AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is an exercise apparatus that can be used like a weight plate or a Kettle Bell. It has a designated weight, made of concrete with a cylindrical channel inside for attaching a barbell or dumbbell. The handle is coated with a rubberized sealant and reinforced with reinforcement materials to increase its strength and resistance to fractures and chipping. The technical effects of this invention include the ability to use it for various exercise movements and the durability and safety features it provides.

Problems solved by technology

Also, conventional Kettle Bells are metallic, which adds to their cost.

Embodiment Construction

[0012]Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the preferred embodiment of the present invention 10 comprises a weight element 11, having a transverse channel 12 passing through it and emerging on either side in two channel apertures 13. While the weight element 11 in this illustrated exemplary embodiment 10 has a generally triangular configuration, it can have any shape that would allow it to stand upright with stability.

[0013]Attached to, or integral with the top side of the weight element 11 is a handle 14. While the handle 14 is illustrated with a generally rectilinear configuration, it can alternately have an arcuate or triangular form. This can be made of the same material as the weight element 11, or of another rigid, durable material, such as metal or plastic.

[0014]The transverse channel 12 is lined with a congruent PVC pipe 15, which enables the apparatus 10 to slide smoothly onto the plate bar 16 of a barbell, as best seen in FIG. 3.

[0015]The exterior of the weight element 11 is coated...

Abstract

The present invention is an exercise apparatus which has a designated weight, in terms of pounds and / or kilograms. It includes a lower weight element attached to an upper handle, similar to a Kettle Bell. Unlike a Kettle Bell, however, its interior core comprises a concrete material, through which passes a cylindrically tubular transverse channel. The transverse channel is adapted to accommodate the cylindrical plate bar of a barbell and / or a dumbbell. Preferably, the transverse channel has a PVC lining, in the form of a congruous PVC pipe, which is operative to facilitate sliding of the plate bar through the transverse channel. The PVC-lined transverse channel allows the present invention to be used like a conventional weight plate, as well as like a Kettle Bell.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to the general field of exercise equipment, and more particularly to weights used for exercise purposes.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Kettle Bells are a popular type of exercise weight with an upwardly extending arcuate handle. They are available in a variety of weights and are better adapted to certain types of exercise movements than are conventional dumbbells. Kettle Bells are particularly well suited to exercise movements involving swinging the weight overhead or between the legs. But certain other exercise movements are performed more effectively using dumbbells or barbells. Also, conventional Kettle Bells are metallic, which adds to their cost. The present invention is intended to provide a more versatile and less expensive alternative to conventional Kettle Bells.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]The present invention is an exercise apparatus which has a designated weight, in terms of pounds and / or kilograms. It comprises a...
