Next, as shown in FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B, the user may trigger the push piece 43 to disengage the protruding column 44 from the fastening hole 14. At this point, the fastening between the fastener 40 and the fastening hole 14 is released and the position of the horizontal connecting board 35 is no longer fixed. Thus, the user may apply a force on the horizontal connecting board 35 to rotate the rotating unit 30. At this point, as shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, the user may rotate the rotating unit 30 such that the indication end 321 points to the numerical indication 2 of the weight indicator 16, enabling the rotating unit 30 to simultaneously drive the four sliding rods 33 to respectively move in the side-board upper chutes 12 and the side-board lower chutes 13 of the two side boards 10, so that the two fastening blocks 15 and 15a of the two side boards 10 connected to the four sliding rods 33 extend to the outside from the containing space 11. The two fastening blocks 15 and 15a extending to the outside from the containing space 11, the two first upper fastening holes 121 and the two first lower fastening holes 131 respectively pass through the two second upper fastening holes 221 of the second upper connecting board 220 and the two second lower fastening holes 231 of the second lower connecting board 230 of the two second sidewalls 210, such that the dumbbell main body 1 is joined with the first weight adding structure 100 and the second weight adding structure 200. Lastly, the user may release the push piece 43 to allow the spring 41 to push the protruding column 44, such that the protruding column 44 extends into the fastening hole 14 corresponding to the numerical indication 2 of the weight indicator 16 and be mutually fixed, thus fixing the position of the fastener 40. Thus, the rotating unit 30 connected to the fastener 40 and the sliding rod 33 connected thereto are also positioned, accordingly also positioning the fastening blocks 15 and 15a respectively connected to the sliding rods 33, and stably joining the two fastening blocks 15 and 15a with the first weight adding structure 100 and the second weight adding structure 200. As such, the overall weight of the assembled dumbbell 900 is further increased, and so the user may hold the connecting shaft 20 so as to lift the dumbbell main body 1, the first weight connecting structure 100 and the second weight adding structure 200 for workout.
It should be noted that, in the description of the assembled dumbbell 900 of the present invention, the dumbbell main body 1 can be additionally joined with the first weight adding structure 100 and the second weight adding structure 200. However, in practice, more weight adding structures having larger volumes can be designed in accordance with the structures of the first weight adding structure 100 and the second weight adding structure 200. Thus, the overall weight of the assembled dumbbell 900 can be further increased according to weight requirements of the user for workout.
With the structural design of the assembled dumbbell 900 and the dumbbell main structure 1 of the present invention, the assembled dumbbell 900 does not occupy an overly large space, and a user can quickly extend or withdraw the fastening blocks by using the rotating unit so as to quickly join the first weight adding structure and the second weight adding structure to change the weight in adaption to own training requirements. With human actual testing on the present invention, the process of operating the rotating unit to quickly extend or withdraw the fastening blocks and combine with another weight increasing structure takes only 1 to 2 seconds, and such operation process is easy and quick for the user.
It should be noted that, the embodiments given above are examples of the present invention rather than limitations to the present invention. Any variation without departing from the fundamental structure of the invention is to be encompassed within the scope of protection in accordance with the broadest interpretation of the appended claims of the application.
