Abstract
Provided is a stackable weight that can be stacked alongside other stackable weights to achieve a desired weight on a weight bar. The stackable weight includes a handle to carry the stackable weight, an opening to attach the stackable weight to a weight bar, and at least one feature to engage at least one feature of a second stackable weight. The at least one feature of the stackable weight reduces movement of the stackable weight in relation to any number of other stackable weights when attached on a weight bar. The stackable weights may vary in size and weight to allow a user to achieve a desired weight of the weight bar.
Claims20
A stackable weight comprising:
- a body having a top, a bottom, a front surface, and a rear surface;
- a handle extending from the top of the body, wherein the handle is configured to allow a user's hand to grasp the handle;
- an opening in the body, wherein the opening extends from the front surface of the body to the rear surface of the body;
- and
- one or more projections extending from the front surface configured to engage one or more corresponding recesses on a rear surface of a second stackable weight, the one or more projections and the one or more recesses configured to orient the top of the stackable weight to a corresponding top of the second stackable weight and configured to prevent rotation of the stackable weight relative to the second stackable weight,
- wherein the front surface of the stackable weight is configured to engage with a rear surface of the second stackable weight, and the handle of the stackable weight is oriented in the same direction as a handle of the second stackable weight.
A weight lifting system, comprising:
- a first stackable weight and a second stackable weight, each configured to attach to a weight bar, and each of the first and the second stackable weights comprising:
- a body having a top, a bottom, a front surface, and a rear surface;
- a handle extending from the top of the body, wherein the handle is configured to allow a user's hand to grasp the handle;
- an opening in the body, wherein the opening extends from the front surface of the body to the rear surface of the body;
- and
- one or more projections extending from the front surface configured to engage one or more recesses on a rear surface of a separate corresponding stackable weight, and
- wherein the one or more projections and one or more recesses of the first stackable weight are configured to orient the top of the first stackable weight to a corresponding top of the second stackable weight and are configured to prevent rotation of the first stackable weight relative to the second stackable weight, the front surface of the first stackable weight engages with the rear surface of the second stackable weight.
A stackable weight comprising:
- a body having a top, a bottom, a front surface, and a rear surface opposite the front surface;
- a handle extending from the top of the body, wherein the handle is configured to allow a user's hand to grasp the handle;
- a projection extending from the front surface configured to engage a recess on a rear surface of a second stackable weight;
- and
- a recess on the front surface configured to engage a projection on the rear surface of the second stackable weight,
- wherein the projection and the recess are configured to prevent rotation of the stackable weight about an axis when the front surface of the stackable weight engages the rear surface of the second stackable weight, the axis extends in a direction from the stackable weight to the second stackable weight.
