The weight is equipped with a central vertical aperture, for receiving the center post of the weighting machine, and two offset vertical apertures for receiving the guide rails provided on the weightlifting machine. The weight also has a pair horizontal apertures used to receive a selector pin that locks a series of selector weight plates in place. The elastometric cover is included through the vertical apertures and is provided to help prevent the deterioration of the metal weight and to help prevent loud noises that occur when successive weight plates strike one another during the course of a exercise routine.
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/566,874, filed Apr. 28, 2004.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to weightlifting equipment, and more specifically to a selector weight plate for use with weightlifting machines that require a selector weight stack.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Weightlifting has become an extremely common form of physical exercise. Weightlifters have many options when it comes to choosing which equipment is best suited to perform their exercises. Most weightlifting centers provide stationary weightlifting machines, as well as free weights. Stationary weightlifting machines are usually in the form of selector machines that operate using a weight stack that is made up of steel plates, allowing the user to select a weight amount to perform a specific exercise. These plates are selected using a weight stack pin that is placed into the selector plate itself, allowing for that particular plate, as well as any above it, to be included in the chosen exercise.
- Generally, these selector weight plates are made of painted steel. Over time, these plates begin to chip, fade, rust, and become aesthetically unpleasing. Also, these plates make a tremendous amount of noise as an exercise is conducted and the plates bang against one another. Additionally, the flattened nature of these plates make them susceptible to becoming stuck to one another as lubricant applied to the guide rods on the weightlifting machine leaks onto the surface of the plates.
- There is a need for a weight selector plate that is more visually appealing and prevents the deterioration of the structural integrity of the plates. There is a further need for a weight selector plate that prevents successive plates from being stuck to one another. Thus, a selector weight plate solving the aforementioned problems is desired.
- The selector weight plate of the present invention includes a weight, preferably made from steel or cast iron, and a elastometric cover that completely encases the weight, which is designed to be used on standard stationary selector weightlifting machines.
- The weight is equipped with a central vertical aperture, for receiving the center post of the weighting machine, and two offset vertical apertures for receiving the guide rails provided on the weightlifting machine. The weight also has a pair horizontal apertures used to receive a selector pin that locks a series of selector weight plates in place. The elastometric cover is included through the vertical apertures and is provided to help prevent the deterioration of the metal weight and to help prevent loud noises that occur when successive weight plates strike one another during the course of a exercise routine.
- To assist in the easy interlocking of successive plates, the cover may be equipped with protrusions around the vertical apertures along the top side of the plates and mating indentions around the vertical apertures along the bottom side of the plates.
- Also, the portion of the cover that encases the bottom side of the weight may be further equipped with a means to help prevent successive plates from becoming stuck to one another due to lubricant than may have leaked from off of the guide rails. One such means is to provide the cover with a series of channels along the bottom side. Another such means is to provide the bottom side of the cover with a series of raised surfaces, preferably in a honeycomb pattern. Either such means prevents the flat surfaces of successive plates from fully contacting one another, thereby preventing the plates from suctioning and sticking to one another.
- These and other features of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view with a partial cut-a-way of a selector weight plate according to the present invention. -
FIG. 2 is a top plan view of a selector weight plate according to the present invention. -

Offsetvertical apertures 24 are equally spaced from centervertical aperture 22 and are provided to receive the guide rails found on a standard selector weightlifting machines for helping to provide linear vertical movement of theselector weight plates 10 during an exercise routine. -
Selector weight plate 10 is further provided with a pair ofhorizontal apertures 26 with eachaperture 26 extending from an edge ofselector weight plate 10 to the centralvertical aperture 22 perpendicular to the centralvertical aperture 22.Horizontal apertures 26 are provided to receive a standard selector pin used to lock a desired number of plates in place on a standard selector weightlifting machine. -
Cover 20 encasesweight member 30 such that access to centralvertical aperture 22, offsetvertical apertures 24, andhorizontal apertures 26 is still available.Cover 20 is included through centralvertical aperture 22 and offsetvertical apertures 24. In a preferred embodiment,cover 20 is provided with a series ofprotrusions 28 surrounding centralvertical aperture 22 and offsetvertical apertures 24 along the top side ofselector weight plate 10 and a corresponding series ofindentions 32 surrounding centralvertical aperture 22 and offsetvertical apertures 24 along the bottom side ofselector weight plate 10.Protrusions 28 andindentions 32 allows a series ofselector weight plates 10 to rest upon one another in an interlocking fashion, providing for easier use. -
FIG. 4 shows a first alternate embodiment ofselector weight plate 10 wherecover 20 is provided with a series ofchannels 34 located along the bottom side ofselector weight plate 10.Channels 34 provide a way for lubricant that has leaked from the guide rails on a standard selector weightlifting machine to be removed from the bottom surface of theweight selector plate 10, thereby preventing successive plates from becoming stuck to one another during an exercise routine. -
FIG. 5 shows a second alternate embodiment ofselector weight plate 10 wherecover 20 is provided with a series of raisedsurfaces 36, preferably in a honeycomb pattern, located along the bottom side ofselector weight plate 10. Raisedsurfaces 36 provide a way to prevent successive plates from being stuck to one another by helping to prevent the plates from making flush contact with one another. - In the preferred embodiment,
weight member 30 is rectangular in shape and is constructed out of steel or cast iron. In the preferred embodiment,cover 20 is constructed out of an elastometric material, preferably polyurethane. - It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but encompasses any and all embodiments within the scope of the following claims.
