Benefits of technology

The apparatus of the patent text is designed for weight lifting and includes a frame with at least one pair of spaced-apart handles that are tied to the top and bottom of the frame for stability. The elongated shaft is also connected to the frame and may be welded for durability. The handles can be coated with paint or other materials for preventing corrosion and aesthetic appearance. The knurled surfaces of the handles provide a better grip for the weight lifter.

Problems solved by technology

These dumbbells cause the weightlifter to incur additional costs.

Abstract

A weightlifting apparatus that includes a frame having at least one pair of spaced-apart handles thereon and an elongate shaft having a distal end and a proximal end coupled to the frame intermediate each of the at least one pair of spaced-apart handles. The shaft may be circular in cross-section and sized to receive a standard weight plate thereon. The weightlifting apparatus enables a weightlifter to enjoy additional benefits from standard weight plates that are normally used with barbells and to perform additional exercises with the hands in positions that cannot be achieved using barbells so as to exercise different muscle groups.

Description

BACKGROUNDField of the Invention[0001]The present invention relates to a weightlifting apparatus that can receive and secure one or more weight plates and that includes handles to enable the user to lift and manipulate the one or more weight plates secured thereto.Background of the Related Art[0002]Weight plates are very common devices used by weightlifters. Weight plates are generally used with barbells that are elongated rods having a shaft on each end for receiving and securing weight plates to the barbell. The weight plates each include a centrally located hole at the center of the weight plate sized for being received onto the shaft at the end of the barbell. A collar, such as a spring coil collar or a collar with a threaded bolt, can be secured onto the shaft intermediate the weight plates and the end of the barbell shaft to secure the weight plates onto the shaft. The barbell, with the weight plates secured thereto, can then be used in weightlifting exercises such as bench pr...
