Patent AT-E399583-T1: [Translated] ADJUSTABLE DUMBBELL WITH COMMERCIAL WEIGHTS

This invention relates to a selectorized dumbbell having a handle (4) that can be dropped down between nested left and right stacks of weight plates (32). The weight plates can comprise individual weights or a pair of weight plates, one from each stack, can be connected together to form a single weight (6). A selector (8) is provided to allow the user to select a desired number of weight plates from each stack and couple such weight plates to the handle to provide an adjustable weight dumbbell. Each weight includes a weight frame (20) having at least one carrier (30) to which a commodity weight can be fastened. The dumbbell can be shipped by the manufacturer with empty weight frames to reduce shipping costs. When the dumbbell with empty weight frames reaches a destination, the dumbbell can be completed by securing commodity weights to the carriers on the respective weight frames. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
