Abstract

The present invention relates to a novel fitness weight device designed to allow users to customize dumbbell weights by filling the air chambers with air. The device comprises a dumbbell-styled weight with an inflatable air chamber. The devices can be inflated via a push button. Users can inflate the dumbbell devices to a desired weight for customized workouts. Once finished, the user can activate the air release valve to compact or retract the dumbbell for storage.

Claims (36)

1. A fitness weight device that allows a user a more convenient and simple weight system for exercising in any workout location, the fitness weight device comprising:

a dumbbell component comprising a handle and a pair of weight members;

wherein each of the pair of weight members is attached to opposite ends of the handle;

wherein the handle comprises a shell that defines an inner chamber;

wherein a quantity of air is pumped into or out of the inner chamber;

further wherein the user can customize a weight of the dumbbell component; and

an inflate/deflate button that allows the inner chamber to fill with the quantity of air, or release the quantity of air from the inner chamber.

2. The fitness weight device of claim 1 , wherein the handle comprises a grip.

3. The fitness weight device of claim 2 wherein the grip is textured for easy grasping by the user.

4. The fitness weight device of claim 2 , wherein the grip comprises a sleeve of foam material.

5. The fitness weight device of claim 1 , wherein the shell comprises an inner lining layer that defines the inner chamber and an outer skin layer that encloses and protects the inner lining layer.

6. The fitness weight device of claim 5 , wherein the shell comprises an air inflation hole that extends through the shell and into the inner chamber.

7. The fitness weight device of claim 6 , wherein a stopper is used to close the air inflation hole.

8. The fitness weight device of claim 7 , wherein the stopper is sized and configured to correspond with the air inflation hole and air inflating pin for filling the inner chamber with the quantity of air.

9. The fitness weight device of claim 8 , wherein the stopper comprises an air release valve to release the quantity of air from within the inner chamber.

10. The fitness weight device of claim 1 further comprising a plurality of LED lights positioned around the dumbbell component.

11. The fitness weight device of claim 1 further comprising a plurality of indicia on the dumbbell component.

12. The fitness weight device of claim 1 further comprising a built-in rep counter to track a number of reps performed by the user with the dumbbell component.

13. A fitness weight device that allows a user a more convenient and simple weight system for exercising in any workout location, the fitness weight device comprising:

a dumbbell component comprising a handle and a pair of weight members;

wherein each of the pair of weight members is attached to opposite ends of the handle;

wherein the handle comprises a shell that defines an inner chamber and a quantity of air may be pumped into or out of the inner chamber;

wherein the shell comprises an inner lining layer that defines the inner chamber and an outer skin layer that encloses and protects the inner lining layer;

wherein the shell comprises an air inflation hole that extends through the shell and into the inner chamber, and a stopper for closing the air inflation hole;

wherein the stopper is sized and configured to correspond with the air inflation hole and the air inflating pin for filling the inner chamber with the quantity of air, and an air release valve to release the quantity of air from within the inner chamber; and

further wherein the user can customize a weight of the dumbbell component by pressing an inflate/deflate button.

14. The fitness weight device of claim 13 further comprising a short range wireless communication capability.

15. The fitness weight device of claim 14 further comprising a wireless communication module that is in communication with a smart device.

16. The fitness weight device of claim 13 further comprising a plurality of LED lights positioned around the dumbbell component.

17. The fitness weight device of claim 13 further comprising a plurality of indicia on the dumbbell component.

18. The fitness weight device of claim 13 further comprising a built-in rep counter to track a quantity of reps performed by the user with the fitness weight device.

19. A method of utilizing a customizable dumbbell weight to facilitate a simple and convenient workout in any workout location, the method comprising the steps of:

providing at least one dumbbell device comprising a dumbbell-styled weight and an inflatable air chamber;

inflating the inflatable air chamber of the at least one dumbbell device to a desired weight for a customized workout via an inflate button;
