Definitions
- This invention relates to a weight plate for use with body building equipment, in general, and, more particularly, to a weight plate having a cartridge therein which includes an external toggle lever which actuates an internal mechanical pin to conveniently, safely and simply engage a connection union mounted in or adjacent weight plates.
- Body building equipment also referred to as physical fitness equipment or exercise apparatus
- Many ingenious resistance developing systems or machines have been developed utilizing, for example, systems which incorporate a selectable weight stack.
- the known equipment allows a user to, within the module, increase weight as the available resistance is incrementally selectable.
- a weight stack includes a plurality of rectangular weight plates, typically about one inch thick and about 10 inches long by 4 inches wide.
- Each conventional plate incorporates four bore holes therein. Three throughbores pass vertically through the thickness of the plate from the top surface to the bottom surface. The fourth bore hole passes horizontally within the width of the plate (between the top and bottom
- Two throughbores engage or receive a pair of spaced-apart guide rods and cause the plate to track vertically thereon.
- the middle throughbore accommodates a center post.
- the typical center post has multiple diametric throughbores to receive a selector pin which passes through the fourth throughbore.
- each plate may be independently selected by way of manually inserting a selector pin which is, typically, slightly longer than the width of a plate and has a knob of sorts on one end so that a user may better manipulate the selector pin.
- the pin is inserted through the fourth throughbore in the plate and a throughbore in the center post to lock the weight plate to the center post for selectively moving that weight plate vertically either up or down, as well as any weight plate supported thereon.
- the removable pin also permits the user to easily modify the operation of the apparatus outside the manufacturer's design criteria for the plates and/or weight stack.
- latch levers are rotated at one of the surfaces of the weight plate to selectively engage a notch or groove formed in the center post or hanger bar as described in U.S. Patent No. 5,306,221 to ftaru. These devices are subject to slippage of the levers unless an extremely complicated system of levers is utilized and precisely locked in position.
- weight plates included sliding plates, described in U.S. Patent No. 772,906 to Reach, which are cams formed in the weight plates to effectively engage lugs on an adjacent weight plate.
- the weight plate of the present invention satisfies this need.
- the weight plate of the present invention includes a convenient, integrally assembled cartridge with an exterior lever for enabling an internal pin to engage or disengage a connecting union which is attached to the plate.
- a weight plate for physical fitness equipment including a plate body with a central throughbore for connection and at least one, preferably two, throughbores which pass vertically therethrough for receiving guide rods or the like.
- the plate body additionally has an internal cavity which includes a horizontal bore disposed intermediate the opposing surfaces of the plate body. Typically, the horizontal bore intersects the central vertical throughbore.
- a selector pin is movably mounted within the cartridge and passes through the internal bore to selectively engage the plate body to a union or connector which is mounted is the central throughbore of the weight plate.
- a toggle lever is mounted in the cartridge to selectively position the selector pin within the internal bore.
- the union (or connector) is adapted to fit snugly within the central throughbore and includes a radial or diametric opening therethrough to selectively engage the selector pin from the cartridge.
- the connector comprises a generally stepped conical or cylindrical-pyramidal shape with an end latching eye at one end thereof and an open center thereof to receive the end latching portion of a similar connector therein such that a selection pin engages the union connector body in the weight plate as well as the latching eye of the union in an adjacent weight plate.
