Problems solved by technology

[0008] Additionally, a certain level of dexterity and hand-eye coordination is required to achieve the insertion of the selector pin into the horizontal through hole of the weight stack and the center post, which further limits the ability to obtain correct and efficient results

Embodiment Construction

[0022] Referring now to FIG. 1 , there is shown a conventional weight plate 100 known in the art. Typically, multiple layers of metal-based material plates are used to aggregate on the weight apparatus to achieve an aggregated gross weight. Generally, the weight plate 100 includes a rectangular body that is typically about one inch thick and 10 by 4 inches in size. A conventional weight plate 100 includes three vertical through holes 101 , 102 and 103 that pass through the thickness of the plate from the top surface to the bottom surface. The fourth through hole 105 runs horizontally across the width of the board, ie from front to back, and between the top and bottom faces. The through hole 105 intersects the middle through hole 103 and passes therethrough into the plate on the other side of the through hole 103 .

[0023] In a typical application, through-holes 101 and 102 engage a pair of spaced guide rods 106 and 107 (shown in dashed outline). This arrangement allows the...

Abstract

A weight plate (200) for use with physical fitness equipment comprising a plate body with at least a main throughbore (203) and additional optional throughbores (201, 202) passing therethrough. The body aditionally has an internal bore (205) within the thickness of the plate body which intersects the main central throughbore (203). A spring loaded selector pin (701) is movably mounted within the internal bore (205) to selectively engage and disengage the plate body to a post (108) positioned in the main throughbore. A handle (702) is mounted to the selector pin (701) externally to the plate (200) to selectively position the selector pin.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to exercise equipment and, in particular, to weight stacks having internal spring-loaded pins that are actuated externally to conveniently, safely and simply shift weight stacks in exercise devices. Choices made easy. Background technique [0002] Exercise equipment (also known as gym equipment or exercise equipment) often takes many forms to provide the resistance needed to tear apart muscle tissue during an exercise state. In the current era, many ingenious drag producing systems or machines have been developed which use, for example, systems in combination with optional weight stacks. By design, the known device allows the user to add weight within the module due to the incrementally selectable resistance available. These systems often promise faster and better results for exercisers. While history has shown that mechanical and / or biomechanical may be beneficial for muscle growth, little or no effort has be...
