Device for using dumb-bells

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for using dumb-bells on a workbench with a bar including two supports suspended on the bar, wherein each support has a curved surface for placing the dumb-bells, and means for sliding and attaching the support along the bar. The device allows the position of the supports to be adjusted horizontally and vertically to fit to the user's dimensions. The device also has anti-rotation means to prevent the supports suspended on the bar from spinning. This configuration provides a more versatile assembly since it allows the slope of the device on the frame of the workbench to be changed according to the angle defined between the bar and the profile.

1 . A device for using supporting dumb-bells on a workbench with a bar ( 1 ), comprising:
 at least two supports ( 2 ) configured to be suspended on the bar ( 1 ) by means of hook-like elements ( 8 ′), wherein each support ( 2 ) has a curved surface ( 2 ′) for placing the dumb-bells ( 3 ), and   anti-rotation means to prevent the supports ( 2 ) suspended on the bar ( 1 ) from spinning,   
       wherein each support ( 2 ) has means for sliding and attaching the support ( 2 ) along the bar ( 1 ). 
     
     
         2 . The device for supporting dumb-bells according to  claim 1 , wherein the anti-rotation means are formed by at least one coupling element ( 4 ) configured for coupling the device on the frame ( 16 ) of the workbench on which the coupling element is supported, the coupling element ( 4 ) being formed by a profile ( 11 ) which is configured to be inserted into an end of the bar ( 1 ), whereas an opposite end of the profile ( 11 ) has at a termination thereof a lug ( 12 ) supported by way of a stop on the frame ( 16 ) of the workbench. 
     
     
         3 . The device for supporting dumb-bells according to  claim 1 , wherein the anti-rotation means are formed by grooves ( 17 ) located on a back of the supports ( 2 ) for receiving a second bar ( 1 ′) to be supported on the frame ( 16 ) of the workbench. 
     
     
         4 . The device for supporting dumb-bells according to  claim 1 , wherein the anti-rotation means are formed by at least one element ( 18 ) configured to be coupled to an end of the bar ( 1 ), said element ( 18 ) being associated with a secondary bar ( 1 ′) arranged parallel to the bar ( 1 ). 
     
     
         5 . The device for supporting dumb-bells according to  claim 1 , wherein the means for sliding and attaching the support ( 2 ) along the bar ( 1 ) are formed by a pin ( 7 ) which is configured to be attached to the bar ( 1 ) for positioning the support ( 2 ) in the desired horizontal position. 
     
     
         6 . The device for using dumb-bells according to  claim 1 , wherein each support ( 2 ) has adjustment means for adjusting a height with respect to the bar ( 1 ), wherein the adjustment means are formed by a complementary part ( 8 ) arranged by way of a plate on a rear face of the support ( 2 ), wherein the complementary part ( 8 ) is provided with a plurality of vertically arranged perforations ( 9 ), such that a pin ( 10 ) goes through the support ( 2 ) and one of the perforations ( 9 ) of the complementary part ( 8 ) for attaching the support ( 2 ) in a desired vertical position. 
     
     
         7 . The device for using dumb-bells according to  claim 2 , wherein the coupling element ( 4 ) has adjustment means for adjusting an angle defined between the bar ( 1 ) and the profile ( 11 ), such that the adjustment means allows a slope of the device on the frame ( 16 ) of the workbench to be adjusted. 
     
     
         8 . The device for using dumb-bells according to  claim 7 , wherein the adjustment means for adjusting the angle defined between the profile ( 11 ) and the bar ( 11 ) are formed by a through bolt ( 13 ). 
     
     
         9 . The device for using dumb-bells according to  claim 1 , wherein the support ( 2 ) is provided with a spongy material ( 14 ) on the curved surface ( 2 ′) to cushion a fall of the dumb-bell ( 3 ). 
     
     
         10 . The device for using dumb-bells according to  claim 1 , wherein the support ( 2 ) has a U shape, with edges of the support ( 2 ) being raised by way of a stop to enable retaining the dumb-bells ( 3 ). 
     
     
         11 . The device for using dumb-bells according to  claim 1 , wherein the support ( 2 ) has grips ( 15 ) to facilitate handling of the device.
