Benefits of technology

[0007]Additionally, the handle can be adapted to rotate about an axis that allows the user to shift the center of mass to create unique weight lifting pathways to target muscles in unique ways.
[0009]In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, it is the object of this invention to provide a quickly releasable handle that can mount and detach from commercially available dumbbells. It is also desirable to have the handle adjust to various orientations about the dumbbell to create different centers of mass to challenge the weight lifter and accommodate different ranges of motion than would otherwise be possible with a fixed dumbbell.

Problems solved by technology

However, owning a useful set of weights with the weights available in various sizes is difficult due to high costs.
However, kettlebells have a generally asymmetric weight that challenges muscles uniquely and therefore generally are only available in limited or specialized training facilities.

Embodiment Construction

[0021]Referring now to the drawings wherein the showings are for purposes of illustrating a preferred embodiment of the present invention and not for purposes of limiting the same, FIG. 1 shows an exploded line drawing of a preferred embodiment. There are four main components comprising a handle 10, an upper body 20, a lower body 30, and a bottom cap 40 that are releasably linked together. The handle 10 has a handle portion 11 comprising a loop structure that attaches to the handle body 12 in two locations (though different designs could comprise more or fewer attachment points). The handle body 12 further comprises a handle body receiver 13 which is designed to mate with a threaded top cap 51 at a threaded top cap projection 52. The threaded top cap projection 52 is cylindrical and projects down into the handle body receiver 13 which has a slightly larger diameter so that the threaded top cap 51 can freely turn. The handle body 12 further comprises handle body grooves 14 that radia...
