Abstract
A weight lifting apparatus is provided and includes a pair of weight supports, a pair of handle assemblies coupled to the pair of weight supports, and a central bar interposed between each handle assembly of the pair of handle assemblies. The central bar is coupled to each handle assembly. Each handle assembly includes a handle housing, a grip that is rotatably supported within the handle housing, and a ratchet pawl. The ratchet pawl is selectively manipulatable from a first position that inhibits rotation of the grip relative to the handle housing to a second position that permits rotation of the grip relative to the handle housing.
Claims20
A handle assembly for use with a weight lifting apparatus, comprising:
- a handle housing defining a pair of housing half-sections, each of the pair of housing half-sections defining an arcuate first surface and a planar second surface disposed opposite to the arcuate first surface;
- a grip rotatably supported within the handle housing;
- and
- a ratchet pawl slidably disposed within a portion of the grip, the ratchet pawl selectively manipulatable from a first position that inhibits rotation of the grip relative to the handle housing to a second position that permits rotation of the grip relative to the handle housing.
