FIGS. 1-2 are perspective views of an exercise bar according to one embodiment.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the exercise bar 100 may be, but is not limited to, a weight lifting bar to support weights, such as weight lifting plates (not shown). The exercise bar 100 may be used with handles, for example, including handles 81a, 81b, 82a, and 82b. In one example, users may grip the handles, and then lift and lower the exercise bar 100 with weights applied. While the handles may be cylindrically-shaped as shown, the handles may take the shape, form or texture of a variety of objects or combination of objects such as spheres, semi-cylindrical, grooved, notched, cubes, smooth or textured or a combination of the same, or any other grippable surface or shape. The handles may be similarly-shaped across the exercise bar 100 or be comprised of a combination of shapes as desired. The handles may protrude or recess from the surface of the exercise bar 100. The handles may exhibit rotational properties or slide freely along the length of sections containing a track (e.g., recesses 16, 18, 20, and 22 described below) and pin holes (e.g., fixation points 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, and 17 described below). The handles may extend outside the dimensions of the exercise bar 100 yet remained anchored to the exercise bar 100. Thus, while certain shapes and configurations are described and shown, it will be understood that different shapes and/or combination of shapes may be utilized as desired.

In the illustrated example, the bar 100 may include a first end support 2, a second end support 4 spaced apart from the first end support 2 in a first direction X1, and handle supports located between the first and second end supports 2 and 4 in the first direction X1.

The handle supports may include a first handle support 6b, a second handle support 12a, a third handle support 6c, and a fourth handle support 14a. In one example, the handle supports 6b and 12a may be spaced apart from each other in a second direction Y1 different from the first direction X1. For example, the second direction Y1 may be perpendicular to the first direction X1, or may be non-perpendicular to the first direction X1 (e.g., an angle of the second direction Y1 to the first direction X1 may be 30 degrees, 45 degrees, 80 degrees, 120 degrees, or other degrees). The handle supports 6c and 14a may be spaced apart from each other in the second direction Y1. Each pair of the handle supports 6b and 12a as well as 6c and 14a may together support at least one of the handles such as handles 81a, 81b, 82a, and 82b.

In the illustrated example, the end supports 2 and 4 may each be a hollow cylinder, tube, sleeve, or other type of shape. The end supports 2 and 4 may be respectively configured to support weight lifting plates (not shown). Accordingly, each end support may be sized to receive one or more standard weight lifting plates, and may include bores for receiving pins for retaining such weight lifting plates on the corresponding end support.

The handle supports 6b, 12a, 6c, and 14a may include at least one of a straight shape, a curved shape, and other types of shape. In the illustrated example, the handle supports 6b, 12a, 6c, and 14a are straight.

In the illustrated example, the end support 2, the handle support 6b, and the handle support 12a may be connected by a first connection portion 6a. The connection portion 6a may be located between the end support 2 and each of the handle supports 6b and 12a. Similarly, the end support 4, the handle support 6c, and the handle support 14a may be connected by a second connection portion 6d. The connection portion 6d may be located between the end support 4 and each of the handle supports 6c and 14a. Further, a connection portion 10 may be provided to connect the handle supports 12a and 14a, and a connection portion 8 may be provided to connect the handle supports 10, 6b, and 6c. The connection portions 6a, 6d, 10, and 8 may include at least one of a straight shape, a curved shape, and other types of shape. In the illustrated example, the connection portions 6a, 6d, and 10 may be U-shaped, and the connection portion 8 may be straight.

The end supports 2 and 4, and the handle supports 6b, 6c, 12a, and 14a, the connection portions 6a, 6d, 8, and 10 may be integrated together as one unit as shown by FIGS. 1-2. Each of the end supports 2 and 4, and the handle supports 6b, 6c, 12a, and 14a, the connection portions 6a, 6d, 8, and 10 may be made of metal, such as a hard metal, or other type of material.

The handle supports 6b and 12a may be configured to removably support at least one of a plurality of handles that include handles 81a and 81b. The handles 81a and 81b may accommodate women and/or men, and may be made of rubber coated material, metal, some other material, or a combination thereof. The handles 81a and 81b may have different lengths. Accordingly, the first handle 81a has a first length and the second handle 81b has a second length longer than that of the first handle 81a. In one example, as shown in FIG. 3A, the handle 81a may be provided with two fixation points (e.g., bores) 811 and 812 at opposite ends of the length of the handle 81a. The fixation point 811 may be located at one end of the handle 81a, while the fixation point 812 may be located at the other end of the handle 81a. Similar to the handle 81a, the handle 81b may be provided with two fixation points (e.g., bores) at opposite ends of the length of the handle 81b (not shown).

Referring to FIG. 1, the handle support 6b may be provided with a recess 16. The recess 16 may be configured to removably support at least one of the plurality of handles that include handles 81a and 81b. In one example, a dimension of the recess 16 of the handle support 6b in the first direction X1 may be larger than a dimension of the recess 16 of the handle support 6b in a third direction Z1 different from the first direction X1 and the second direction Y1, thereby forming a slot. For example, the third direction Z1 may be perpendicular to the first and second directions X1 and Y1, or may be non-perpendicular to the first and second directions X1 and Y1 (e.g., an angle of the third direction Z1 to the first and second directions X1 and Y1 may be 30 degrees, 45 degrees, 80 degrees, 120 degrees, or other degrees). At a first side of the recess 16, as shown in FIG. 1, there are a plurality of fixation points 3, for example, including fixation point 3a. The fixation points 3 may be spaced apart from each other in the first direction X1. Each of the fixation points 3 may include a bore that passes through a part of the handle support 6b from the recess 16 to an outside of the handle support 6b. At a second side of the recess 16, as shown in FIG. 1, there are a plurality of fixation points 5, for example, including fixation point 5a. The second side of the recess 16 may be opposite the first side of the recess 16 in the third direction Z1, such that the combination of fixation points 3 and 5 may form bores passing completely through the handle support 6b in the third direction, each bore representing a discrete fixation point for a handle. The fixation points 5, similar to the fixation points 3, may therefore be spaced apart from each other in the first direction X1.

The handles 81a and 81b may be interchangeably or concurrently fixed to the handle support 6b by way of the fixation points. For example, a pin 85 (see FIG. 4) can be inserted through two corresponding aligned bores of the fixation points, such as through fixation points 3a and 5a which are aligned with each other, and through the bore of the fixation point 811 of one of the handles 81a and 81b. As shown in FIG. 4, the pin 85 may be fixed to the handle support 6b by a fixing member 89, such as a metal spring or other type of fixing member. When the pin is inserted into the bores of the fixation points 3a and 5a, so that it resides, at least partially in the bores of the fixation points 3a and 5a at the same time, the inserted pin 85 may be different from the length D1+D3+D3, shown in FIG. 1 of the bar 1.

Referring to FIG. 2, the handle support 12a may be provided with a recess 20 positioned opposite the recess 16 of handle support 6b. The recess 20 may be configured to removably support at least one of the plurality of handles that include handles 81a and 81b. The recess 20 and the recess 16 may face to each other. In one example, a dimension of the recess 20 of the handle support 12a in the first direction X1 may be larger than a dimension of the recess 20 of the handle support 12a in the third direction, thereby forming a slot. At a first side of the recess 20, as shown in FIG. 2, there are a plurality of fixation points 11, for example, including fixation point 11a. The fixation points 11 may be spaced apart from each other in the first direction X1. Each of the fixation points 11 may include a bore that passes through a part of the handle support 12a from the recess 20 to an outside of the handle support 12a. At a second side of the recess 20, as shown in FIG. 2, there are a plurality of fixation points 15, for example, including fixation point 15a. Accordingly, the fixation points 11 and 15 may be similar in form to the fixation points 3 and 5 of handle support 6b.

The handles 81a and 81b may be interchangeably or concurrently fixed to the handle support 12a by way of the fixation points. For example, a pin (which may be the same as or similar to the pin 85 discussed above) can be inserted through two corresponding aligned bores of the fixation points, such as through fixation points 11a and 15a which are aligned with each other, and through the bore of the fixation point 812 of one of the handles 81a and 81b. When the pin is inserted into the bores of the fixation points 11a and 15a, so that it resides, at least partially in the bores of the fixation points 11a and 15a at the same time, the inserted pin may be different from the length D1+D3+D3, shown in FIG. 2 of the bar 1.

When the recesses 16 and 20 removably support the handle 81a, the handle 81a may extend in the second direction Y1, and when the recesses 16 and 20 removably support the handle 81b, the handle 81b may extend in a direction different than the second direction Y1. In one example, the lengths of the handles 81a and 81b may be configured such that when the handle 81a is held by a first fixation point of the fixation points 3 of the handle support 6b, the handle 81a may connect to a first fixation point of the fixation points 11 of the handle support 12a directly opposite the first fixation point of handle support 6b, and when the handle 81b is held by the first fixation point of the fixation points 3 of the first handle support 6b, the handle 81b may connect to a second fixation point of the fixation points 11 of the handle support 12a offset from the first fixation point of handle support 6b.

Relationships between the handle supports 6b and 12a discussed above may be similar to relationships between the handle supports 6c and 14a. The handle supports 6c and 14a may be configured to removably support at least one plurality of handles that include handles 82a and 82b. The handles 82a and 82b may accommodate women and/or men, and may be made of rubber coated and metal. The handles 82a and 82b may have different lengths. A handle 82a of the handles 82 has a first length. The first length of the handle 82a may be the same as the first length of the handle 81a. A handle 82b of the handles 82 has a second length longer than the handle 82a. The second length of the handle 82b may be the same as the second length of the handle 81b. As shown in FIG. 3B, each handle 82 may be provided with two fixation points (e.g., bores) 821 and 822 at opposite ends of the length of the handle 82. The fixation point 821 may be located at one end of the handle 82, while the fixation point 822 may be located at the other end of the handle 82.

The structure of the opposing handle supports 6c and 14a is similar to the structure of the handle supports 6b and 12a, as stated above. Elements 6c, 18, 7, 7a, 9, and 9a may correspond to the elements 6b, 16, 3, 3a, 5, and 5a, respectively. Elements 14a, 22, 13, 13a, 17, and 17a may correspond to the elements 12a, 20, 11, 11a, 15, and 15a, respectively. Handles 82a and 82b may correspond to the handles 81a and 81b, respectively.

The fixation points 3a, 5a, 11a, and 15a, etc. of the handle supports are not limited to bores shown in FIGS. 1-2, but may include projections (not shown).

In one example, each of the end supports 2 and 4 may have a length D3, which may be, but is not limited to, about sixteen inches plus or minus one inch. The length of the combination of the handle supports 6b and 6c and the connection portions 6a and 6d may be about D1, which may be, but is not limited to, fifty-two inches.

Referring to FIG. 1, in at least one embodiment the connection portion 10 may provide a crescent curve (for clearance of the head/chin) in the center of the bar 100 for overhead pressing that makes an overhead press movement more efficient, safe, and advantageous to weight lifters.

In one example, the distance between the handle supports 6b and 12a and the distance between the handle supports 6c and 14b may be about D2, which may be, but is not limited to, between one hundred fifteen and one hundred sixty millimeters. The bar 100 may have a total length (equal to D3+D1+D3 shown in FIG. 1), which may be, but is not limited to, eighty-four inches plus or minus two inches. The weight of the unloaded bar 1 may be, but is not limited to, fifty pounds in at least one embodiment.

In one example, the distance D1 between the end supports 2 and 4 may be, but is not limited to, about fifty-two inches. Each of the end supports 2 and 4 may have a length D3, which may be, but is not limited to, sixteen inches plus or minus one inch. Each of the sleeves or cylinders 2 and 4 may have a sleeve outer diameter, which may be, but is not limited to, 49.75 millimeters. The width D5 of the head chin clearance or connection portion 10 may be, but is not limited to, eight inches, plus or minus two inches. The depth D6 of the head/chin clearance may be, but is not limited to, about 3.5 inches, plus or minus 0.5 inches.

In one example, the most narrow pin position in FIG. 1, i.e. the pin position corresponding the openings of fixation points 3 and 5 may be, but is not limited to, 8.5 inches from the connection portion 8 plus or minus two inches. The widest pin position, such as the pin position for openings 3a and 5a, may be, but is not limited to, forty-four inches, plus or minus two inches. The distance between adjacent pin positions, or adjacent openings of fixation points 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, and 17 may be, but is not limited to, one inch, plus or minus 0.5 inches. The rail diameter or diameter of each of portions 6a-6d, 12a-b, and 14a-b may be, but is not limited to, thirty millimeters. Dimensions of the elements of the bar are not limited to the dimensions described here, and may have other dimensions.

In the present embodiment, the recesses 16 and 20 may be configured to removably support at least one handle, for example, including the handles 81a and 81b, to easily be switched in and out and position to be adjusted effortlessly.
