Device and method of use for a versatile fitness bar

Abstract

A device and method of use for a versatile fitness bar is disclosed herein. The bar generally is comprised of a main first part member and a main second part member. In other embodiments, the versatile fitness bar is also comprised of releasably attachable weight members. In embodiments, the distal ends of the main first part member and the main second part member are configured to receive and releasably attach weight members. In yet other embodiments, the main first part member and the main second part member are configured at the proximal ends to releasably attach and lock both main first and second part members together. In embodiments, the weight members are configured to also function as dumbbells.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0011]The bar generally is comprised of a main first part member and a main second part member. In other embodiments, the versatile fitness bar is also comprised of releasably attachable weight members. The weight members are elements that are used to add weight to the bar and may be of various weight, sizes, and shapes. In embodiments, the distal ends of the main first part member and the main second part member are configured to receive and releasably attach weight members. In embodiments, this is achieved by having male threaded portions on the distal ends of the main first and second part members and having female threaded portions on the weights members. In yet other embodiments, the main first part member and the main second part member are configured at the proximal ends to releasably attach and lock both main first and second part members together. This allows the versatile fitness bar to be assembled for use and disassembled for ease of storage and transport. The main first part member in embodiments is also comprised of a collar body portion. The collar body portion functions to overlay, support, protect, and cover the proximal ends portion of the main first and second part members where the attaching and locking occurs. In embodiments, the weight members are configured to also function as dumbbells.

Problems solved by technology

However, the conventional approaches employed have several drawbacks.

This makes it difficult to transport or even to be put away for storage.

Those weights not being used or attached to the bar will just occupy space.
