Patent ID: 11103739

Abstract:
An apparatus to hold and position dumbbells with adjustment through three dimensions (vertical, horizontal and forward and backward) so as to provide an elevated and precisely positioned starting and ending position for the dumbbells used in a dumbbell exercise. The apparatus may be configured as a stand-alone device, an attachment to another piece of equipment (such as a power rack or bench press) or integrated into another piece of exercise equipment such as a lying/incline/seated press apparatus. It enables adjustment of the dumbbell position by the user while the user is positioned for the exercise, as well as prior to assuming the positon for the exercise, to provide precise positioning as desired by each individual user. It features a channeling device which guides a user's hands, wrists and arms when returning the dumbbell to the holder.Additionally, a support apparatus to hold and position dumbbells for exercise featuring a channel structure which a user's hand, wrist or arm may contact to guide the return of the dumbbell to the support structure, and expanded surface areas on points of the apparatus which a user's body parts may contact which reduce the potential for concentrated contact between a user and the apparatus.
