Exercise device with cushioning device

Abstract

An exercise device includes a weight member, and a cushioning element attached to the weight member, and the cushioning element includes an outer diameter greater than that of the weight member for allowing the cushioning element to be protruded out of the weight member and for preventing the weight member from hitting onto a supporting surface. The cushioning element includes a wall member having an outer diameter greater than that of the weight member, and the cushioning element includes a peripheral flange formed on an outer peripheral portion of the wall member for forming a chamber in the cushioning element and for receiving the weight member.

I claim: 
     
         1 . An exercise device comprising:
 a weight member, and   a cushioning element attached to said weight member, and said cushioning element including an outer diameter greater than that of said weight member for allowing said cushioning element to be protruded out of said weight member and for preventing said weight member from hitting onto a supporting surface.   
     
     
         2 . The exercise device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said cushioning element includes a wall member having an outer diameter greater than that of said weight member for preventing said weight member from hitting onto said supporting surface. 
     
     
         3 . The exercise device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said cushioning element includes a peripheral flange provided on an outer peripheral portion of said wall member for forming a chamber in said cushioning element and for receiving said weight member. 
     
     
         4 . The exercise device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said cushioning element includes a fastening member extended from said wall member for engaging with said weight member and for attaching said cushioning element to said weight member. 
     
     
         5 . The exercise device as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a second weight member, a handle mechanism engaged between said weight member and said second weight member for coupling and securing said weight member and said second weight member together and for actuating said weight member and said second weight member, and a second cushioning element attached to said second weight member. 
     
     
         6 . The exercise device as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said second cushioning element includes a wall member having an outer diameter greater than that of said second weight member for preventing said second weight member from hitting onto said supporting surface. 
     
     
         7 . The exercise device as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said second cushioning element includes a peripheral flange provided on an outer peripheral portion of said wall member for forming a chamber in said second cushioning element and for receiving said second weight member. 
     
     
         8 . The exercise device as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said second cushioning element includes a fastening member extended from said wall member for engaging with said second weight member and for attaching said second cushioning element to said second weight member.
