Abstract
An assembly and method for a variable weight shot put assembly. The assembly maintains its size while its total weight can be altered by the user as the user trains. The assembly includes a sphere, the shot put, which splits into at least two portions. Slugs are placed in various inner cavities located within the sphere. Slugs have different set weights and weights are placed in the inner cavities so that the sphere maintains its original center of gravity.
Description
- The present application relates to a shot put, and more particularly to a variable weight shot put assembly.
- The desire to train and prepare for a sporting competition, specifically the shot put, has been held by many people for ages. Shot put competitions started in the middle ages with competitors hurling cannon balls for distance. Current competitions have a set weight depending on the competitor's gender and age. A shot put ranges in weight from 4.4 lbs. for male and females age eight and under up to 16 lbs. for males and 8.8 lbs. for females competing in the Olympics. The weight of the shot put begins to decrease after males and females turn 50 years of age. From before the age of 8 past the age of 80, Males have approximately seven different set weights for the shot put and females have approximately 4 different set weights for the shot put. Shot puts also range in size, depending on the weight, from 80-90 mm to 110-130 mm in diameter.
- Currently, in order for a new competitor to train to compete in the shot put, the competitor must buy shot puts of different weights and sizes. This gets to be expensive, takes up additional space, and training can be slowed by the use of smaller, lighter shot puts during the initial phase or when working on technique.
- Although strides have been made to make training for the shot put cheaper, easier, and more effective, considerable short comings remain. It is desirable for new and existing competitors to be able to use one shot put assembly, of the proper size, where the competitor can alter the weight without changing the shot put size.
- The novel features believed characteristic of the application are set forth in the appended claims. However, the application itself, as well as a preferred mode of use, and further objectives and advantages thereof, will best be understood by reference to the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
