Benefits of technology

[0011]A weight training apparatus, that simulates free weights lifting exercise. It allows the user to load regular Olympic plates to adjust weight resistance, and thereby eliminate the need to pick-up or replace a dumbbell set each time he wants to adjust the weight resistance. This weight training apparatus comprises a cage like frame made of multiple vertical posts and horizontal crossbars.

Problems solved by technology

However, current exercise machines, when used for weight training, have a very limited range of motion.
When using free weights, a large inertial force is required to begin moving the weights, which prevents users from performing to their maximum level, especially users with latent injuries.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]FIG. 1 is a front elevation view of the apparatus that is constructed as a cage. FIG. 2 is a top plan view of arm extension table assembly. FIG. 3 is an isometric view of the cage from the viewpoint looking down on the top, front, and right side. FIG. 4 shows the detail of the arm extension table assembly. The four drawings should all be referred to as a unit for a better understanding of the construction.

[0018]The cage comprises vertical frame structure posts, 1, into which a series of holes are drilled to facilitate mounting various elements thereon at selected heights. Horizontal crossbars, 2, provide support for the cage across the front and rear. Top side crossbars, 3, and bottom side crossbars, 4, also support the frame. Two vertical rods, 5, allow a table to slide up and down, based upon a user's preference. Counterweight rods, 6, maintain counter weights to prevent oscillation during use. bar hooks, 7, engage the back post, thereby securing the arm extension table (see...

Abstract

A weight training apparatus that simulates free weight lifting exercise. It allows the user to load regular Olympic plates to adjust weight resistance, and thereby eliminate the need to pick-up or replace a dumbbell set each time he wants to adjust the weight resistance. The apparatus comprises a cage like frame and a vertically adjustable table with arm extension supports with a series of handles and weight loadable pin attached to each arm. The arm extensions can swivel, rotate in a circular manner and independently to provide the feel of the unrestrained free motions many free weight lifters prefer when working with regular dumbbells or free weights.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The Present Application is the non-provisional counterpart to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61 / 176,288 filed May 7, 2009 entitled DUMBBELL / FREE WEIGHT TRAINING SIMULATION APPARATUS, and which is incorporated by reference in its entirety herein. The Present Application claims the benefit of and priority to said provisional patent application.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Gymnasia have become popular over the last half-century to accommodate those who want to remain fit. Formerly, gymnasia hosted climbing ropes, parallel bars, exercise horses, mats, etc. Weight training was performed by a user repetitively lifting dumbbell weights. Today, most gyms primarily host exercise machines that allow repetitive motion exercise by their users. Exercise machines have existed for many years. However, current exercise machines, when used for weight training, have a very limited range of motion. When using free weights, a large inertial force ...
