Patent attributes
A barbell includes a rotational body including a bar, a sleeve assembly having a sleeve with a bore, where a portion of the bar is received through the axial bore, a proximal bushing received in the bore and having a passage receiving the bar, a distal bushing received in the bore and having a cavity receiving a portion of the body. The proximal bushing has a first outer surface engaging the sleeve and a first inner surface engaging the bar within the passage. The distal bushing has a second outer surface engaging the sleeve and a second inner surface engaging the portion of the body within the cavity. The proximal bushing and the distal bushing permit the sleeve assembly to rotate around the body, and at least one of the first inner and outer surfaces and at least one of the second inner and outer surfaces are polymer surfaces.
