TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention refers to a Russian weight, also called a "kettlebell", which has a series of modifications that facilitate its handling and reduce the risk of injury.

STATE OF THE ART

Different types of weights are known for bodybuilding and other physical exercises. A well-known type is the Russian weight or “kettlebell”, formed by a main mass, approximately spherical in shape, and a handle. An example of a kettlebell can be seen in the design patent USD950654 or in US2021379440, where its main mass is adjustable.

This weight has a main drawback in its handle or handle. This handle is prepared to be held with two hands, but the space defined for it is reduced. If the main mass is heavy, it is difficult to support it and can cause some type of injury.

The applicant does not know of any weight with the same advantages as the invention.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of a kettlebell according to the claims. Its different embodiments solve the problems of the state of the art.

To do this, the kettlebell comprises a main mass that has a flat support area on the ground. The mass can be adjustable, as is known in the state of the art. It also comprises two handles on the opposite side to the flat area. Thus, the dumbbell can be held in one or two hands without affecting the way you work. The handles are preferably symmetrical with respect to a vertical plane, perpendicular to the support area.

The addition of a second handle adds a wide variety of exercises that can only be performed by having two handles, in addition to being able to continue performing the same exercises as with the traditional model.

These handles have been placed with an inclination with respect to the vertical that improves their ergonomics and makes them more comfortable to use, improving the pressure that the ball exerts on the athlete's forearm in various exercises. The handle is no longer centered and does not line up with the end of the ball's circumference, preventing bruising and discomfort in the forearm area.

By having two handles and being able to be used with one or two hands, you have the possibility of doing an exercise with a greater load by doing it unilaterally or reducing this load by half, using both hands. That is, the same weight has double utility. For example, a 16kg unit being used with one hand, has a load of 16kg, and when used with two hands it becomes 8kg per hand. Consequently, an 8kg unit can be dispensed with. This reduces the necessary stock in sports centers and the space and material, with the associated ecological savings.

The two handles can be parallel, so that it is more comfortable. They can also be divergent, which facilitates use by a single handle.

Other variants will be discussed in the rest of the memory.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

For a better understanding of the invention, the following figures are included.

MODES OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

Next, an embodiment of the invention is briefly described, as an illustrative and non-limiting example of the latter.

A preferred embodiment is shown in the figure. The kettlebell has a main mass (1), which has been represented in a spherical shape with a flat support area (2) on the ground. The weight also comprises two handles (3) arranged on the same side, opposite the flat support area (2). The mass (1) can also be cylindrical, spindle-shaped or barrel-shaped, oval... without affecting the invention.

The handles (3) can be seen especially in figure 2. It can be seen how they are arranged a few centimeters apart, generally less than 15 cm, depending on the weight of the dough (1). The handles (3) can be parallel, as shown in figure 2, or slightly divergent (figure 3).

Claims (1)

1- Kettlebell, with a main mass (1) that has a flat support area (2), characterized in that it comprises two handles (3) on the opposite side to the flat area (2). 2- Kettlebell, according to claim 1, characterized in that the two handles (3) are parallel. 3- Kettlebell, according to claim 1, characterized in that the two handles (3) are divergent.
