Multi-grip exercise weight apparatus

摘要

A multi-grip exercise weight apparatus includes a weight plate pivotally attached to a bar handle such that the weight plate is pivotable in both angular directions. A grip ring is disposed around the perimeter of the weight plate. A plurality of support spokes extend from a central hub on the weight plate radially outwardly to the grip ring. A plurality of different grip regions are defined on the grip ring between adjacent support spokes. An end handle, or kettlebell handle, may be attached to the weight plate to provide a looped kettlebell-type grip.

主权项

1. A multi-grip exercise weight apparatus, comprising:
a bar handle having a first bar end and a second bar end; a first weight plate attached to the first bar end, the first weight plate including a hub pivotally attached to the bar handle and a weight plate axis of rotation along the centerline of the weight plate; the hub having a first radius and a hub center plane extending perpendicularly through the weight plate axis of rotation; a first grip ring disposed on the first weight plate, the first grip ring having a second radius larger than the first radius and the first grip ring including a first grip ring center plane extending perpendicularly through the weight plate axis of rotation with the first grip ring center plane axially spaced from the hub center plane of the first weight plate; a first support spoke extending between the hub and the first grip ring; a second support spoke extending between the hub and the first grip ring; a first arcuate grip region defined on the first grip ring, the first arcuate grip region extending between the first and second support spokes; and a first hand clearance opening defined radially between the first arcuate grip region and the hub and angularly between the first and second support spokes.
