ABSTRACT:
A user friendly dumbbell that is comfortable, safe and durable, and which also protects against damage to surfaces against which the dumbbell may come into contact is disclosed. The dumbbell is typically provided with an elongated shaft and enlarged members attached to opposite free ends of the elongated shaft. Surrounding protective and durable coverings are provided for the elongated shaft and enlarged members that is both user friendly during use, while also protecting supporting and other surfaces against damage when the dumbbell is not in use. The protective and durable covering along the elongated shaft includes a resilient and compressible element having at least one porous high density foam rubber covering. The protective covering on the enlarged members may include sculptured resilient and compressible bodies with a through passageway for receiving one of the opposite ends of the elongated shaft, or where the enlarged members comprise a weight attached to the elongated shaft, the protective covering is a coarse grain material that conforms in shape to the weights and is generally similar in exterior appearance to the porous high density foam rubber covering. For certain uses, an adjustable strap is utilized to enable the dumbbell to be gripped and conveniently held on the hand during use. The adjustable strap includes spaced adjustable straps which are constructed to overlap one another and include fastening means in order to be secured in an adjustable fitted relationship to a user's hands when gripping the elongated shaft.
