Weight sensing base for an adjustable dumbbell system
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An adjustable dumbbell system, comprising:
- an adjustable dumbbell including;
a handle assembly; and
a plurality of weight plates, the plurality of weight plates and the handle assembly configured such that each of the plurality of weight plates can be selectively coupled to and decoupled from the handle assembly; and
a base configured to support each of the plurality of weight plates, the base including a sensing mechanism comprising one or more load cells that sense a total aggregate weight of the plurality of weight plates that are supported on the base.

Abstract
In various implementations, an adjustable dumbbell system may include a handle assembly, two or more weight plates, and a base. The weight plates and the handle assembly may be configured such that each weight plate can be selectively coupled to and decoupled from the handle assembly. The base may be configured to support each of the weight plates. The base may include a sensing mechanism that senses a characteristic of the weight plates where the characteristic depends upon which of the weight plates are supported by the base.
