Abstract

A weightlifting system includes a weight arm system having a handle which may be mounted in one of a multitude of clocked positions. A handle engagement member extends radially from the handle adjacent the end section and includes a multitude of radially extending engagement male members to take the shape of a gear or multi-pointed star. The multitude of radially extending engagement members of the handle engagement member corresponds with a multitude of radially extending engagement members which defines an arm engagement member on the weight arm about an opening. The handle engagement member is the opposite of the handle engagement member such that the handle engagement member is received therein at a multitude of clocked positions as defined by the multitude of radially extending engagement handle members and the multitude of radially extending engagement arm members. The handle is clocked to a desired position relative the weight arm and an internal threaded section of a weight horn or knob is threaded to a threaded section of the handle to axially retain the handle within the weight arm.

Claims (30)

1. A weightlifting weight arm system comprising:

a weight arm which defines an opening therethrough along an axis with a first engagement member defined at least partially around said opening end a pivot displaced from sad first engagement member, said pivot operable to permit movement of said weight arm; and

a handle which comprises an attachment section and a second engagement member engageable with said first engagement member to position said handle at one of a multitude of clocked positions around said axis; and

a knob engageable with said attachment section to axially retain said handle along said axis at said one of a multitude of docked positions.

2. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein said attachment section comprises a threaded section.

3. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein said second engagement member radially extends from said handle.

4. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein said pivot comprises an omni-directional pivot.

5. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein said pivot is at least partially defined by a bracket operable to mount said weight arm to a frame rack member.

6. A weightlifting weight arm system comprising:

a weight arm which defines a first engagement member about an axis aid a pivot displaced from said first engagement member, said pivot operable to permit movement of said weight arm; aid

a handle which comprises a second engagement member engageable with said first engagement member to position said handle at one of a multitude of docked positions around said axis, said first engagement member comprises a gear shaped opening and said second engagement member comprises a gear shaped member which fits within said opening.

7. The system as recited in claim 6 , wherein said pivot comprises an omni-directional pivot.

8. The system as recited in claim 6 , wherein said pivot is at least partially defined by a bracket operable to mount said weight arm to a frame rack member.

9. A weightlifting weight arm system comprising:

a weight arm which defines an opening therethrough along an axis with a first engagement member defined at least partially around said opening and a pivot displaced from sad first engagement member, said pivot operable to permit movement of said weight arm;

a handle which comprises an attachment section and a second engagement member engageable with said first engagement member to position said handle at one of a multitude of docked positions around said axis; and

a weight horn engageable with said attachment member to axially retain said handle along said axis at said one of a multitude of docked positions.

10. The system as recited in claim 9 , wherein said attachment section comprises a threaded section.

11. The system as recited in dam 9 , wherein said weight horn is a generally tubular member.

12. A weightlifting weight arm system comprising:

a weight arm which defines a first engagement member about an axis and a pivot displaced from said first engagement member, said pivot operable to permit movement of said weight arm; and

a handle which comprises a second engagement member engageable with said first engagement member to position said handle at one of a multitude of clocked positions around said axis, said handle comprises an attachment section along said axis, said attachment section comprises a threaded section.

13. The system as recited in claim 12 , further comprising a knob engageable with said threaded section opposite said weight arm.

14. The system as recited in claim 12 , further comprising a weight horn engageable with said threaded section opposite said weight arm.

15. A weightlifting weight arm system comprising:

a weight arm which defines a first engagement member about an axis and a pivot displaced from said first engagement member, said pivot operable to permit movement of said weight arm; and

a handle which comprises a second engagement member engageable with said first engagement member to postion said handle at one of a multitude of docked positions around said axis, wherein said first engagement member comprises a star shaped opening and said second engagement member comprises a star shaped member which fits within said opening.

16. A weightlifting weight arm system comprising:

a weight arm which defines a first engagement member about an axis and a pivot displaced from said first engagement member, said pivot operable to permit movement of said weight arm; and

a handle which comprises a second engagement member engageable with said first engagement member to position said handle at one of a multitude of clocked positions around said axis, wherein said first engagement member comprises a multitude of radial extending openings and said second engagement member comprises a multitude of radially extending male member which correspond with said multitude of radial extending openings.
