The pins in the arrays are movable into their extended positions by a single vertically movable member carried on a vertically rotatable shaft in the handle end or by a plurality of independently movable members in the handle end that are moved by a plurality of keys carried on a top side of the handle end.
A selectorized dumbbell has nested stacks of left and right weight plates, a handle that can be disposed between the two stacks of weight plates, and a selector that couples selected numbers of the left and right weight plates to left and right planar ends of the handle. The handle has at least one loop type hand grip located above the ends of the handle and above the weight plates to allow the dumbbell to be used as a kettlebell. This loop type hand grip can be replaced with a bar type hand grip if the dumbbell is to be used like a standard dumbbell, or the handle can be provided in kettlebell or standard versions thereof. Alternatively, the loop type hand grip can be movably disposed on the handle for movement between operative and non-operative positions.
A selectorized dumbbell has a handle that can be inserted into a gap between stacks of nested left and right weight plates. A selector determines how many left weight plates are coupled to the left end of the handle and how many right weight plates are coupled to the right end of the handle. Each weight plate is held between a pair of flexible arms on a forked carrier. The arms allow the weight plates to deflect out of a normal, substantially upright, orientation if an impact shock is delivered to the dumbbell. The arms are restored to their normal orientation once the impact shock dissipates. Alternatively, the weight plates may comprise a metallic inner weight plate covered with an elastomer encasement and with an integral elastomer lug attaching the weight plates to at least one interconnecting member. The selector may comprise a connecting pin with at least one flexible shock absorbing prong.

Weight selection and adjustment system for selectorized dumbbells including motorized selector positioning
A weight selection and adjustment system for a selectorized dumbbell comprises a stand that holds a pair of selectorized dumbbells. The stand has an electric motor that is selectively energized by a controller for substantially simultaneously adjusting the weight of both dumbbells. The controller is responsive to a weight selection made by a user through a data entry device. The system can also be used with a single dumbbell placed on the stand. Alternatively, the electric motor can be mounted on the handle of a selectorized dumbbell to allow weight adjustment operations to be made without placing the selectorized dumbbell on a stand. In this embodiment, the data entry device and controller can also be carried on the handle of each selectorized dumbbell.
A selectorized dumbbell has a handle that can be inserted into a gap between stacks of nested left and right weight plates that are provided in a plurality of nested weights. A selector determines how many left weight plates are coupled to the left end of the handle and how many right weight plates are coupled to the right end of the handle. A single left weight plate and a single right weight plate are interconnected together by an interconnection member of some type to form a single weight. The interconnection members of the different weights overlie one another and are provided with two arrays of a plurality of unique sets of holes and slots. A first connecting pin is inserted through the handle and through a selected set of holes and slots in the first array. A second connecting pin is inserted through the handle and through a selected set of holes and slots in the second array. The two pins together symmetrically couple the desired number of weights to the handle in a balanced fashion.

The arms allow the weight plates to deflect out of a normal, substantially upright, orientation if an impact shock is delivered to the dumbbell. The arms are restored to their normal orientation once the impact shock dissipates. This allows the impact shock to be absorbed without damaging the dumbbell or while minimizing damage to the dumbbell.
A selector of a selectorized dumbbell comprises a keyboard having a plurality of keys that can be depressed into a weight selecting position. In this weight selecting position, a cam actuator on each key forces a pair of connecting pins apart to couple a particular weight to the handle. Preferably, to minimize the risk of accidental weight detachment from the handle, a pair of keys and two pairs of connecting pins couple each weight to the handle in a redundant fashion. The pins in each pair slide apart from one another to couple a weight to the handle and slide towards one another to uncouple a weight from the handle with the sliding motion of the pins being perpendicular to the axis of a hand grip of the handle.
