Adjustable weight training/therapy device

摘要

An adjustable, customizable device for use in physical therapy and/or strength training. The device may have a rail; a handle; a weight, where the weight may be adjustably positioned along the rail and held in place against the rail via an attachment device; and a stop located on the rail adjacent the handle, such that the stop prevents the weight from coming into contact with the handle. When the device is held by the handle, the weight provides increased force the further the weight is located from the handle due to the cantilevered nature of the device. Thus, the amount of force used in various exercises can be adjusted by moving the weight along the rail, either between different types of exercises or as the user's strength increases. Different sizes and shapes of handles may be utilized to accommodate the user's hand size and exercise goals.

主权项

1. A device comprising:
a rail with a first end and a second end; a handle attached to the first end of the rail, wherein the handle is puck shaped or ball shaped; a weight, wherein the weight has a longitudinal bore therethrough such that the rail fits within the longitudinal bore and the weight is configured to be adjustably positioned along the rail and held in place against the rail via an attachment device; and a stop located on the rail adjacent the handle, such that the stop prevents the weight from coming into contact with the handle; wherein the handle has a threaded bore and the first end of the rail is threaded such that the handle is configured to be removably attached to the first end of the rail by screwing the handle onto the rail; and the weight has a threaded hole extending from the weight's exterior to the longitudinal bore, wherein the threaded hole runs perpendicular to the longitudinal bore; and the attachment device is a screw appropriately sized to fit within the threaded hole such that the attachment device is configured to be tightened to press against the rail, thus securing the weight in a desired position relative to the rail, or loosened to allow the weight to slide along the rail to a desired position.
