Abstract
A hand weight comprises a handle; and a plurality of finger sleeves operably attached to the handle, each finger sleeve being designated for a specific finger of a user to support the hand weight from the user's fingers.
Description
- The present invention relates generally to hand weights and particularly to a hand weight that includes finger sleeves for supporting the hand weight at least by the proximal phalanges so that anatomical resisted movements may be performed, in addition to wrist and finger extensions.
- Hand weights, such as dumbbells, are designed to be grabbed by the handle while performing strength training. If a therapist desires to use the dumbbells for other exercises requiring a looser grip on the handle, such as for anatomical resisted movements or for wrist or finger extensions, the hand weights would not be suitable for the purpose.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide hand weights, such as dumbbells, with individual finger sleeves to support the dumbbells at least by the proximal phalanges, so that anatomical resisted movements or finger and wrist extensions may be performed.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide hand weights with individual finger sleeves that adjust to the size of the user's fingers and support the hand weights at least from the user's proximal phalanges to allow a looser grip on the hand weights while performing certain exercises.
- In summary, the present invention provides a hand weight, comprising a handle; and a plurality of finger sleeves operably attached to the handle, each finger sleeve being designated for a specific finger of a user to support the hand weight from the user's fingers.
- These and other objects of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a hand weight incorporating a plurality of finger sleeves made in accordance with the present invention. -
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along lines 2-2 ofFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a hand weight incorporating a plurality of finger sleeves made in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 4-4 ofFIG. 3 . -
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 6-6 ofFIG. 4 , showing the attachment of the handle sleeve to the hand weight. -
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the hand weight ofFIG. 3 , shown with the user's proximal and middle phalanges supporting the hand weight. - A
hand weight 2 made in accordance with the present invention is disclosed inFIGS. 1 and 2 . Thehand weight 2 comprises ahandle 4 andweights 6 attached to the opposite ends of thehandle 4. Thehandle 4 may includethreads 8 at its ends for removably securing theweights 6 to allow other weights to be attached to thehandle 4. - A plurality of
finger sleeves 10 are operably attached to thehandle 4, such as by means of ahandle sleeve 12 wrapped around thehandle 4. Thefinger sleeves 10 are preferably designated for the user's index, middle, ring and little fingers, respectively. Thefinger sleeves 10 provide the means for helping to support thehand weight 2 from the user's fingers with a looser grip so that the hand weight may rest at the proximal interphalangeal joint, the distal interphalangeal joint or the metacarpolphalangeal joint. Thefinger sleeves 10 are oriented transversely to thehandle 4. Thehandle sleeve 12 has a plurality ofslots 14 through which the finger sleeves are looped. A person skilled in the art should understand that there are other means for securing thefinger sleeves 10 to thehandle sleeve 12, such as by stitching the finger sleeves onto the handle sleeve. - The finger sleeves 10 and the
handle sleeve 12 may be made of nylon or other fabrics. - The
hand weight 2 is shown as a dumbbell, but it should be understood that the present invention can be used with other types of hand weights that would require support from the user's proximal phalanges to allow the user to perform anatomical resisted motions. - Referring to
FIGS. 3 and 4 , another embodiment of the present invention is disclosed. Ahand weight 16 comprises ahandle 18 andweights 20 permanently attached to the opposite ends of thehandle 18. Ahandle sleeve 22 is removably wrapped around thehandle 18 and secured thereto by means of a hook andloop fastener 23 disposed at respective overlapping surfaces atopposite ends 24, as generally shown inFIG. 5 . A plurality ofvertical walls 26 extend through a plurality ofslots 28 in thehandle sleeve 22. The vertical walls are preferably arranged in two rows. Astrap 30 is disposed over each row to enclose thevertical walls 26 and define a plurality of finger sleeves 32. Thevertical walls 26 and thestrap 30 are preferably made from nylon or other fabrics with hook-and-loop fasteners (VELCRO) such that thevertical walls 26 are folded over the user's fingers as thestrap 30 is pressed down on eachvertical wall 26 and be removably attached to the last vertical wall. Note that the top portion of eachvertical wall 26 becomes removably attached to the underside of therespective strap 30, advantageously making each finger sleeve 32 structurally sound while conforming to the user's finger size. Thestrap 30 is advantageously adjustably secured to the lastvertical wall 26 so as to lengthen or shorten its effective length as it lays over the user's fingers, thereby to increase or reduce the size of the finger loops 32. - The finger sleeves 32 provide the means for simultaneously supporting the
hand weight 16 from the user's proximal and middle phalanges. Thehandle sleeve 22 provides the means for attaching the finger sleeves 32 to thehandle 18. - The
vertical walls 26 and thestraps 30 may be made from one single piece. The vertical walls are doubled up, attached to each other at theirrespective base portions 34, and threaded through therespective slots 28, leavingportions 36 between the vertical walls lying under thehandle sleeve 22 between theslots 28. - The
hand weight 16 shown inFIGS. 3-5 preferably includes finger sleeves 32 for the index, middle and ring fingers. A finger sleeve for the little finger may also be included. The two rows of finger sleeves 32 are disposed apart from each other so as to be positioned over the proximal and middle phalanges of the user's fingers when the user's fingers are inserted into the finger sleeves, as best shown inFIG. 6 . With the use of the finger sleeves, the hand weights are advantageously supported from the proximal and middle phalanges, allowing the user to hold the hand weights relatively easier and with a looser grip. This advantageously allows the user to safely incorporate wrist and finger extensions and other exercises with resisted movements that require a looser grip on the hand weights, as generally shown inFIG. 6 . - The present invention is designed to aid in the grip of the user who is performing anatomical resisted movements.
- While this invention has been described as having preferred design, it is understood that it is capable of further modification, uses and/or adaptations following in general the principle of the invention and including such departures from the present disclosure as come within known or customary practice in the art to which the invention pertains, and as may be applied to the essential features set forth, and fall within the scope of the invention or the limits of the appended claims.
