MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511115501 A) filed by Nims University, Jaipur, Rajasthan, on Nov. 22, 2025, for 'dumbbell storage and retrieval system.'
Inventor(s) include Pradeep Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention provides an intelligent dumbbell storage and retrieval system (100) designed to streamline organization, access, and return of dumbbells in fitness environments such as gyms, rehabilitation centers, and home workout areas. The system comprises a main frame (101) supporting a rotating carrier mechanism (102) with multiple dumbbells receiving slots (103), each equipped with sensors (104) to detect presence or absence of dumbbells. A control unit (105) processes sensor data to determine slot availability and actuates a drive mechanism (106) to rotate the carrier accordingly. A user interface (109) provides real-time visual feedback and return guidance, while safety mechanisms (108) ensure secure operation. The method includes detecting dumbbell removal, calculating optimal return paths, and verifying reinserted weights. The system enhances safety, optimizes space, and improves user experience through automated, intelligent handling of free weights."
