle portion and the weight portion.

  • Patent number: 11745045
    Abstract: A weight adjustable exercise device includes a base unit and a handle unit. Two magnetically attractive members are spacedly disposed on the base unit. Two weight sets are supported by the base unit, and respectively have a plurality of weights. The handle unit includes a handle shaft, two anti-rotation modules non-rotatably sleeved around two opposite end portions of the handle shaft and insertable downwardly in the base unit, two weight adjusting modules respectively mounted on the anti-rotation modules, and two indexing discs rotatably mounted on the weight adjusting modules. Each weight adjusting module has selector assemblies rotated with the handle shaft to selectively engage with or be disengaged from the corresponding weights. Each anti-rotation module has a magnet member removably engaged with the corresponding indexing disc and movable by a magnetically attractive force of the corresponding magnetically attractive member to be disengaged from the corresponding indexing disc.
