Smart weight system

Abstract

A weight system may include a concentric weight plate, a weight body, a locking mechanism, and a handle. The weight body may define a cavity. The locking mechanism may be disposed within the cavity. The locking mechanism may be configured to selectively attach the concentric weight plate to the weight body. The handle may be coupled to the weight body and configured to permit a user to move the weight system as a single unit.

         9 . The weight system of  claim 1  further comprising a locking pin, wherein the locking mechanism comprises a front surface that defines a receptacle configured to receive the locking pin to selectively attach the concentric weight plate to the weight body. 
     
     
         10 . The weight system of  claim 9  further comprising a plurality of concentric weight plates comprising the concentric weight plate, wherein:
 the front surface further includes a tiered surface comprising a plurality of tiers; and 
 each tier of the plurality of tiers is configured to selectively attach a different concentric weight plate of the plurality of concentric weight plates. 
 
     
     
         11 . The weight system of  claim 1  further comprising a plurality of concentric weight plates comprising the concentric weight plate, wherein:
 the locking mechanism comprises a plurality of locking disks; and 
 each locking disk of the plurality of locking disks is associated with a different concentric weight plate of the plurality of concentric weight plates. 
 
     
     
         12 . The weight system of  claim 1  further comprising a plurality of concentric weight plates comprising the concentric weight plate, wherein the locking mechanism comprises a locking disk associated with each concentric weight plate of the plurality of concentric weight plates. 
     
     
         13 . The weight system of  claim 12  further comprising an unlocking cam, wherein the locking mechanism comprises an unlocking disk configured to interface with the unlocking cam to actuate the locking disk to selectively remove at least a portion of the plurality of concentric weight plates. 
     
     
         14 . The weight system of  claim 1 , wherein the weight system comprises a kettlebell weight system, a dumbbell weight system, a barbell weight system, or some combination thereof.
