Abstract

An adjustable kettlebell device includes a kettlebell base having a housing formed below a handle, the housing includes a chamber formed by an upper wall and a bottom wall, one or more weight elements each include a tubular member for engaging into the chamber of the housing, and a latch is slidably received in the housing and movable to engage with the tubular members of the weight elements for detachably attaching the tubular member of the weight elements to the kettlebell base. The tubular member includes a channel formed by a rib, and the latch includes a projection for engaging with the channel of the tubular member of the weight elements.

Claims (22)

1. An adjustable kettlebell device comprising:

a kettlebell base including a housing having a handle provided on said housing, said housing including a chamber formed in said housing and defined by an upper wall and a bottom wall, and including an opening formed in said bottom wall and communicating with said chamber of said housing,

a first weight element including a tubular member extended therefrom for selectively engaging through said opening of said bottom wall of said housing and into said chamber of said housing, said tubular member of said first weight element including a channel formed therein, said tubular member of said first weight element including a rib for forming said channel of said tubular member, and

a latch slidably received in said chamber of said housing and movable to engage with said tubular member for detachably attaching said tubular member of said first weight element to said kettlebell base, said latch including a projection for selectively engaging with said channel of said tubular member of said first weight element, and said latch being selectively engaged with said rib of said tubular member.

2. The adjustable kettlebell device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said rib of said tubular member of said first weight element is connected to said tubular member with at least one linking member.

3. The adjustable kettlebell device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said tubular member of said first weight element includes a bore formed therein and communicating with said channel of said tubular member, and a second weight element includes a tubular member extended therefrom for selectively engaging through said bore of said tubular member of said first weight element and through said opening of said bottom wall of said housing and into said chamber of said housing.

4. The adjustable kettlebell device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said tubular member of said second weight element includes a bore formed therein, and a third weight element includes a tubular member extended therefrom for selectively engaging through said bore of said tubular member of said second weight element and through said opening of said bottom wall of said housing and into said chamber of said housing.

5. The adjustable kettlebell device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein said tubular member of said third weight element includes a bore formed therein, and a fourth weight element includes a shaft extended therefrom for selectively engaging through said bore of said tubular member of said third weight element and through said opening of said bottom wall of said housing and into said chamber of said housing.

6. The adjustable kettlebell device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein said shaft includes a peripheral depression formed therein for selectively engaging with said projection of said latch, and said shaft includes a head for defining said peripheral depression of said shaft.

7. The adjustable kettlebell device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said kettlebell base includes an actuating device pivotally attached to said housing and engageable with said latch for selectively actuating and moving said latch toward and away from said tubular member.

8. The adjustable kettlebell device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said housing includes a compartment formed therein, and an auxiliary weight element slidably engaged in said compartment of said housing.

9. The adjustable kettlebell device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein said housing includes an actuating element for selectively engaging with said auxiliary weight element and for detachably securing said auxiliary weight element to said housing.

10. The adjustable kettlebell device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein said auxiliary weight element includes at least one cavity formed therein, and said actuating element includes at least one key extended therefrom for selectively engaging with said at least one cavity of said auxiliary weight element.

11. An adjustable kettlebell device comprising:

a kettlebell base including a housing having a handle provided on said housing, said housing including a chamber formed in said housing and defined by an upper wall and a bottom wall, and including an opening formed in said bottom wall and communicating with said chamber of said housing,

a first weight element including a tubular member extended therefrom for selectively engaging through said opening of said bottom wall of said housing and into said chamber of said housing, and

a latch slidably received in said chamber of said housing and movable to engage with said tubular member for detachably attaching said tubular member of said first weight element to said kettlebell base,

said kettlebell base including an actuating device pivotally attached to said housing and engageable with said latch for selectively actuating and moving said latch toward and away from said tubular member, wherein

said actuating device includes a pinion engaged with said latch.

12. The adjustable kettlebell device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein said latch includes a rack for engaging with said pinion.

13. The adjustable kettlebell device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein said actuating device includes a knob connected to said pinion.

14. The adjustable kettlebell device as claimed in claim 13 , wherein said actuating device includes a catch slidably engaged with said knob, and said knob includes a tongue for engaging with said housing in order to anchor and position said pinion and said latch to said housing at a selected position.
