Embodiment approach

[0234] In some implementations, the adjustable dumbbell includes at least one sensor configured to detect a rotational position of an indicator member (such as a disc, etc.) by detecting a senseable parameter having a substantially continuous range of possible values. The sample values ​​are then passed from the sensors to a computing device that determines which of the plurality of weights are fixedly grounded by determining in which of two or more sub-ranges of the continuous range the sensed parameter is detected. Attaches to handle assembly. As described below, the continuous range of senseable values ​​may be the displacement of a mechanical linkage, the capacitance or inductance of a material disposed on the indicator member or disk, the direction of a magnetic field, and the like.

[0235] refer to Figure 59A and Figure 59B , an adjustable dumbbell system includes a disc 1004 having a perimeter 1008 having a varying surface shape or profile. In one example, such as...

Abstract

An adjustable dumbbell system may include a handle assembly, at least one weight, at least one sensor, and a computing device. The at least one weight is selectively fixedly attachable to the handle assembly. The at least one sensor may be located on the handle assembly. The at least one sensor may be configured to detect a handle assembly property indicative of whether the at least one weight is fixedly connected to the handle assembly. A computing device may be in communication with the at least one sensor and configured to receive information from the at least one sensor regarding properties of the handle assembly.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This Patent Cooperation Treaty patent application claims priority to U.S. Patent Application No. 14 / 311,228, filed June 20, 2014, entitled "AdjustableDumbbell System Having a Weight Sensor," which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety . technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to adjustable dumbbell systems and, more particularly, to adjustable dumbbell systems with weight sensors. Background technique [0004] Dumbbells are widely used exercise devices to provide resistance training in a variety of exercises such as biceps curls, bench presses, shoulder presses, triceps extensions, and more. Due to the variety of exercises that can be performed with dumbbells, users often require many different dumbbells, each with a different weight, in order to perform an exercise routine. Conventional dumbbells are slightly inconvenient to use, because each time the weight of the dumbbell nee...
