Abstract
A folding dumbbell rest includes a handle attached to a V-shaped plate. A pair of cylinders have sloped top ends rotatably attached to a respective side of the V-shaped plate for rotation between open and closed positions. The bottom ends of the cylinders have horizontal and inclined cut faces. One side of each cylinder is provided with notches for holding the handles of dumbbells. When the cylinders are rotated to the closed position, the notches are on the inside and the cylinders stand upright on the horizontal cut faces and the dumbbell rest may be hand-carried. When the cylinders are rotated to the open position, the notches are on the outside and the cylinders stand inclined on the inclined cut faces. The cylinders may be locked in either the open or closed position.
Claims4
A dumbbell rest comprising a handle, a V-shaped plate, two cylinders and a pair of connecting devices, wherein:
- the handle is attached to the V-shaped plate;
- the V-shaped plate being a plate body having two ends slightly upwardly inclined from the center, each end of the V-shaped plate being formed with a hole;
- a top end of each cylinder is formed with a slope face corresponding to a respective end of the V-shaped plate, the slope face being formed with a hole at the center, the bottom end of each cylinder being formed with a horizontal cut face and an inclined cut face, the cylinders being further respectively formed with several pairs of opposite notches on their sides for resting dumbbells therein;
- and
- the connecting devices are passed through a respective hole of the V-shaped plate and the hole of the respective cylinder to rotatably associate the V-shaped plate with the cylinders, the slope faces of the cylinders being freely rotatably attached to the V-shaped plate, whereby when the two cylinders are rotated to a closed position, the horizontal cut faces of the bottoms thereof enable the cylinders to stand upright, while when the cylinders are rotated to an open position, the slope faces of the cylinders and the inclined ends of the V-shaped plate cooperate with each other to make the cylinders into a triangular rest body and the inclined cut faces of the cylinders together form a planar face enabling the cylinders to stand inclined.
