The dumbbell system comprises a floating ring rack3, at least two towers plates10, a forearm rest body9, a grip handle11and at least a floating ring1. The towers are separate and attached to the forearm rest body9, a grip handle11and floating ring rack3. In accordance with the principles of the present disclosure the floating rings1,2are added or removed from the floating ring rack3by means of first end cap15, second end cap17and locking pins8. Further the dumbbell system comprises two types of floating rings: the sliding floating ring1and stationary floating ring2.

FIG. 1is directed to the floating ring rack3. The floating ring rack3is the pan that holds the weight or floating rings1,2. The stationary floating ring1, slides on top of friction pads5and between the separators4to add or remove weight of dumbbell system. The friction pads5are located between the separators4as shown inFIG. 1. The floating ring rack3comprises a hard rubber pad6and two tower plate position areas100, wherein each tower plate position area100are spaced apart by the separators4and friction pad5as shown inFIG. 2.

FIG. 3is directed to the tower plates10. The tower plates are the frames that hold the dumbbell system together. The tower plates10are coupled to the floating ring rack3, forearm rest9, handle11and inner cover. The hole on top of each plate is to accommodate handle11which will revolve in this hole. The rectangle opening is to accommodate floating ring rack3. Further, as shown inFIG. 4, the forearm rest9is welded along the edges and situated between tower plates10. The floating ring rack3distal ends are inserted through at both ends of the rectangular opening at each tower plate10. In the center of forearm rest9is an indentation for comfort and stability. Preferably the forearm rest9is made from a sheet of metal, folded in a particular shape, as shown inFIG. 5, and welded closed at the lower front bottom edge. It is then placed in between tower plates10and welded in place.

FIG. 6is directed to a perspective rear view of the dumbbell system before assembled. Clearly shows the floating ring rack3, forearm rest9including an indentation, handle11between the tower plates10. The forearm rest9has an indentation in the center so when you hold the handle grip11you forearm will fall there automatically and rest inside for comfort and stability as we perform the exercise that user want to do. While the user performed the exercise and holds the handle grip11said handle11is not stationary, it is preferred to be a revolving grip handle11. A revolving grip handle11makes sure that there will be no stress at the user's hand as he/she hold the handle. In the preferred embodiment the handle revolves inside the round hole at the tower plate10.

FIG. 7is directed to the sliding floating ring1, more particularly it uses to add or remove weight of the dumbbell system. The sliding floating ring1slides on top of floating ring rack3on top of a floating ring rack plate, wherein said sliding floating ring1comprises a locking pin8on top said sliding floating ring1, wherein said locking pin is configure to be positioned on top and through the edge of the floating ring rack plate, downwards and towards the rectangular opening located in the middle of the floating ring rack plate. This will be locked in place behind hard rubber pad6which is attached to floating ring rack3. To remove the weight, just pull up the pin and slide out the sliding floating ring1.

FIG. 8is directed to the stationary floating ring2which is positioned at the outer side of tower plates10and it is screwed in place at the outer side of floating ring rack3. There is a second hard rubber pad16that raises all the rings off the ground for clearance when sliding.

FIG. 9is directed to the outer rubber cover12for covering the outer surface of both tower plates10under the handle11. The outer rubber12comprises a section for the nameplate. Also each tower plate includes an inner cover14, as shown inFIG. 10. The inner cover14is located and fastened to each tower plate inner surface just under handle11and above the forearm rest9.

FIG. 11is directed to a front perspective exploded view comprising the handle grip11, forearm rest9with indentation, the floating ring rack3and the tower plates10. The two tower plates10, holds the whole mechanism together in place, as disclosed inFIG. 6and adding the inner cover14and outer cover12, to complete the unit. While getting the pieces together the portion of floating ring rack3protrudes outside of tower plates10and outer cover12. A name plate13is the emblems inserted inside the space provided by the outer cover12.

Further the stationary floating ring2is located at both sides of floating ring rack3. The stationary floating ring2are held in place by second end cap comprising screws, wherein said second end caps will be screwed on said floating ring rack3prevent the stationary floating ring2from coming off. The second hard rubber pad16of said stationary floating rings2raises the whole dumbbell system off the ground, giving clearance so sliding floating rings1can slide in and out.

The present disclosure provides at least five sliding floating rings1for the dumbbell system, and one or two on the outside of tower plates10depending if we use second end cap15or first end cap17. Second end cap15allow two stationary floating rings2on the outside of tower plates10because of its' reduce size. To separate this sliding floating ring1the preferred embodiment provide separators4which are ring separators, allows each sliding floating rings1to have its own separate spot, and will not be move all about. In the inner sides of floating ring rack3and forearm rest9is located a hard rubber backing pad6. This is to lessen the noise after sliding floating ring1is placed on top of floating ring rack3, wherein the locking pin8is pushed down to prevent sliding floating ring1from having a clanking noise. In addition, the floating ring rack3comprises five pads on the top surface of floating ring rack3these are friction pads5, as mentioned above. This allows sliding floating ring1to slide in and out and prevents metal-to-metal contact as they slide in and out smoothly.

FIG. 12is directed to the locking pin8, wherein said locking pin8as explained above, secures sliding floating ring1from sliding out while in use. In locking pin8there is a small adjustment pin18that screws into the main locking pin8. The adjustment pin18restricts the travel of locking pin8so not to be pulled out of the top of sliding floating ring1. There is a groove cut out in sliding floating ring1to accommodate the travel of the adjustment pin18.

FIG. 13andFIG. 14are directed to the end caps15,17. The first end cap17holds stationary floating rings2in place after assembling of the dumbbell system elements. These first end caps, allows only one floating ring on the outside of Item10. The second end cap15holds the outer floating ring in place. Instead of one floating ring, second end cap15allows two floating rings to be placed on the outside of tower plates10because of its narrow size.
