Abstract
An exercise device includes a first exercise bar. The first exercise bar includes a first tube extending from a first end to a second end and defining a cavity, a first weight configured to be selectively received within the first cavity, and a first slow loading mechanism coupled to the first tube proximate the second end and configured to contact the first weight when the first weight is received by the first cavity to provide a friction force to the first weight to slow the loading of the first weight into the first cavity.
Claims20
An exercise device comprising:
- a first exercise bar comprising:
- a first tube extending from a first end to a second end and defining a first cavity;
- a first weight configured to be selectively received within the first cavity;
- and
- a first slow loading mechanism coupled to the first tube proximate the second end and configured to contact the first weight when the first weight is received by the first cavity to provide a friction force to the first weight to slow the loading of the first weight into the first cavity, the first slow loading mechanism comprising:
- a body defining a slow loading cavity, the body having a first groove including a plurality of apertures;
- and
- a ring coupled to the body such that the ring is at least partially located within the first groove, the ring including a plurality of grip members, each grip member received by at least one aperture of the plurality of apertures and extending at least partially into the slow loading cavity to contact the first weight when the first weight is received by the first cavity.

An exercise device comprising:
- a first tube extending from a first end to a second end and defining a first cavity;
- a second tube extending from a third end to a fourth end and defining a second cavity, the second tube configured to selectively couple to the first tube proximate the first and third ends;
- a first weight configured to be selectively received within the first cavity;
- a second weight configured to be selectively received within the second cavity;
- a first slow loading mechanism coupled to the first tube and configured to slow the loading of the first weight into the first cavity, the first slow loading mechanism including a first ring having a plurality of first grip members;
- a second slow loading mechanism coupled to the second tube and configured to slow the loading of the second weight into the second cavity, the second slow loading mechanism including a second ring having a plurality of second grip members;
- a first end cap selectively coupled to the first weight and the first tube;
- and
- a second end cap selectively coupled to the second weight and the second tube.
