Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to fitness devices, such as barbells, and more specifically, to a device that can guide a weight so that it can be easily placed into a support, and a mounting rack having such a support. Background Technology
[0002] Figure 1 A prior art barbell 10 and a mounting rack are disclosed, on which several weights 11 of predetermined weights can be selectively attached. By adjusting the number of weights 11, the barbell 10 can be made to have different weights, allowing users to perform fitness exercises according to their needs. When the barbell 10 is not in use, or when the weights 11 are not attached to the barbell 10, the mounting rack is provided with a support 12 for easy storage or placement of the weights 11. The support 12 has a groove 121 for placing the weights 11 into the groove 121, so that the barbell 10 and the weights 11 not attached to the barbell 10 can be placed on the support 12 of the mounting rack.
[0003] However, in order to fix the weight 11 in a fixed position, the shape of the receiving slot 121 is set relative to the weight 11. When the user wants to place the barbell 10, he must align the opening of the receiving slot 121 before he can put the weight 11 in. Because the receiving slot 121 is to hold the weight 11, the weight 11 will not move in the receiving slot 121. The opening of the receiving slot 121 is relatively small, making it difficult to align the weight 11 when putting it into the receiving slot 121, resulting in a poor insertion feel. Utility Model Content
[0004] One objective of this invention is to provide a support for guiding weights, which can guide weights such as barbells, dumbbells, or similar fitness equipment into the support, making it easy to place the weights into the support.
[0005] Another objective of this invention is to provide a support for guiding weights, which guides the weights through a receiving flange provided on the outside of the opening, so that the weights can be placed in a stable position and with a good feel.
[0006] Another objective of this utility model is to provide a placement rack having a main body with two supports at both ends, so that the weights at both ends of a barbell or dumbbell can be relatively stably placed into the two supports, thereby reducing the difficulty of placing the barbell or dumbbell.
[0007] The present invention provides a support for a guideable weight, comprising:
[0008] A support has a receiving space on its top surface, and the top of the receiving space has an opening; the opening of the support has a first side and a second side, the first side and the second side are defined by a first direction, and the first side and the second side of the opening are defined by two ends along the first direction; the receiving space can accommodate several blocks arranged along the first direction.
[0009] Two receiving flanges protrude along a first direction and are disposed at at least one end of the opening of the receiving space of the bearing.
[0010] With the aforementioned support, when a user places a barbell or dumbbell, the weight can be guided by the receiving flange and supported by the larger opening of the connecting part, making it easier and more stable to place the weight in the correct position. This avoids the weight being difficult to align when placed on the support and improves the user's feel when placing it.
[0011] In one embodiment, the support has a number of guide plates spaced apart in the receiving space along a first direction, the guide plates causing the receiving space and the receiving flange to form a number of receiving grooves spaced apart in the first direction, and the guide plates being close to the opening of the receiving space.
[0012] In one embodiment, the accommodating space is spaced to form a number of accommodating grooves along the first direction, and an arc surface is formed in each of the accommodating grooves. The axial direction of the arc surface is parallel to the first direction, and the arc surface of the accommodating grooves extends to the wall surface of the two receiving flanges.
[0013] Preferably, the wall surface of the arcuate surface of each of the receiving grooves has an inclination angle from the first side of the support to the second side or from the second side to the first side toward the receiving space. The arcuate surface can be adapted to the shape of the weight, and the weight is also provided with an inclination angle so that the weight can be guided and positioned.
[0014] In one embodiment, each receiving flange is formed by a single protrusion, forming an integral structure.
[0015] In one embodiment, the receiving flange is formed by a plurality of protrusions, which are spaced apart in the first direction. Each of the protrusions corresponds to the receiving groove and can connect to different weights.
[0016] In one embodiment, the length of the receiving flange is equivalent to the length of the receiving space along the first direction, so that all weights contained in the receiving space can be supported by the receiving flange.
[0017] In one embodiment, an auxiliary support piece protrudes from the edge of the opening of the accommodating space on the second side, so that the outer side of the weight can also be supported.
[0018] This utility model provides a storage rack, comprising: two aforementioned supports and a main body, wherein the two supports are disposed at both ends of the main body.
[0019] The present invention provides a guide weight support and a placement rack. The support flange can increase the width of the opening, making it easier to insert the weight and providing a guiding function. It can guide the weight into the support and ensure that the barbell or dumbbell weight is correctly positioned when placed in the support. The support flange can support both ends of the outer circumference of the weight, allowing the user to place the weight in the support in a more stable way and preventing the weight from tipping over. Through the placement rack, the barbell or dumbbell can be placed in a fixed position. The weight is guided into the support by the support flange and is stably set on the placement rack.

Detailed Implementation
[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0032] Please see Figures 2 to 3 The diagram shows a barbell 20 and a rack 50 for use with fitness equipment. The rack 50 is a barbell rack, and the barbell 20 has several weights 22 at both ends. A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a guide weight support 30 mounted on the rack 50. The rack 50 includes two supports 30 and a main body 40, with the two supports 30 mounted on the main body 40. Besides barbells 20, the rack 50 can also be used for dumbbells or other weight training equipment with weights. The barbell 20 has several weights 22 at both ends, each weight having a different weight and arranged sequentially from the inside out according to its weight. The two supports 30 support the weights 22, allowing the barbell 20 to be placed on the rack 50.
[0033] Please refer to the following: Figures 4 to 6The barbell 20 disclosed in this preferred embodiment has a grip bar 21, and four weights 22 can be selectively attached to each end of the grip bar 21. The weights 22 are arranged from the inside to the outside of the barbell in descending order of size and have different weights. There is a gap between each weight 22. The outer periphery of each weight 21 is provided with an arc surface 221, and the arc surface 221 is provided with an inclination 223 that slopes from a first side close to the grip bar 21 toward a second side away from the grip bar 21 toward the center of the barbell 20. The bottom surface of each weight 22 has a recess 222, which can be used for positioning and can prevent the weights 22 from rolling when placed on a flat surface (such as the ground). The barbell 20 has an adjustment member 23 on the inner side of the weights 22. The position of the adjustment member 23 can be adjusted according to design or needs. The adjustment member 23 can adjust whether the weights 22 are engaged with the handle 21, so that the user can adjust the weight of the barbell 20. When using the barbell 20, the weights 22 not engaged with the handle 21 will be placed in the support 30, and the other weights 22 engaged with the handle 21 will be disengaged from the support 30 when the handle 21 is lifted.
[0034] Please refer to the following for details regarding the two bearing seats 30. Figures 3 to 5 The barbell 20 has a groove 31 for placing the adjustment member 23. The position of the groove 31 can be adjusted according to the position of the adjustment member 23. When the two supports 30 are placed on the placement rack 50, their two grooves 31 face each other. Each support 30 has a receiving space 32 on the side of the groove 31. Each receiving space 32 has an opening 321 at its top. A limiting wall 322 is provided on the wall surface of the receiving space 32 near the groove 31, and a guide wall 323 is provided on the wall surface away from the groove 31. The receiving space 32 is defined as a first side on the side of the limiting wall 322 and a second side on the side of the guide wall 323. The first side and the second side are... A first direction D is defined between the first side and the second side, and two ends E are defined along the first direction D. A strip-shaped positioning block 324 protruding upward is provided at the bottom of the accommodating space 32 along the first direction D. The positioning block 324 contacts the recess 22 of the weight block 22, so that the recess 22 can be placed on and fitted onto the positioning block 324. The positioning block 324 can be a single block structure or set as several independent blocks relative to the number of weight blocks 22.
[0035] Within the accommodating space 32 and along the first direction D, three guide plate groups 33 are spaced apart. Each guide plate group 33 has two guide plates 331, which are respectively located at both ends of the accommodating space 32 near the outlet 321. These guide plate groups 33 divide the accommodating space 32 into four receiving slots 34. Each receiving slot 34 forms an arc surface 341, the axis of which is parallel to the first direction D. The arc surface 341 also forms a slope 342 that tapers inward from the first side towards the second side towards the center of the weight (i.e., the center of the accommodating space). Figure 7 As shown, the circular arc surface 221 of the weight 22 cooperates with the circular arc surface 221 of the weight 22, allowing the weight 22 to be positioned along the slope 223; the bottom of the receiving groove 34 is provided with three limiting pieces 35, which are spaced apart and protrude from the top surface of the positioning block 324 of the receiving space 32, respectively corresponding to the three guide piece groups 30, and forming a four-weight spacing W. The limiting wall 322 and the adjacent guide piece group 33 (i.e., the innermost guide piece group) form a weight spacing W, as shown. Figure 7 The limiting piece 35 and the outer guide piece group 33 each form a weight block spacing W. The outermost limiting piece 35 and the guide wall 323 also form a weight block spacing W. The width of the weight block spacing W is exactly the same as the width of the weight block 22 set in the receiving groove 34. That is to say, when the weight block 22 is received in the receiving groove 34, it can be well positioned.
[0036] The accommodating space 32 has two receiving flanges 36 at both ends E of the opening 321, and two auxiliary receiving pieces 37 protruding from the edge of the second side; please refer to the reference. Figure 4 and Figure 8In this embodiment, each of the two receiving flanges 36 is formed by a protrusion 361, integrally formed along the first direction D and protruding from both ends E of the opening 321 of the accommodating space 32. The length of each receiving flange 36 is equivalent to the length of the accommodating space 32 in the first direction D. The term "equivalent to" means that the length of the receiving flange 36 can be the same, slightly larger, or slightly smaller than the length of the accommodating space 32 in the first direction D. The receiving flange 36 may also be provided only at one end E of the opening 321. Each receiving flange 36 may also be formed by several protrusions, the number of which is relative to the number of equal receiving grooves 34, and arranged along the first direction D, with each protrusion corresponding to one receiving groove 34. The two receiving flanges 36 are higher than the opening 321 of the receiving space 32. The arc surface 341 of the equal receiving groove 34 extends to the wall surface of the two receiving flanges 36 and has a corresponding slope, so that the two receiving flanges 36 form an extension of the equal receiving groove 34. Since the receiving flanges 36 are provided at the edges of the two ends E of the receiving space 32, the opening size formed by the two receiving flanges 36 is larger than the receiving space 32. The two receiving protrusions 36 make the support 30 form a larger connecting part, so that the weight 22 can be placed into the receiving space 32 more easily and stably. In addition, the two auxiliary receiving pieces 37 protrude from the second side of the receiving space 32 of the two supports 30 and are located at the edge of the opening 321. The two auxiliary receiving pieces 37 are respectively provided at both ends E of the opening 321 near the receiving flanges 36.
[0037] This main body is number 40; please refer to it for further information. Figure 3 and 5 It includes a connecting rod 41 and two support legs 42. The two support legs 42 are disposed at both ends of the connecting rod 41, and two bearing seats 30 are disposed at both ends of the connecting rod 41, located on the two support legs 42. The spacing between the two bearing seats 30 is the spacing between the weight blocks 22 of the barbell 20. The two support legs 42 can also make the connecting rod 41 at a higher height, so that the two bearing seats 30 can be set at a higher position, which is convenient for placing the barbell 20.
[0038] When the barbell is 20, please refer to the following: Figures 3 to 6When the weights 22 are placed on the second support 30 after use, they are inserted from above the opening 321. Because the receiving flanges 36 are located on the outside of the receiving space 32, their width is increased, making it easier for the weights 22 to be guided into the receiving space 32. The auxiliary receiving pieces 37 located on the outside of the receiving space 32 also abut against the outer edge of the outermost weight 22, allowing the weight 22 to slide securely into the receiving space 32. Then, the guide piece group 33 is inserted into the gaps between the weights 22, allowing the weights 22 to be positioned within their corresponding receiving grooves 34. At this time, the weights 22 are guided by the guide pieces 331 located at both ends of the opening 321. As the weights 22 gradually enter the second support 30... Afterwards, the side of the weight 22 that does not contact the guide plate group 33 will contact the limiting plate 35, so that the weight 22 can be restricted within the weight spacing W. Since the width of the weight spacing W is equivalent to the width of the weight 22, the weight can be restricted by the guide plate group 33 and the limiting plate 35 (the weight 22 closest to the first side will be restricted by the limiting wall 322 and the guide plate group 33 closest to the first side, and the weight closest to the second side will be restricted by the weight spacing W formed by the limiting plate 35 closest to the second side and the guide wall 323). After each weight 22 is placed into the bearing, its two sides are restrained and it forms an upright state. In addition, the bearing flange 36 will also abut against the outer peripheral surface of the weight 22. When the barbell 20 is fully placed on the second support 30, the recess 222 at the bottom of the weight 22 will abut against the positioning block 324, preventing the weight 22 from rotating; at the same time, the slope 223 of the arc surface 221 of the outer circumference of the weight 22 will match the slope 342 of the arc surface 341 of the groove 34, preventing the position of the weight 22 from moving in the first direction D.
[0039] Please refer to the following when the barbell 20 is not in use. Figure 5 and 6 The weights 22 are sequentially installed in the accommodating grooves 34 and positioned between the weights spacing W, thus positioning the weights 22. The sides of adjacent weights 22 are separated by the spacing of the guide plate groups 33. The recesses 222 at the bottom of the weights 22 abut against the positioning blocks 324 of the accommodating grooves 34 to maintain their position. The two sides at the bottom of the weights 22 are also restrained by the limiting plates 35 and the limiting walls 322 to maintain their position. In addition, the arc surfaces 221 on the sides of the weights 22 are also guided and fitted by the arc surfaces 341 of the accommodating grooves 34 to maintain their position. The receiving flanges 36 are located at both ends of the outer peripheral surface of the weights 22, increasing the contact area between the receiving flanges 36 and the weights 22, making the weights 22 more stable.
[0040] When the barbell 20 is lifted, the weight block 22 set by the adjustment component 23 will be lifted together with the grip bar 21 and leave the support 30, while the unset weight block 22 will remain in its original position, that is, it will be restricted by the weight block spacing W and will remain in a fixed position without shifting.
[0041] Please see Figure 9 As shown, this is the second preferred embodiment of the placement rack provided by this utility model. Its main structure is the same as that of the first preferred embodiment. The same structure is represented by the same symbols and will not be described again.
[0042] A dumbbell rack 60 is used to hold a dumbbell (not shown in the figure). It has two supports 30 disposed at both ends. The first sides of the two supports 30 are also arranged facing each other, and the second side is disposed on the outside of the rack 60. A main body 61 is disposed between the two supports 30, so that the two supports 30 can be connected to the main body 61 to form an integral shape, which can be used to place dumbbells.
[0043] The present invention provides a guide weight support and placement rack. When the weights are placed in the support, the guide plate assembly allows the weights to slide steadily into the receiving space through the receiving flanges. The weights are guided into the receiving groove by the receiving flanges, making the placement feel stable. After the weights are placed, they can be set within the weight spacing to prevent tipping and facilitate connection with the adjustment component.
[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
