Weight plate gap adjustment device for weight training equipment

Abstract

An weight plate gap adjustment device for weight training equipment includes a locking pin having a taper on the body thereof and being detachably coupled to a hole of one weight plate and a traction shaft of the training equipment, and an inserting member having a coupling portion that has a taper corresponding to the taper of the body of the locking pin. The inserting member is mounted in the hole of the weight plate so that when the locking pin is coupled to the hole of the weight plate, the body and the coupling portion are closely abutted with each other to eliminate the gap between the locking pin and the weight plate.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A weight plate gap adjustment device for use in a weight training equipment, said weight training equipment comprising at least one weight plate, each said weight plate having a hole penetrating a traction shaft, the weight plate gap adjustment device comprising:
 a locking pin comprising a body, said body having a taper, said locking pin being detachably coupled to said hole of one said weight plate and said traction shaft; and   at least one inserting member, each said inserting member comprising a coupling portion, said coupling portion having a taper corresponding to the taper of said body of said locking pin, each said inserting member being mounted in said hole of one respective said weight plate so that when said locking pin is coupled to said hole of one said weight plate, said body and said coupling portion are closely abutted with each other to eliminate the gap between said locking pin and the respective said weight plate.   
     
     
         2 . The weight plate gap adjustment device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said locking pin is provided with a magnetic member, the magnetic force of said magnetic member attracts said locking pin and the respective said weight plate. 
     
     
         3 . The weight plate gap adjustment device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said inserting member is in the shape of a sleeve; said coupling portion is located on the inner circumference of said inserting member.
