Claims9
An exercise device for exercising hands, wrists, and forearms of a user, the device comprising:
- an elongate handle rod;
- a line having opposite upper and lower ends, said upper end of said line being coupled to said handle rod;
- a weight support means being coupled to said lower end of said line;
- a plurality of weights being supported by said weight support means;
- wherein each of said weights has a middle aperture and an insertion channel extending from said middle aperture to an outer periphery of said weight for receiving said line therein;
- wherein a width of said insertion channel of each of said weights taper smaller from said outer periphery of said weight towards said middle aperture for facilitating insertion of said line into said insertion channel and resisting removal of said line from said insertion channel.
The exercise device of claim 5, wherein each of said weights has a channel extending into a first surface thereof and a ridge extending outwardly from a second surface thereof, said ridges of each of said weights being insertable in said channel of another of said weights.
An exercise system for exercising hands, wrists, and forearms of a user, the system comprising:
- a first exercise device, comprising:
- an elongate handle rod having a generally circular transverse cross section taken perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the handle rod;
- said handle rod having a pair of grasping sleeves extending inwardly from opposite ends of said handle rod, said grasping sleeves being adapted for being grasped by hands of a user;
- wherein said grasping sleeves comprise a resiliently deformable material for frictionally enhancing contact between said hands and said handle rod;
- said handle rod having a hook detachably coupled thereto towards a central portion of said handle rod;
- a line having opposite upper and lower ends, said upper end of said line having a loop, said hook of said handle rod extending through said loop for detachably coupling said line to said handle rod;
- a generally circular tray having a central aperture therethrough, said lower end of said line extending through said central aperture;
- said lower end of said line being tied in a knot;
- said tray having a peripheral lip upwardly extending from an outer periphery thereof;
- a washer being positioned between said knot of said line and said tray;
- a plurality of generally circular weights being positionable on said tray in a stacked orientation;
- each of said weights having a middle aperture and an insertion channel extending from said middle aperture to an outer periphery of said weight for receiving said line therein;
- wherein said insertion channel of each of said weights tapers together from said outer periphery of said weight towards said middle aperture;
- each of said weights having an alignment channel extending into a first surface thereof and a ridge extending outwardly from a second surface thereof, said ridges of each of said weights being insertable in said alignment channel of another of said weights;
- and
- said tray having an alignment channel extending into an upper surface thereof adapted for receiving said ridges of said weights.
An exercise system for exercising hands, wrists and forearms of a user, the system comprising:
- an elongate handle rod having a generally circular transverse cross section taken perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the handle rod;
- said handle rod having a pair of grasping sleeves extending inwardly from opposite ends of said handle rod, said grasping sleeves being adapted for being grasped by hands of a user;
- wherein said grasping sleeves comprise a resiliently deformable material for frictionally enhancing contact between said hands and said handle rod;
- said handle rod having a hook detachably coupled thereto towards a central portion of said handle rod;
- a line having opposite upper and lower ends, said upper end of said line having a loop, said hook of said handle rod extending through said loop for detachably coupling said line to said handle rod;
- a generally rectangular box having a central aperture through an upper panel thereof, said lower end of said line extending through said central aperture;
- said lower end of said line being tied in a knot;
- said box having an opening into said box and a door for closing said opening into said box;
- said generally rectangular weights being positionable in said box;
- and
- said door having a hooks and loops closure.
