Abstract:
1. An adjustable weight exercise apparatus, comprising: a movable base member having a first end, an opposite, second end, and an intermediate member extending therebetween; a first weight plate disposed adjacent the first end of the base member; a second weight plate disposed adjacent the second end of the base member; a rigid weight selector movably mounted within the intermediate member; and a user operated member rotatably mounted on the base member and operatively connected to the weight selector, wherein a portion of the weight selector moves into an opening in the first weight plate in response to rotation of the user operated member in a first direction, thereby constraining the first weight plate to move together with the base member, and said portion of the weight selector moves out of the opening in the first weight plate in response to rotation of the user operated member in an opposite, second direction, thereby freeing the base member for movement away from the first weight plate.
