Abstract
An adjustable-weight club exercise device is provided having improved safety, adjustability, and manufacturability. The club body includes multiple recesses designed to receive removable weights. The recesses are all accessible individually to insert or remove weights in a motion perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The recesses are formed by ridges designed to secure the weights to prevent any movement in the longitudinal direction. The device may be operated with any or none of the recesses filled. A door and latch design are provided to allow access to the recesses and securely close the club body.

An adjustable-weight exercise device in the shape of a club, the device comprising:
- (a) an elongated body comprising a tray member and a door attached to the tray member with a hinge;
- (b) an elongated handle rigidly connected to the body in the longitudinal direction such that the handle and body together have a club-like shape;
- (c) a cavity formed within the body, the cavity including multiple recesses defined by ridges formed along an inner surface of the cavity perpendicular to the longitudinal direction;
- (d) multiple removable weights each having an outer surface with at least one side adapted to fit into one of the multiple recesses;
- and
- (e) wherein the door is movable to a first open position allowing access to the cavity to remove or insert the removable weights to adjust the total weight of the exercise device, the door further movable to a second closed position securing the removable weights in the cavity.
An adjustable-weight exercise device comprising:
- (a) an elongated body having a proximal end and a distal end;
- (b) an elongated handle rigidly connected to the body at the proximal end and aligned with the body in the longitudinal direction;
- (c) a cavity formed within the body, the cavity including at least three recesses, each recess having a shape formed to hold a removable weight;
- (d) one or more removable weights having an outer surface at least at one side adapted to fit the edges of the cavity;
- and
- (e) the body having a door configured to be in a first opened position and a second secured closed position, the door providing individual access to all of the recesses such that a user may remove or add one of the one or more removable weights from any single selected one of the recesses.
