Abstract

A fillable kettlebell is disclosed that can be used as an exercise device. When empty or “unfilled” the fillable kettlebell has a relatively small profile and is lightweight and thus very transportable particularly when compared to traditional kettlebells. Upon filling to the desired/user selectable weight, the fillable kettlebell provides superior functionality to conventional kettlebells as it will not rust and cause as much damage upon impact as traditional kettlebells. The fillable kettlebell can be made of a flexible material/fabric/webbing with a closable opening to accept and retain matter that has the desired weight for the specified volume. The fillable kettlebell can have attachment members that coupled a handle to the container. The handle allows a user to lift the kettlebell via a force exerted on the handle. After filling, a fastening member proximate to the closable opening can mechanically secure the fill port thereby securing the retained matter in the container. In some embodiment a bladder can be put in the container and a liquid can be used to supply the weight to the user.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A kettlebell exercise device comprising:
 a container made of robust flexible material with a closable opening to accept and retain matter that has a weight;   at least one attachment member coupled to the container;   a handle coupled to the at least one attachment member which allows a user to lift the kettlebell via a force exerted on the handle;   a closure mechanism proximate to the closable opening to mechanically secure closure of the opening thereby securing the retained matter in the container.   
     
     
         2 . The kettlebell of  claim 1  wherein the closeable opening is proximate to the handle. 
     
     
         3 . The kettlebell of  claim 1  further comprising a sleeve coupled to the kettlebell. 
     
     
         4 . The kettlebell of  claim 1  wherein the robust flexible material is ballistic nylon. 
     
     
         5 . The kettlebell of  claim 1  wherein the at least one attachment member is nylon webbing. 
     
     
         6 . The kettlebell of  claim 1  wherein the handle is a made from a molded polymer. 
     
     
         7 . The kettlebell of  claim 1  wherein the at least one attachment member extends four inches from the handle to the container. 
     
     
         8 . The kettlebell of  claim 1  further comprising a bladder to be inserted into the container to retain a liquid. 
     
     
         9 . The kettlebell of  claim 8  wherein the bladder has a valve to allow for the filling and retention of the liquid. 
     
     
         10 . The kettlebell of  claim 1  wherein the valve is a check valve. 
     
     
         11 . The kettlebell of  claim 1  wherein the closure mechanism comprises a buckle. 
     
     
         12 . The kettlebell of  claim 1  wherein the closure mechanism comprises a dry bag type closure assemble. 
     
     
         13 . The kettlebell of  claim 1  further comprising seams where the seams are overstitched 
     
     
         14 . The kettlebell of  claim 1  wherein the handle is greater than three inches and less than 5 inches from the opening. 
     
     
         15 . The kettlebell of  claim 1  wherein the at least one attachment member comprises four suspended straps made from nylon webbing. 
     
     
         16 . The kettlebell of  claim 15  wherein the four suspended straps are encircled by the handle. 
     
     
         17 . The kettlebell of  claim 1  wherein the container has a volume greater than one cubic foot. 
     
     
         18 . The kettlebell of  claim 1  wherein the securing mechanism can expand to accommodate a shift in contents of the container and accommodate such a shift without allowing the contents to exit the container. 
     
     
         19 . The kettlebell of  claim 1  wherein the kettlebell can be folded up into a package measuring two inches by two inches by six inches.
