Abstract
A dumbbell system a plurality of weights vertically stackable on top of each other and each of the weights has a pair of outer edges disposed oppositely from each other to define a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge. The weights each have a centrally displaced opening vertically extending therethrough and defining a receiving space. The receiving space of each weight is vertically aligned with the receiving space of each of the other weights. A handle is removably extendable into the receiving space. A coupler releasably engages a selected one of the weights to the handle and defines a coupled weight. The coupled weight and each of the weights positioned above the coupled weight is releasably secured to the handle. Each of the weights positioned below the coupled weight are disengaged from the handle.
Claims19
A stacked weight system comprising:
- a plurality of weights being vertically stackable on top of each other, each of the weights having a pair of outer edges disposed oppositely from each other and defining a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge, the weights each having a centrally displaced opening vertically extending therethrough and defining a receiving space, the receiving space of each weight being vertically aligned with the receiving space of each of the other weights;
- a handle being removably extendable into the receiving space;
- a coupler releasably engaging a selected one of the weights to the handle and defining a coupled weight, wherein the coupled weight and each of the weights positioned above the coupled weight being releasably secured to the handle, wherein each of the weights positioned below the coupled weight are disengaged from the handle;
- and
- wherein each of the weights includes
- a pair of plates spaced laterally from each other, one of the plates including the first lateral edge and one of the plates including the second lateral edge, the plates being horizontally orientated and lying in a common horizontal plane, and
- a pair of arms each being attached to and extending between the plates, the receiving space being defined and being bound by the plates and the arms.
A stacked weight system comprising:
- a plurality of weights being vertically stackable on top of each other, each of the weights having a pair of outer edges disposed oppositely from each other and defining a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge, the weights each having a centrally displaced opening vertically extending therethrough and defining a receiving space, the receiving space of each weight being vertically aligned with the receiving space of each of the other weights;
- a handle being removably extendable into the receiving space, the handle including grip positioned within the receiving space, the grip being elongated in a horizontal direction, one of the weights defining an uppermost weight and one of the weights defining a lowermost weight, the uppermost weight being vertically spaced completely above the lowermost weight and the grip, the lowermost weight being vertically spaced completely below the uppermost weight and the grip;
- and
- a coupler releasably engaging a selected one of the weights to the handle and defining a coupled weight, wherein the coupled weight and each of the weights positioned above the coupled weight are releasably secured to the handle, wherein each of the weights positioned below the coupled weight are disengaged from the handle.
