Weight training device with tire weights

Abstract

A weight training device with tire weights has a gripping handle, two inner retaining panels separately mounted on the gripping handle, two outer retaining panels each respectively mounted beside a corresponding one of the inner retaining panels, and multiple tire weights mounted and held between each outer retaining panel and the corresponding inner retaining panel. Each tire weight is made of elastomer and is filled with multiple grains, such as sand, iron sand or the like, in order to have a required weight. When the weight training device with the tire weights is dropped from a high place to a plane, the elastic tire weights do not damage the plane or injure surrounding people. Moreover, people walking by would not get hurt or injured when accidentally kicking against the weight training device with the tire weights.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A weight training device comprising:
 a gripping handle having two opposite ends; and   multiple tire weights securely mounted on the gripping handle, disposed adjacent to the ends of the gripping handle, and each tire weight made of elastomer.   
     
     
         2 . The weight training device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein
 the weight training device further comprises

 two outer retaining panels separately mounted securely on the gripping handle, respectively corresponding to the inner retaining panels, and each outer retaining panel disposed between a corresponding inner retaining panel and the end of the gripping handle that is adjacent to the corresponding inner retaining panel; and 
   the tire weights are disposed and held between each outer retaining panel and the corresponding inner retaining panel.   
     
     
         3 . The weight training device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein
 the gripping handle further has an outer surface and two outer threads formed on the outer surface of the gripping handle and respectively disposed adjacent to the ends of the gripping handle;   each inner retaining panel has a mounting hole being threaded and engaging the outer threads of the gripping handle; and   each outer retaining panel has a mounting hole being threaded and engaging the outer threads of the gripping handle.   
     
     
         4 . The weight training device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein
 the gripping handle comprises
 a main rod having
 two opposite ends; and 
 two connecting bars respectively protruding axially from the ends of the main rod, and each connecting bar having an outer surface being threaded; and 
 
 two extending rods respectively connected to the connecting bars of the main rod, each extending rod having a proximal end, a distal end, an outer surface, and a threaded hole formed in the proximal end of the extending rod such that a corresponding connecting bar of the main rod is connected with the extending rod via the threaded hole, and the threaded hole engaging the threaded outer surface of the corresponding connecting bar; and 
   the tire weights are securely mounted on the extending rods of the gripping handle.   
     
     
         5 . The weight training device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein
 the gripping handle comprises
 a main rod having
 two opposite ends; and 
 two connecting bars respectively protruding axially from the ends of the main rod, and each connecting bar having an outer surface being threaded; and 
 
 two extending rods respectively connected to the connecting bars of the main rod, each extending rod having a proximal end, a distal end, an outer surface, and a threaded hole formed in the proximal end of the extending rod such that a corresponding connecting bar of the main rod is connected with the extending rod via the threaded hole, and the threaded hole engaging the threaded outer surface of the corresponding connecting bar; 
   the inner retaining panels are respectively mounted securely on the extending rods of the gripping handle and are respectively disposed adjacent to the distal ends of the extending rods; and   the outer retaining panels are respectively mounted securely on the extending rods of the gripping handle, and each outer retaining panel is disposed between the corresponding inner retaining panel and the distal end of the extending rod of the gripping handle that is adjacent to the corresponding inner retaining panel.   
     
     
         6 . The weight training device as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein
 the gripping handle comprises
 a main rod having
 two opposite ends; and 
 two connecting bars respectively protruding axially from the ends of the main rod, and each connecting bar having an outer surface being threaded; and 
 
 two extending rods respectively connected to the connecting bars of the main rod, each extending rod having a proximal end, a distal end, an outer surface, and a threaded hole formed in the proximal end of the extending rod such that a corresponding connecting bar of the main rod is connected with the extending rod via the threaded hole, and the threaded hole engaging the threaded outer surface of the corresponding connecting bar; 
   the outer threads of the gripping handle are respectively formed on the outer surfaces of the extending rods and are respectively disposed adjacent to the distal ends of the extending rods.   
     
     
         7 . The weight training device as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein
 the gripping handle further has an outer tube mounted around the main rod and the extending rods, disposed between the outer threads and having two opposite ends; and   the inner retaining panels respectively abut the ends of the outer tube of the gripping handle.   
     
     
         8 . The weight training device as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein
 the gripping handle further has an outer tube mounted around the main rod and the extending rods, disposed between the outer threads and having two opposite ends; and   the inner retaining panels respectively abut the ends of the outer tube of the gripping handle.   
     
     
         9 . The weight training device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the elastomer is selected from the group consisting of rubber, latex and silicone rubber. 
     
     
         10 . The weight training device as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the elastomer is selected from the group consisting of rubber, latex and silicone rubber. 
     
     
         11 . The weight training device as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein each tire weight is filled with multiple grains. 
     
     
         12 . The weight training device as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein each tire weight is filled with multiple grains.
