Abstract
Abstract Variable weight jump or skip rope handles which have a handle grip member which is rotatably mounted on, and is axially aligned with, a centrally extending end-connect bar with end weight members of variable weight designation removably mounted on the ends of the end-connect bar adjacent to the ends of the grip member. A swivel connector is mounted on one of each pair of end weight members for attachment of each handle assembly to an end of a skip or jump rope.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
A jump rope exercise system including two like variable-weight handle assemblies interconnected by a jump rope with each variable-weight handle assembly comprised of: a handle grip member; an end-connect bar of uniformly circular cross-section rotatably mounted and axially aligned within said handle grip member, said end-connect bar having end portions extending from the ends of said grip member; and handle assembly end weight members of like selective weight, said end members being removably mounted to the end portions of said end-connect bar for uniform end-to-end weighting thereof and for maintaining said grip member thereon, one of said end members including swivel means for connection of the variable-weight handle assembly to an end of the jump rope.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
116 words
A jump rope exercise system including two like variable-weight handle assemblies interconnected by a jump rope with each variable-weight handle assembly comprised of: a handle grip member; an end-connect bar of uniformly circular cross-section rotatably mounted and axially aligned within said handle grip member, said end-connect bar having end portions extending from the ends of said grip member; and handle assembly end weight members of like selective weight, said end members being removably mounted to the end portions of said end-connect bar for uniform end-to-end weighting thereof and for maintaining said grip member thereon, one of said end members including swivel means for connection of the variable-weight handle assembly to an end of the jump rope.
