Balanced dumbbell and set of balanced dumbbells

Abstract

A balanced dumbbell includes a first weight having a hollow cylindrical shape extending in a first axial direction and a second weight having a hollow cylindrical shape extending in a second axial direction perpendicular to the first axial direction. A wrist support is disposed within a cutout on an upper end of the first weight and the second weight and defines an opening of the balanced dumbbell. A handle extends between inner surfaces of the first weight and is configured to be accessed by a user through the opening.

         2 . The balanced dumbbell according to  claim 1 , wherein the wrist support comprises a first and a second support disposed parallel to the handle. 
     
     
         3 . The balanced dumbbell according to  claim 1 , wherein the handle is disposed to extend in the second axial direction. 
     
     
         4 . The balanced dumbbell according to  claim 1 , wherein the first and second weights are joined at a bottom end of the first and second weights. 
     
     
         5 . The balanced dumbbell according to  claim 4 , wherein the bottom end is formed to comprise a flat surface. 
     
     
         6 . The balanced dumbbell according to  claim 1 , wherein the handle is disposed centrally to a mass of the dumbbell. 
     
     
         7 . A balanced dumbbell comprising:
 a spherical weight body;   an opening disposed in the spherical weight body on a first side thereof and extending at least partially through the weight body; and   a handle disposed within the opening, the handle being accessible through the opening and being disposed at substantially the center of the spherical weight body,   the handle and the spherical weight body being formed of a unitary construction.   
     
     
         8 . The balanced dumbbell according to  claim 7 , wherein the opening extends completely through the weight body to an opposite side thereof. 
     
     
         9 . The balanced dumbbell according to  claim 8 , wherein first wrist supports are disposed at a first edge of the opening at the first side and second wrist supports are disposed at a second edge of the opening at the opposite side. 
     
     
         10 . The balanced dumbbell according to  claim 9 , wherein the first wrist supports and the second wrist supports are oriented to be parallel with the handle. 
     
     
         11 . The balanced dumbbell according to  claim 7 , wherein the spherical weight body is constructed from a spherical wall. 
     
     
         12 . The balanced dumbbell according to  claim 7 , wherein the spherical weight body comprises a hollow portion. 
     
     
         13 . The balanced dumbbell according to  claim 7 , further comprising wrist supports wherein the wrist supports are oriented to be parallel with the handle. 
     
     
         14 . A set of balanced dumbbells comprising:
 groups of balanced dumbbells, each group having at least one balanced dumbbell, and each group having dumbbells with a weight that is different than other groups; each dumbbell comprising:
 a first weight having a hollow cylindrical shape extending in a first axial direction; 
 a second weight having a hollow cylindrical shape extending in a second axial direction perpendicular to the first axial direction; 
 a wrist support disposed within a cutout on an upper end of the first weight and the second weight, the wrist support defining an opening; and 
 a handle extending between inner surfaces of the first weight, the handle being configured to be accessed by a user through the opening; 
   a first group of balanced dumbbells having a weight that is greater than dumbbells in a second group of balanced dumbbells wherein a thickness of the hollow cylindrical shape of the first and second weights along the first and second axial directions is greater in the first group than a thickness of the hollow cylindrical shape of the first and second weights along the first and second axial directions of the second group.   
     
     
         15 . The set of balanced dumbbells according to  claim 14 , wherein the wrist support comprises a first and a second support disposed parallel to the handle. 
     
     
         16 . The set of balanced dumbbells according to  claim 14 , wherein the handle is disposed to extend in the second axial direction. 
     
     
         17 . The set of balanced dumbbells according to  claim 14 , wherein the first and second weights are joined at a bottom end of the first and second weights. 
     
     
         18 . The set of balanced dumbbells according to  claim 17 , wherein the bottom end is formed to comprise a flat surface. 
     
     
         19 . The set of balanced dumbbells according to  claim 14 , wherein the handle is disposed centrally to a mass of the dumbbell.
