Abstract

The device comprises a steel tube 10 and blanking caps 12 at each end fitted with plastic moulded metal 'T' handles 14. One blanking cap is releasably secured, and when removed, weights 15 are fitted externally, or a weight rack 16 is pulled out and metal discs or tins filled with sand or heavier material are inserted. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Weighttrainingbody building device This invention relates to the training of the body for fitness and the building of the bodyforstrengtji.
Weight training and body building devices are many, and vary from the simple straight barwith weights at each end to sophisticated gym sets requiring pivots and pulleys. Other devices require exertion against the action of a spring. Mostbodysculpture equipment is expensive and often has to be purchased in kit form, some ofwhich is lying idle until such times as the user's body had developed the strength to include it.
According to the present invention there is provided a steel tube with end blanking caps. Secured into the blanking caps are handles with plastic moulded grips. Extra weights can befitted over the external circumference of the steel tube. Running through the centre of the steel tube and passing into the 'T' handles is a steel weight rack. Tinsfilied with anything from sand to lead pellets are inserted into the weight rack, or alternatively a properly manufactured set of weight discs can be inserted.
A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing inwhich: Figure 1 shows in plan form the complete device.
Only one external weight is shown for reasons of clarity.
Figure 2 shows the weight rack removed from main body.
Figure 3 shows one ofthe tins removed from the weight rack.
Figure 4shows the alternative weight discs required to fill one segment ofthe weight rack.
Referring to the drawing the device comprises a steel tube 10with end blanking caps 12. Secured into the end blanking caps are 'T' handles 14with moulded hand grips. Surrounding the.external cir cumference of the steel tube are weights 15 with integral positioning grub screw. Through the centre ofthe steel tube and protruding through the end blanking caps into the'T' handles is a weight rack 16.
The weight rack is required as a housing fortins 17 with screw on lids. Metal discs 18 provide an alternative to the tins.
In order to increase or decrease external or internal weights, one of the end blanking caps 12 is remov able. When unscrewed complete with 'T' handle 14 an external weight can be slipped overthe steel tube 10, ortheweight rack 16can be pulled outand atin 17 or weights 18 can be added internally. The end blanking cap with 'T' handle can then be screwed back into place.
1. Aweighttraining and body building device comprising a body in the form of a tube, blanked offat both ends with each blanking cap incorporating aT' handle with plastic moulded grip.
2. Aweighttraining and body building device as claimed in Claim 1 whereby an end blanking cap can be removed complete with 'T' handle.
-3. Aweighttraining and body building device as claimed in Claims 1 and 2 whereby weights can be added over the external circumference ofthetube.
4. Aweighttraining and body building device as claimed in Claims 1,2 and 3 whereby weights can be added internally.
5. Aweighttraining and body building device as claimed in Claims 1,2,3 and 4 whereby internal weights are held in position by a metal weight rack.
6. Aweight training and body building device as claimed in Claims 1,2,3,4 and 5 whereby the internal weight medium can be as cheap as sand and is contained in removable tins.
7. Aweighttraining and body building device as claimed in Claims 1 to 6 whereby the internal weights can be metal discs manufactured to suit.
8. Aweighttraining and body building device as claimed in Claims 1 to 7 with exercises designed for one ortho people.
9. Aweighttraining and body building device as claimed in Claims 1 to 8that can be used forathletic dancing to music.
10. Aweighttraining and body building device as claimed in Claims 1 to 9 that can be provided with electro plated finish.
11. Aweighttrainingand bodybuilding deviceas claimed in Claims 1 to 9 that can be manufactured from ferrous or non-ferrous metals.
12. Aweighttraining and body building device as claimed in Claims 1 to 9 provided in any one of a selective range of colours.
