[0002] Dumbbells are a kind of fitness equipment used to enhance muscle strength training. They are used for muscle strength training and muscle compound movement training. Dumbbells usually come in two types: fixed weight and adjustable weight. Fixed weight dumbbells are made of cast iron, with an iron rod in the middle and solid round balls at both ends; adjustable weight dumbbells are similar to reduced barbells, with round iron plates of varying weights on both ends of the short iron rod, and the weight can be increased or decreased during weightlifting or fitness exercises.

[0003] Kettlebells are also a common fitness equipment, named because of their shape similar to a kettle with a handle. The difference between kettlebell training and dumbbell and barbell training is that kettlebells are more effective in improving overall explosive power, so kettlebells have always been loved by fitness enthusiasts.

[0004] Fitness enthusiasts need to use dumbbells and kettlebells of different specifications to work out together. If they are all purchased separately, it would be expensive and take up a lot of space. Therefore, dumbbell clamps that use handles to clamp dumbbells to turn them into kettlebells came into being.

[0005] However, common dumbbell clamps have a simple structure and cannot adjust their direction when clamping larger dumbbells, which can easily cause fitness enthusiasts to bump into their limbs when converting dumbbells into kettlebells. Summary of the invention

[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention. In addition, terms such as "first", "second", "third" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0022] As Figures 1 - 4 shown, a dumbbell clip 1 with a movable grip provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a grip 10 and a clip 20. The grip 10 includes a housing 11, a rotating mechanism 12 at least partially received in the housing 11 and rotatable relative to the housing 11, a holding portion 13 fixed above the housing 11, and a rotation locking mechanism 14 for restricting the rotation of the rotating mechanism 12.

[0023] Specifically, the housing 11 includes an outer housing 111 and an inner housing 112. The outer housing 111 is provided with a through hole 110, and the inner housing 112 is provided with a relief portion 113 corresponding to the through hole 110 for receiving the rotation locking mechanism 14. The rotation locking mechanism 14 includes a button 141 and a spring 142 with two ends respectively abutted against the relief portion 113 and the button 141. The rotating mechanism 12 includes an outer wall 121 and an inner wall 122. The outer wall 121 is located between the outer housing 111 and the inner housing 112. The outer wall 121 is provided with at least two openings 120 with a diameter not less than that of the button 141, and the central axes of the two openings are arranged at 90°.

[0024] When the button 141 is not under stress, it passes through one of the openings 120 and partially protrudes from the through hole 110, so that the rotating mechanism 12 is locked relative to the housing 11 and does not rotate relative to it. When the button 141 is pressed, the button 141 retracts into the yielding portion 113, and no longer restricts the rotation of the rotating mechanism 12 relative to the housing 11. At this time, the rotating mechanism 12 is rotated 90°, and the button 141 can be adjusted to a position aligned with the other opening 120. When the button 141 is released, the button 141 can be re-bounced under the action of the spring 142, locking the rotating mechanism 12 and the housing 11. In this way, the dumbbell that was originally in a horizontal swing state can be changed to a longitudinal swing state. Even if the dumbbell is longer in horizontal length, there is no need to worry about the dumbbell colliding with limbs after changing to a longitudinal swing.

[0025] In this embodiment, the inner wall 122 is provided with a limiting portion 123 adapted to the giving portion 113 , so that the rotating mechanism 12 can only rotate within the range between the two openings 120 , which makes it easier for the user to align.

[0026] A connecting column 15 for connecting the handle 10 to the clip 20 is provided below the rotating mechanism 12. The clip 20 includes a pivot 23 away from the handle 10 and two clamping arms respectively extending from the pivot 23. The two clamping arms form a second clamping portion 22 for connecting the clip 20 to a dumbbell and a first clamping portion 21 for connecting the clip 20 to the connecting column 15. The second clamping portion 22 is close to the pivot 23, and the first clamping portion 21 is away from the pivot 23. The first clamping portion 21 is provided with a clamping locking mechanism 24 for controlling the opening and closing of the clip 20.

[0027] The clamping and locking mechanism 24 is a knob 241 that passes through the first clamping portion 21, and the connecting column 15 includes a column 151 accommodated in the first clamping portion 21 and ribs 152 that are arranged at intervals and are used to connect the column 151 and the rotating mechanism 12. In this embodiment, the dumbbell clamp with a movable grip includes two clamps, and the connecting column includes four ribs. When the clamp is fixed to the grip, the knob passes through the gap between the ribs.

[0028] When the clip 20 is in a locked state, the end of the knob 241 is stuck on the outer surface of the first clamping part 21, so that the clip 20 is buckled. When the knob 241 is rotated 90°, the lock is released, and the clip opens with the pivot 23 as the center, that is, the first clamping part 21 and the second clamping part 22 are opened together. The horizontal bar of the dumbbell can be placed in the second clamping part 22 in turn, and the connecting column 15 can be placed in the first clamping part 21, and then the clip 20 is closed. The knob 241 is rotated to the locked position again to clamp the dumbbell and fix the clip 20 to the handle 10.

[0029] In this embodiment, a buffer pad 221 is provided on the inner wall of the second clamping portion 22. When the second clamping portion 22 clamps the crossbar of the dumbbell, the buffer pad 221 is compressed and deformed to generate frictional force, which can improve the clamping stability of the clip 20.

[0030] Since the grip 10 and the clip 20 of the dumbbell clip 1 with a movable grip provided by the present invention are of a split design, the clip 20 can be disassembled and used as a barbell clip, so that the user does not need to purchase two barbell clips separately, realizing the multi-purpose use of the dumbbell clip product.

[0031] The dumbbell clip with a movable grip provided by the present invention includes a grip and a clip. The grip includes a housing, a rotating mechanism at least partially received in the housing and rotatable relative to the housing, a holding portion fixed above the housing, and a rotation locking mechanism for restricting the rotation of the rotating mechanism. A connecting column for connecting the grip to the clip is provided below the rotating mechanism. The clip includes a pivot away from the grip and two clamping arms extending from the pivot respectively. The two clamping arms define a second clamping portion for connecting the clip to the dumbbell and a first clamping portion for connecting the clip to the connecting column. The second clamping portion is close to the pivot, and the first clamping portion is away from the pivot. The first clamping portion is provided with a clamping locking mechanism for controlling the opening and closing of the clip. With the split design of the grip and the clip and the rotating mechanism, the dumbbell can be adjusted to a suitable direction when it is transformed into a kettlebell, and at the same time, it is also convenient to disassemble the clip.

[0032] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
