Abstract:
1. A dumbbell with a base assembly, comprising the base assembly, a plurality of weight discs adapted to stand upright in the base assembly, the dumbbell, the dumbbell comprising a handle having opposing ends, wherein, at each end of the handle, a selectable number of the weight disks standing upright in the base assembly are securable to the handle, the weight disks having through-going openings which are disposed in alignment with one another when the weight disks stand in the base assembly, and the weight disks have mutually cooperating connecting means which, in an axial direction of the dumbbell, interconnect neighboring weight disks so that neighboring weight disks are not axially displaceable relative to each other, but in a radial direction permit separation of one weight disk from a neighboring weight disk, wherein the weight disks have a closed peripheral edge entirely surrounding the through-going openings, and the handle having pin members projectable in opposing axial directions and insertable into the through-going openings in the weight disks, wherein, by selection of axial projection lengths of the pin members, a number of weight disks on the dumbbell is selectable from zero up to a desired number of weight disks, wherein the handle has, in the opposing ends, handle connecting means for cooperation with the connecting, means on the mutually most proximally located weight disks in the base assembly, a space between the handle connecting means is clear of structure except for the handle, and the through-going openings are centrally located on the weight disks, and wherein the handle has a diameter that is less than a diameter of any weight disc of the plurality of weight discs.
