Weight securing system

Abstract

The invention provides a weight carrying member having a longitudinal axis, such as a weight carrying member on a dumbbell, barbell or other exercise equipment. In one embodiment a plurality of spaced apart holes are provided along the weight carrying member's longitudinal axis. Each of the holes is suitable to receive a locking pin. In another embodiment a plurality of spaced apart recesses are provided along the weight carrying member's longitudinal axis. Each of said recesses is suitable to receive a locking pin. One or more weights can be securely maintained on the weight carrying member, at a desired location along the longitudinal axis, by sandwiching the weights between a pair of locking pins inserted in, or through, the recesses or holes.

1 . A weight lifting bar having a weight carrying member with a longitudinal axis, comprising: 
 a plurality of spaced apart holes through said weight carrying member and positioned along said longitudinal axis, each hole suitable to receive a locking pin; and    a grip for gripping by a user to perform an exercise movement.    
   
   
       2 . A weight carrying member having a longitudinal axis, comprising: 
 a plurality of spaced apart holes through said weight carrying member and positioned along said longitudinal axis, each hole suitable to receive a locking pin.    
   
   
       3 . The weight carrying member of  claim 2  further comprising a grip for gripping by a user to perform an exercise movement.  
   
   
       4 . The weight carrying member of  claim 2  further comprising: 
 a weight stop; and    a weight loading end,    wherein said plurality of spaced apart holes are positioned between the weight stop and weight loading end.    
   
   
       5 . The weight carrying member of  claim 4  further comprising a grip for gripping by a user to perform an exercise movement.  
   
   
       6 . A weight carrying member having a longitudinal axis, comprising: 
 a plurality of spaced apart recesses in said weight carrying member and positioned along said longitudinal axis, each recess suitable to receive a locking pin.    
   
   
       7 . The weight carrying member of  claim 6  further comprising a grip for gripping by a user to perform an exercise movement.  
   
   
       8 . The weight carrying member of  claim 6  further comprising: 
 a weight stop; and    a weight loading end,    wherein said plurality of spaced apart recesses are positioned between the weight stop and weight loading end.    
   
   
       9 . The weight carrying member of  claim 8  further comprising a grip for gripping by a user to perform an exercise movement.
