1. A safety device for raising and supporting a barbell above a floor for addition to or removal from the barbell of barbell weights having a barbell radius, the safety device comprising:
an eccentric disk having a peripheral edge, a central rotation axis, and a cam lobe, the eccentric disk being rotatable from a first position to a second position, and the cam lobe being parallel to the eccentric disk along the peripheral edge; an access slot extending from the peripheral edge to the central rotation axis configured to receive the barbell in the first position; a support base configured to support the eccentric disk in the second position, the support base being substantially perpendicular to and affixed to the peripheral edge adjacent the cam lobe and radially opposite the access slot; and a seat adjacent the rotation axis and radially aligned with the cam lobe and the support base, wherein a first distance from the seat to the support base is greater than the radius of the barbell weights, and wherein the support base is configured to support the barbell above the floor when the safety device is rotated to the second position. |
