Benefits of technology

This patent describes a device that attaches a traditional dumbbell to a bar, allowing it to be used as a weight for exercise. The device is strong and flexible, made of a circular elastic band with non-removable lead platelets. The elastic band has a non-slip surface to prevent falls and injuries, and it stabilizes the dumbbell during exercise, reducing training injuries. This device is also easier to assemble and use for women and beginners.

Problems solved by technology

This has the disadvantage of requiring the person making the addition to' take the time to make sure the weight pieces are interlocked.
While the device provides a handle with arm members, the specially shaped hook provides an opening that would make the device unsafe to perform as a kettlebell adaptor for a dumbbell.
