Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to safety devices for lifting and supporting barbells.
- the bar needs to be supported in a somewhat elevated position so that the weights can be slid off the end of the barbell without scraping along the floor.
- Weights are often in excess of 400 lbs. While athletes are strong individuals, capable of lifting the bar, the athletes can be very fatigued during a workout or competition. Furthermore, it is desirable, that the athlete expend their energy during the workout on the specific exercises and not on changing weights. So a device that assists in raising the barbell for changing weights is of great advantage. Furthermore, to facilitate removal of the weight by a single individual, it would be desirable if the device were capable of supporting the barbell in an elevated position.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,771,785 (Speyer I) and U.S. Pat. No. 3,825,253 (Speyer II) disclose a weight adapted for mounting on a bar that has a circular shaped and centrally disposed, axially aligned bore formed therein. It includes wall defining a radial slot from the bore to the periphery. The radial slot allows the weight to be mounted and removed without removing the collar or weight retaining device. Rather than lift the barbell, the weights can slide on or off through a slot. However, these weights are not regulation size. While they can be used during a workout, there is still a need for a device that can be used on barbells that are rounded with a radially central hole through which the weight is placed on the bar.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,839,997 discloses a weight lifting apparatus including a plurality of weights each having a central hole and a slot extending from the central hole to the perimeter of the associated weight. Roth does not solve any of the problems of the present invention as it pertains to regulation weights. It is not a device for elevating a bar and stabilizing it in an elevated position.
- U.S. Pat. No. 7,534,199 discloses an exercise dumbbell that is square shaped with rounded corners. The square shape prevents the weights from rolling along the ground and provides stability. Krull does not solve any of the problems of the present invention as it pertains to regulation weights. It is not a device for elevating a bar and stabilizing it in an elevated position.
- U.S. Design Pat. No. D610,636 (Goelish): The Goelish design patent discloses a weight set with a flattened portion to permit stability. The individual weights appear to have a slot from the center to the end to mount the weight onto the bar in a direction perpendicular to the bar.
- U.S. Design Pat. No. D617,854 also discloses the design of a barbell that has a slot from the perimeter of the weight to the center.
- the barbell is eccentric and has a flattened portion on which the barbell can rest with greater stability to prevent rolling. Stability is obtained by having a portion of the weight flattened to prevent rolling.
- U.S. Pat. No. 7,637,852 (Hoole I) and U.S. Pat. No. 7,674,208 (Hoole II) both disclose a device that was intended to elevate a barbell with weights and hold the barbell in a stable elevated position so weights can be removed and replaced.
- the barbell seat is tapered in a laterally outward direction so that the weights that are closest to the middle of the bar rest on the higher part of the seat.
- the barbell weights that are further from the middle of the bar are elevated and can be removed.
- the device is bulky. The weights must be rolled up the ramp requiring considerable effort. If released, the barbell can be caused to roll along the floor and injure someone.
- the Mitchell application discloses a device intended to elevate a barbell so that the weights can be removed.
- Mitchell teaches a barbell support comprising an elongated leverage handle that is affixed to at least one pivot foot.
- the Mitchell device has a cradle mounted on the pivot foot or the handle.
- the barbell is placed in the cradle with the pivot foot against the ground.
- the leverage handle is manipulated to raise the cradle relative to the pivot foot and elevate the cradle and barbell above the ground.
- a wheel can be mounted at the pivot foot to transport the barbell from one location to another in the same manner that a dolly lifts and transfers a box.
- the device while handy and makes lifting easy, is relatively heavy and bulky. It would be desirable to have a device that was more compact and lightweight. It would be considerable more desirable, if the device is capable of being fitted in a standard sized duffle bag or equipment bag.
- the present invention is a safety device for lifting a barbell loaded with barbell weights for safe removal of the barbell weights.
- the device can elevate a barbell containing very heavy weights off of the floor.
- the device can lift significant weights with a small fraction of a force by rotating the device to gradually rotate a cam lobe on the device underneath the barbell thereby lifting the barbell. It serves as a barbell stand and will support the barbell in a stable position so that the barbell does not capsize during removal of the weights.
- the device is lightweight and compact—weighing less than five pounds, preferably less than two pounds and most preferably less than one pound. It is capable of fitting in a suitcase, duffle bag or equipment bag.

Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 13/855,062, filed Apr. 2 2013, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/620,237, filed on Apr. 4, 2012. The entire teachings of the above applications are incorporated herein by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to safety devices for lifting and supporting barbells.
- 2. Description of Background Art
- Power lifting, competitive weightlifting and other free weight lifting sports require lifting large amounts of weight from a barbell located on the floor. Weights are adjusted during training and competition frequently. The changing of weights can be tedious, require the assistance of two individuals or at least some device to help change weights.
- To add and remove the weight effectively, the bar needs to be supported in a somewhat elevated position so that the weights can be slid off the end of the barbell without scraping along the floor. Weights are often in excess of 400 lbs. While athletes are strong individuals, capable of lifting the bar, the athletes can be very fatigued during a workout or competition. Furthermore, it is desirable, that the athlete expend their energy during the workout on the specific exercises and not on changing weights. So a device that assists in raising the barbell for changing weights is of great advantage. Furthermore, to facilitate removal of the weight by a single individual, it would be desirable if the device were capable of supporting the barbell in an elevated position.
- Safety concerns demand the barbells be supported in a stable manner so that the barbell does not fall off the device when the weights are being removed. Stability in a direction axial to the bar is important to prevent the device from collapsing when a force is exerted to remove the individual weights off the end and to put the individual weights on the ends of the barbell. Likewise, stability in a direction perpendicular to the barbell is needed so the barbell doesn't fall over on someone.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,771,785 (Speyer I) and U.S. Pat. No. 3,825,253 (Speyer II) disclose a weight adapted for mounting on a bar that has a circular shaped and centrally disposed, axially aligned bore formed therein. It includes wall defining a radial slot from the bore to the periphery. The radial slot allows the weight to be mounted and removed without removing the collar or weight retaining device. Rather than lift the barbell, the weights can slide on or off through a slot. However, these weights are not regulation size. While they can be used during a workout, there is still a need for a device that can be used on barbells that are rounded with a radially central hole through which the weight is placed on the bar.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,839,997 (Roth) discloses a weight lifting apparatus including a plurality of weights each having a central hole and a slot extending from the central hole to the perimeter of the associated weight. Roth does not solve any of the problems of the present invention as it pertains to regulation weights. It is not a device for elevating a bar and stabilizing it in an elevated position.
- U.S. Pat. No. 7,534,199 (Krull) discloses an exercise dumbbell that is square shaped with rounded corners. The square shape prevents the weights from rolling along the ground and provides stability. Krull does not solve any of the problems of the present invention as it pertains to regulation weights. It is not a device for elevating a bar and stabilizing it in an elevated position.
- U.S. Design Pat. No. D610,636 (Goelish): The Goelish design patent discloses a weight set with a flattened portion to permit stability. The individual weights appear to have a slot from the center to the end to mount the weight onto the bar in a direction perpendicular to the bar.
- U.S. Design Pat. No. D617,854 (Gettle) also discloses the design of a barbell that has a slot from the perimeter of the weight to the center. The barbell is eccentric and has a flattened portion on which the barbell can rest with greater stability to prevent rolling. Stability is obtained by having a portion of the weight flattened to prevent rolling.
- U.S. Pat. No. 7,637,852 (Hoole I) and U.S. Pat. No. 7,674,208 (Hoole II) both disclose a device that was intended to elevate a barbell with weights and hold the barbell in a stable elevated position so weights can be removed and replaced. The barbell seat is tapered in a laterally outward direction so that the weights that are closest to the middle of the bar rest on the higher part of the seat. The barbell weights that are further from the middle of the bar are elevated and can be removed. The device is bulky. The weights must be rolled up the ramp requiring considerable effort. If released, the barbell can be caused to roll along the floor and injure someone. It would be advantageous if there was a device that is relatively more portable and lightweight. Furthermore, not all of the weights are elevated off the ground. At least one weight is in a supportive position. Moreover, it would be desirable if there was an assistance device that uses leverage to make the rolling and lifting of the bar easier.
- U.S. Patent Publication No. 2011/0183818 (Mitchell): The Mitchell application discloses a device intended to elevate a barbell so that the weights can be removed. Mitchell teaches a barbell support comprising an elongated leverage handle that is affixed to at least one pivot foot. The Mitchell device has a cradle mounted on the pivot foot or the handle. The barbell is placed in the cradle with the pivot foot against the ground. The leverage handle is manipulated to raise the cradle relative to the pivot foot and elevate the cradle and barbell above the ground. Optionally, a wheel can be mounted at the pivot foot to transport the barbell from one location to another in the same manner that a dolly lifts and transfers a box. The device, while handy and makes lifting easy, is relatively heavy and bulky. It would be desirable to have a device that was more compact and lightweight. It would be considerable more desirable, if the device is capable of being fitted in a standard sized duffle bag or equipment bag.
- Nonetheless, there still exists a need for a device that can elevate a barbell containing very heavy weights off of the floor and support the barbell in a stable position so that the stand does not capsize during removal of the weights. It would be desirable if the device were lightweight and compact. Advantageously, it would be capable of fitting in a suitcases, duffle bag or equipment bag. One or more embodiments of the present invention address these and other needs.
- The present invention is a safety device for lifting a barbell loaded with barbell weights for safe removal of the barbell weights. The device can elevate a barbell containing very heavy weights off of the floor. The device can lift significant weights with a small fraction of a force by rotating the device to gradually rotate a cam lobe on the device underneath the barbell thereby lifting the barbell. It serves as a barbell stand and will support the barbell in a stable position so that the barbell does not capsize during removal of the weights. The device is lightweight and compact—weighing less than five pounds, preferably less than two pounds and most preferably less than one pound. It is capable of fitting in a suitcase, duffle bag or equipment bag.
- The safety device of one embodiment is configured to raise and support a barbell above the floor for addition to or removal from the barbell of barbell weights having a barbell radius. The safety device comprises an eccentric disk having a peripheral edge, a central rotation axis and a cam lobe. The eccentric disk is rotatable from a first position to a second position. The barbell is received onto the safety device in a first position. The safety device has an access slot extending from the peripheral edge to the central rotation axis configured to receive the bar of the barbell in a first position. A support base is configured to support the eccentric disk in the second position. The support base is perpendicular to and affixed to the peripheral edge adjacent the cam lobe. It is radially opposite the barbell access slot. There is a first distance from the support base to the seat that is greater than the radius of the barbell weights.
- The safety device of one embodiment comprises a seat adjacent the rotation axis radially aligned with the cam lobe and the support base. The support base is configured to support the barbell above the level of the floor when the cam lift is rotated to the second position.
- In one embodiment, the support base has a generally flat surface that conforms to the floor and prevents rolling.
- In another embodiment, the support base extends perpendicularly outward from the disk.
- In still another embodiment, the support base has one or more reinforcing buttresses extending from the support base to the disk.
- In an embodiment, the cam lift has a total weight that is less than five pounds.
- Preferably, the cam lift is made of molded plastic. Optionally, the cam lift is made of wood or a composite material.
- In one embodiment, the safety device further comprises holes in the disk defining a grip handle between the peripheral edge and holes.
- In one embodiment, there is a method of changing the weights on a barbell. The method comprises providing a safety device according to one or more of the embodiments disclosed herein. The barbell is then slid into the slot of the device. Next, the device is rotated or rolled to orient the cam lobe in a downward position to lift the barbell. The barbell is removed from the device by rotating or rolling the device to a position other than a downward position and sliding the device off the barbell.
- In one embodiment, the support base has a generally flat surface that conforms to the floor and prevents rolling, wherein the step of rotating positions the generally flat surface on the floor.
- The support base, of one embodiment, extends perpendicularly outward from the disk. After the step of rolling, the base resists tipping when the weight is pulled from or mounted onto the barbell. The support base, typically, has one or more buttresses extending from the support base to the disk.
- The present invention, including its one or more embodiments, can be better understood with reference to the following drawings, detailed description and examples, which are included to teach the invention without limiting the scope of the invention.
- The foregoing will be apparent from the following more particular description of example embodiments of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which like reference characters refer to the same parts throughout the different views.

In one embodiment, the radius of thelargest weight 8 to be lifted is slightly larger than the primary radius. Theeccentric disk 12 has a plurality of holes forming gripping handles 34. This decreases the overall weight and provides improved functionality. - The
cam lift 10 being generally round is rotatable from a first position to a second position. The first position is any position where thecam lift 10 is placed over the barbell 5 by sliding thebar 6 of the barbell 5 onto thecam lift 10. The second position is the position where thecam lift 10 supports the barbell 5 elevated above thefloor 4 for easy access to add or remove the weights. Thecam lift 10 is placed on the barbell 5 in a first position via anaccess slot 18 extending from amouth 19 of theaccess slot 18 at theperipheral edge 14 to aseat 27 adjacent thecentral rotation axis 16. - With reference to
FIGS. 3 and 8 , thesupport base 28 is configured to support theeccentric disk 14 in the second position. Thesupport base 28 is perpendicular to theaccess slot 18. Thesupport base 28 is affixed to theperipheral edge 14 adjacent thecam lobe 20. As shown inFIGS. 2 and 6 , thesupport base 28 is flat so that it functions as a stand. Accordingly, thesupport base 28 is preferably has aflat surface 29 on the bottom side of thesupport base 28 that is sufficient to impart the desired stability. Thesupport base 28 is radially opposite themouth 19 of theaccess slot 18. There is a first distance from theseat 27 adjacent thecentral rotation axis 16 to thesupport base 28 that is greater than the radius of thelargest barbell weights 8 that thecam lift 10 is designed to lift. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , with reference toFIGS. 3 , 4, 7 and 8, theseat 27 of thecam lift 10 receives and supports thebar 6 of the barbell 5. It is fitted with asupport collar 26. That preferably increases the overall width of theseat 27 by a minimum of twice the thickness of theeccentric disk 12, preferably three times the width. In one embodiment theeccentric disk 12 is about ¾ of an inch thick. Thecollar 26 is preferably about ¾ inch thick on both sides of theeccentric disk 12 increasing the thickness of theseat 27 to about 2¼ inches thick. The additional thickness provides added support strength to thecam lift 10 while minimizing the overall weight of thecam lift 10. Thecollar 26 allows thecam lift 10 to support greater weight without overall thickening theeccentric disk 12. - The
access slot 18, theseat 27 and thecentral axis 16 are radially aligned with thecam lobe 20 and thesupport base 28. Thesupport base 28 having a bottomflat surface 29 supports the barbell 5 and thebarbell weights 8 above the level of thefloor 4 when thecam lift 10 is rotated to the second position supporting the barbell as a barbell stand. - Orientation of the
cam lift 10 can be describe best with reference to a three dimensional grid having an x-axis, a y-axis and a z-axis. The x- and z-axis are horizontal, extend perpendicular to one another with the y-axis extending vertical and perpendicular to both the x axis and z axis. For the sake of relative orientation of the parts and without limitation, thesupport base 28 has a generallyflat surface 29 that is horizontal when thecam lift 10 is positioned in the second position where thecam lift 10 functions as a stand. Theeccentric disk 12 is aligned along the x-axis and stand vertical with theaccess slot 18,seat 27 andcentral axis 16 extending perpendicular to and centered above the stand in the second position. - With particular reference to
FIGS. 3 , 4, 7 and 8, thesupport base 28 is flat in the direction of the x-axis to provide a stable base when thecam lift 10 is rotated by rolling into the second position for supporting the barbell 5. It extends outward in the direction of the z-axis perpendicular to theeccentric disk 12.Buttresses 30 extend on both sides in the direction of the z-axis from the support base to thecollar 26. Thecollar 26 andseat 27 are centered directly above thesupport base 29 for greater stability. - The
flat surface 29 conforms to thefloor 4 and prevents rolling. Preferably thesupport base 28 is sufficiently large to not only support the barbell 5 but stabilize thecam lift 10 when in the second position supporting the barbell 5 and functioning as a stand for the weights. Thecam lift 10 can be knocked over by being rolled off theflat surface 29 of thesupport base 28 in a direction perpendicular to the barbell (x-direction). Thus, thebase 28 and itsflat surface 29 is sufficiently large (in the direction of the x-axis) to prevent it from being tipped over easily. In one embodiment, the base 28 (in the direction of the x-axis) is a minimum of 0.3 times the distance from theseat 27 to theflat surface 29, preferably a minimum of 0.4 times the distance from theseat 27 to theflat surface 29. Most preferably the base 28 (in the direction of the x-axis) is a minimum of 0.5 times the distance from theseat 27 to theflat surface 29. On the other hand, if thesupport base 28 is too large in the x-direction is will lose the feature of being able to smoothly rotate thecam lift 10 into the second position. - As noted, the
support base 28 extends perpendicularly outward from the disk (in the direction of the z-axis). This prevents thecam lift 10 from tipping over due to movement of the barbell 5 in the direction of the axis of thebar 6. Thus, thebase 28 and itsflat surface 29 is sufficiently large (in the direction of the z-axis) to prevent it from being tipped over easily due to movement of the barbell 5 in the direction of the axis of thebar 6. In one embodiment, the base 28 (in the direction of the z-axis) is a minimum of 0.3 times the distance from theseat 27 to theflat surface 29, preferably a minimum of 0.4 times the distance from theseat 27 to theflat surface 29. Most preferably the base 28 (in the direction of the z-axis) is a minimum of 0.5 times the distance from theseat 27 to theflat surface 29. - In an embodiment, the
cam lift 10 has a total weight that is less than five pounds, preferably less than 4 pounds, more preferably less than 3 pounds, most preferably less than 2 pounds. The height of thecam lift 10 is preferably no more than 1.10 of the diameter of thelargest weight 8 it is designed to lift. - In one embodiment, the
cam lift 10 is made of wood, oriented strand board or high density fiberboard. In another embodiment, thecam lift 10 is made of molded plastic. - The use of the
cam lift 10 is described with reference toFIG. 5 . Acam lift 10 is provided according to one or more embodiments of the present invention. Thecam lift 10 is placed over thebar 6 of the barbell 5 by sliding thebar 6 into theaccess slot 18 of thecam lift 10. Next, thecam lift 10 is rotated as shown bydirection arrows 38 by rolling thecam lift 10 to orient thecam lobe 20 in a downward position as illustrated inFIG. 6 . This rotation gently lifts the barbell 5 as theperipheral edge 14 in the area of thecam lobe 20 is rotated under thebar 6 to lift the barbell 5. Further rotation positions thesupport base 12 centered under theseat 27 and forms a stable stand as shown inFIGS. 6 , 7 and 8. In this position, thesupport base 28 has a generallyflat surface 29 that conforms to thefloor 4 and prevents rolling. Because the distance between theseat 27 and the top of thesupport base 28 is greater than the radius of theweights 8 of the barbell, the barbells are lifted off the ground. - The
support base 28, of one embodiment, extends perpendicularly outward from theeccentric disk 12. After the step of rolling, thebase 28 resists tipping when the weight is pulled from or mounted onto the barbell. Thesupport base 28, typically, has one or more buttresses extending from thesupport base 28 to thedisk 12. Thecam lift 10 can be removed from the barbell 5 by rolling thecam lift 10 from thebase 28 and sliding thecam lift 10 off thebar 6. - The present invention, including its one or more embodiments, can be better understood with reference to the following drawings, detailed description and examples, which are included to teach the invention without limiting the scope of the invention.
