In describing the invention in'detaih reference is herein. had-to drawings, in 'which'- Figurel is a perspective viewof the in-. vention, illustrating the use thereof; 7 Figure 2 is anenlargedperspective :view of the invention; and. 1 i Figure?) is a view of-thesame partlyin side elevation and partly in longitudinal section; i
thaaccompanying The invention comprises a one-piece strucof dumb-bell, consisting of a substantially parallel to such *fioorJf V a Said heads '2, which are of corresponding adapting the devicefor firmly seating fiat-'- W1se upon a fioor, as shown inFig. 3,'in
ture, preferably of flwood, which; .approximates in formacolnmon, or ordinary, form f cylindricalhandlell having an integral en: largement or head f 2, at each end thereof, said heads beingdesigned for restingfirmly 'upon a floor, while thehandle is disposed "shape, are each made polygonalin form, 4 I V c being herein'shown as having four main fiat 'sides'or faces 2 of substantially' equal area,
any one of'four positions. The right-angle 1 corners intermediate said faces are-preferably removed, forming the relatively "small flat faces 2 ,'as shown, the purpose beingpartially to. eliminate a possible source of in- 1 I jury tothe user in casetheiwrists' of the latter should be-swu'ng violently. i'nto a n inclined position crossing su'cha corneiy While the support, as above described,
{will ordinarily-fremain firmly seatedjasplaced upon the ffloor, it ispreferred that it the heads 2 have associated therewith floor-1 f}, contacting means by which the tendency ofthe supportjto slip or slide when in use is Z- resisted. -.As herein shown, saidmeanscon?- sists of aband or ring 3 ofresilient rubber, I f V round in cross-section, which annularly em-g braces, eachof the heads 2, an annular ch'an-rrnel or groove A for the ,r'eception-ofa portion of the thickness of said vided in each'of said heads;
' Each'lhead 2 has, its inner annulai'edge, v I
designated 5 in Fi 3, rounded or curved,
asshownin said gure, to obviate'injury which might otherwise result through for fromviolent contactof the wrist of'the user with such edge.
