Abstract

The present application discloses a dumbbell. The dumbbell includes: a hand-hold assembly, having a first channel and two opposite ends; two weight adjusting assemblies, rotatably connected with two ends of the hand-hold assembly respectively and rotated relative to the hand-hold assembly about a rotation axis; a plurality of weights, supported by the weight adjusting assembly; wherein, each weight adjusting assembly comprises a first cover connected with the end of the hand-hold assembly, a supporting base fixed to the first cover and having an upper sub-base and a lower sub-base spaced apart from the upper sub-base for forming a receiving space, and an engaging tube extending from the first channel into the receiving space and moved toward or away from the hand-hold assembly so that the engaging tube locks the weights or unlocks the weights.

Claims (24)
