Abstract
An adjustable weight lifting device including an angled longitudinal bar fitted with an arm brace at its proximal end, and a stop at its distal end. On the longitudinal bar between the arm brace and the longitudinal bar's angle is a slidably mounted crossbar which the user grasps with his hands. Adjustable handles may be placed on the crossbar to provide different exercises for the arm muscles. A slidable carriage assembly to receive supplemental weights is mounted on the longitudinal bar between its angle and its distal end. The user achieves variety in his exercise by adjusting the crossbar, the handles and the carriage assembly, and by adding supplemental weights.
Claims17
An exercise apparatus for wrists and arms comprising:
- (a) a generally longitudinal angled bar said angle located proximate said bar's midpoint;
- (b) an elongated arm brace of a length sufficient to span the distance between a user's outwardly extended forearms, said brace mounted perpendicularly on and to said longitudinal bar's proximal end at said arm brace's midpoint;
- (c) a transverse crossbar slidably mounted on said longitudinal bar parallel to said arm brace and between said proximal end of said longitudinal bar and said bar's angle, said crossbar adapted to receive handles;
- (d) a carriage assembly slidably mounted on said longitudinal bar between said longitudinal bar's angle and said distal bar end, said assembly adapted to receive supplemental weights;
- (e) two adjustable, mushroom-shaped handles, each handle including:
- (i) a stem;
- (ii) a generally flat circular head on one stem end, said head having a stem-aligned aperture and at least one radial aperture;
- and,
- (iii) a handle locking assembly adapted slidably and rotatably to circumscribe said crossbar, said lock including two pins intended to mate with said apertures of part (ii) to adjustably lock said handle in a multitude of radial positions, one position at a time.
