Abstract
Described herein are examples of barbell weights which include a first surface having a circular shape defined by a diameter and a circumference. The weights include a second surface having the circular shape and positioned approximately parallel to the first surface. The weights include an exterior circumference edge extending between the first surface and the second surface around the circumference. The exterior circumference edge defines a width between the first surface and the second surface. The weights include a central axis aperture having an interior circumference edge extending from the first surface to the second surface. The weights include one or more grip apertures having an interior grip aperture edge extending from the first surface to the second surface.
Claims20
A barbell weight comprising:
- a first surface having a circular shape defined by a diameter and a circumference;
- a second surface having the circular shape and positioned approximately parallel to the first surface;
- an exterior circumference edge extending between the first surface and the second surface around the circumference, wherein the exterior circumference edge defines a width between the first surface and the second surface;
- a central axis aperture having an interior circumference edge extending from the first surface to the second surface;
- and
- one or more grip apertures having an interior grip aperture edge extending from the first surface to the second surface,
- wherein the diameter is between 20 and 25 times the width, and the width is uniform around the circumference.
A method of manufacturing a weight, the method comprising:
- forming a mold representing a structural shape of a weight, the structural shape comprising:
- a first surface having a circular shape defined by a diameter and a circumference,
- a second surface having the circular shape and positioned approximately parallel to the first surface,
- an exterior circumference edge extending between the first surface and the second surface around the circumference, wherein the exterior circumference edge defines a width between the first surface and the second surface,
- a central axis aperture having an interior circumference edge extending from the first surface to the second surface,
- one or more grip apertures having an interior grip aperture edge extending from the first surface to the second surface, and
- a personalization space formed with at least one of the first surface or the second surface,
- wherein the diameter is between 20 and 25 times the width, and the width is uniform around the circumference;
- injecting one or more materials into the mold to form the weight;
- and
- removing the weight from the mold.
A device comprising:
- a cylindrical barbell weight with a diameter, a circumference, and a width, wherein:
- the diameter of the barbell weight is between 20 and 25 times the width of the barbell weight;
- and
- the width of the barbell weight is uniform;
- an exterior circumference edge;
- a central axis aperture defined by an interior circumference edge, wherein the central axis aperture is between 1 and 2 inches in diameter;
- two grip apertures each defined by an interior grip aperture edge, wherein:
- the two grip apertures are located equidistant from the central axis aperture and within 1 to 2 inches of the exterior circumference edge;
- and
- the grip apertures are between 3 and 10 square inches in area;
- and
- a personalization space.
