Abstract:
1. An adjustable weight kettlebell, comprising: a stack of weights, including an upper weight, and a lower weight, wherein the upper weight is configured to occupy an aligned position on top of the lower weight; a weight lifting member configured to occupy an aligned position on top of the upper weight, wherein the weight lifting member includes (a) a handle; and (b) a housing secured beneath the handle and defining a first shelf that is selectively rotatable beneath a portion of the upper weight, and a second shelf that is selectively rotatable beneath a portion of the lower weight; and a latch movably mounted on the weight lifting member and selectively movable into and out of engagement with at least the upper weight; wherein when the weight lifting member occupies a first orientation relative to the weights, the weight lifting member is free to move upward relative to each said weight; and when the weight lifting member occupies a second orientation relative to the weights, the first shelf underlies the upper weight, and only the upper weight is constrained to move upward together with the weight lifting member; and when the weight lifting member occupies a third orientation relative to the weights, the second shelf underlies the lower weight, and each said weight is constrained to move upward together with the weight lifting member.
