Adjustable dumbbell assembly
View Patent ↗An adjustable dumbbell device includes a handle bar having two plates extended from end portions and two extensions, a number of weight members each having a groove and a passage, two blocks are secured to the extensions, two pairs of beams are secured between the plates and the blocks and engageable into the groove of the weight member, two latches are slidably engaged onto the extensions, two rods are secured to the latches for moving the latches relative to the beams, two catches are engaged onto the rods and biased to engage with the beams, and two weight elements are detachably attached to the blocks, the weight elements each has a weight of one half (½) of that of the weight member.
1. An adjustable dumbbell assembly comprising:
a handle bar including two end portions,
two plates extended radially and outwardly from said end portions of said handle bar respectively, said plates each including a bore formed therein,
a plurality of weight members each including a groove formed therein and having an open top, and each including a passage formed in said weight member and communicating with said groove of said weight member, said passage of said weight member including a diameter greater than a width of said groove of said weight member,
said handle bar including two extensions extended from said end portions of said handle bar respectively and extended through said bores of said plates respectively,
two blocks secured to said extensions of said handle bar respectively,
two pairs of beams secured and retained between said plate and said block at said end portions of said handle bar respectively, and engageable into said groove of said weight member from said open top of said weight member respectively, said pairs of beams each including a plurality of slots formed therein and defined by a plurality of projections for engaging with said weight members and for positioning and retaining said weight members to said beams and for preventing said weight members from moving axially relative to said beams,
two latches slidably engaged onto said extensions of said handle bar and engageable into said bores of said plates respectively, and slidable between said pair of beams,
two rods secured to said latches respectively for moving said latches relative to said beams and said extensions of said handle bars respectively,
two catches slidably engaged onto said rods respectively and biased to engage with said beams by spring biasing members respectively, and
two weight elements detachably attached to said blocks respectively, said weight elements each including a weight of one half (½) of that of said weight member.
2. The adjustable dumbbell assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said weight elements each include a chamber formed therein for engaging with said block.
3. The adjustable dumbbell assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said blocks are each secured to said extension of said handle bar with a fastener, and said weight elements are each secured to said fastener.
4. The adjustable dumbbell assembly as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said fasteners each include a screw hole formed therein, and said weight elements each include a threaded shank for engaging with said screw hole of said fastener and for securing said weight elements to said extensions of said handle bar.
5. The adjustable dumbbell assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said blocks each include two cavities formed therein for engaging with said pair of beams.
6. The adjustable dumbbell assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said plates each include two orifices formed therein for engaging with said pair of beams.
7. The adjustable dumbbell assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said pair of beams each include a guide channel formed therein for slidably engaging with said rods respectively.
