Abstract: An exercise device includes a carrier having an opening formed between two arms for receiving a neck portion of a user and for attaching onto an upper portion of the user, and having a curved bottom surface for suitably attaching onto the upper portion of the user, and a handle device provided on the carrier for being grasped by the user, to stably hold the carrier on the user. One or more weight members may be adjustably attached to the carrier for applying different weights onto the user. An anchoring or securing device may anchor or secure the weight members to the carrier for preventing the weight members from moving relative to the carrier.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001]1. Field of the Invention

[0002]The present invention relates to an exercise or weight device, and more particularly to an exercise or weight device adjustable to different weights for selectively attaching onto the upper or the chest portion or the shoulders of the users and for applying a suitable weight or resistance onto the users during exercise routines.

[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art

[0004]Typical exercise devices, such as weight lifting devices, dumbbells, or the like, normally comprise a handle for being grasped or held by the users, and for being used to train their upper muscles groups. However, the typical weight lifting devices or dumbbells may not be attached onto the users, such as the upper portions of the users, to apply weight to the users.

[0005]For some long distance runners, for example, they may prepare one or more sand bags by themselves, and carry the sand bags onto the upper portions of their bodies, to increase the weight or the burden to their upper portions, and to train or to increase their endurance or physical strength.

[0006]However, the typical sand bags that are prepared by the users themselves have no handles or hand grips provided thereon, and thus may not be easily carried or grasped or held by the users, and such that may not be easily used for exercising purposes or for muscle training purposes.

[0007]U.S. Pat. No. 5,299,999 to Brine discloses one of the typical weight packs for exercising and including two hooks for attaching onto the back portion of the users. However, the hooks should be made of strong or right or hard materials such that the users may not feel comfortable while exercising when wearing or using the typical weight packs.

[0008]U.S. Patent Application No. U.S. 2004/0072660 A1 to Mercuri et al. discloses a typical weighted collar including a pair of handles extended from a front surface for grasping by a user and for placing the collar on and lifting the collar from the shoulders of the users. However, the typical weighted collar may not be easily adjusted to different weights.

[0009]The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages of the conventional lifting exercise devices.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0010]The primary objective of the present invention is to provide an exercise or weight device for selectively attaching onto the upper or the chest portion or the shoulders of the users and for applying a suitable weight or resistance onto the users during exercise routines.

[0011]The other objective of the present invention is to provide an exercise or weight device adjustable to different weights for fitting onto various users of different strengths.

[0012]In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided an

[0013]Further objectives and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a careful reading of the detailed description provided hereinbelow, with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
