Smart bell

Abstract

A hand held weight lifting device with a finger grip system attached to a resistance mechanism that is visually located in the middle of the handle and is designed to target the hands, wrist and forearms. The handles may be removed allowing a person to perform all dumbell related exercises. When using a collar, that safely and securely stabilizes the weights in a stationary form, the device can transform from solo or single status, to a dual, unilateral exercise experience. The device can be adjusted from 10″ to 20″ depending on the type of exercise required. The device, coupled with ankle straps and shin pads, provides a person the ability to perform lower body exercises targeting the hamstrings (rear thighs), quadriceps (thighs), lower abs (leg raises) and calfs. In regards to the upper body, the handles provide a comfort grip while performing exercises targeting all major muscles associated with the torso as well as biceps (arms) and trapezius (shoulders). This device is equipped with a resistance bar. When attached to both handles and the handles are squeezed together, it in turn targets the pectoral (chest) muscle.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Exercise and weight lifting equipment can be very expensive, take up too much space or just be too time consuming.

Monthly rates and enrollment fees at gyms can be very expensive as well as time consuming when travelling back and forth.

While these devices fulfill their particular objectives and requirements, no portable device on the market today targets every major muscle group.

The length of the barbell cannot be adjusted and because of the limited space available inside of its hollow shell shape design, the device can only hold a limited amount of weight in the form of water or sand.

Which limits its range of effectability as it relates to other major muscle groups.

In these respects, the aforementioned patents do not disclose a device that targets all major muscle groups.

There are hundreds of types of exercising and weight lifting devices on the market today, but none that combine forearm exerciser, barbell, curl bar and a dumbell into one portable yet effective device.

These devices employ large, ungainly, unsightly, masses which which are relatively, non-portable and inconvenient to use and store.

They do not appear to meet the needs of most modern day people that are engaged in the fitness process.

Many exercisers, particularly the most inexperienced novices, attempt to lift excessive amounts of weight which in turn can cause major bodily harm to themselves as well as others around them.

Monthly membership fees at gyms are expensive and the cost keeps rising.

Too much time is wasted in traffic just travelling back and forth to the gym.

And, most of all, people spend a considerable amount of time waiting for the most used, most popular exercise equipment to become available.

Home gyms are not portable and they take up lots of space and cannot easily be stored.

Most people do not have the time or patience it takes to assemble and disassemble a home gym for storage purposes.
