Definitions
- each weight is a container for fluid, comprising rigid plate members and a collapsible/expandible receptacle extending between opposing faces of the plate members.
- Means such as a screw-capped filling port is used for introducing or removing water into the expandible weight unit .
- Weight lifting equipment according to the present invention is particularly useful for exercising at the beach, where water is readily available and the light weight and portability of the equipment is advantageous. Similarly, the ease of adjustability of the variable weights make them ideal for carrying out a graded workout beside a swimming pool.
- Figure 1A is a plan view of one of the two rigid plate members that accommodate an end of the crossbar of the dumbell or barbell;
- Figure 3 is a further view of the dumbell of Figure 1, but with exterior of the weight container and of ' the outer covering of the crossbar partly broken away to show the internal functioning components;
- Each weight unit comprises a first rigid plate member 16 having a central aperture 18 for receiving an end of crossbar 10, and second rigid plate member 20 in axial alignment with crossbar 10 and first plate member 16.
- These plates form an integral weight unit with flexible bellows- formed receptacle 22 which may be fabricated, for example, of a flexible silicone polymer including end portions 22a which outwardly overlap and cover face plates 16 and 20.
- filling means When a bellows is expanded or contracted to a desired calibration position, water is added through filling means. In the illustrated embodiment this is threaded filling port 30a with associated screw cap 30b.
- a heavy weight barbell made according to the invention need not be restricted to a single pair of bellows units at opposite ends of a bar. Additional weights could be included by multiple interlocking or separate units at each ends of the bar.
