Abstract

An exercise barbell that includes a first cylindrical bar having an open end slidably engageable with a second cylindrical bar, a first hinged coupler and second hinged coupler, the first hinged coupler and the second hinged coupler having a back plate and a front plate, and wherein the back plate is attached to the first cylindrical bar and the second cylindrical bar. The front plate is operatively connected to the back plate by a lower hinge pin, which forms a free weight handle support that may be locked by a fastener. The exercise barbell also has a first rotational point and second rotational point, the first and the second rotational points being operatively connected to the exercise barbell.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 336,274, filed Jan. 20, 2010.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates generally to exercise equipment. Particularly, the present invention relates to free weights. More particularly, the present invention relates to a barbell and free weights.[0004]2. Description of the Prior Art[0005]Free weights are commonly used for exercise. One example of a free weight is a dumbbell. A dumbbell has a narrow handle which is designed for a one handed grip. Because dumbbells are designed for one hand, they are often used in pairs with a matching weight being held in each hand. In contrast, a barbell is usually an elongated bar designed for use with two hands. Barbells will usually accept a circular weight having a hole in the center designed to slide onto each end of the elongated bar. Because a barbell and dumbbells require a range of matching weights, they ...
