- Referring now to the figures, in which like numerals indicate like parts, and particularly to
FIG. 1 , disclosed is a punchingbag 10 which has: - a) a
body 12; - b) a pair of
arms 14; and - c) a support mechanism 16.
- The pair of
arms 14 extend from thebody 12. The support mechanism 16 is for suspending thebody 12 from anelevation 18. This structure allows the punchingbag 10 to act as a representation of a human being. Further to this, the pair ofarms 14 each have a bend 20 (Illustrated inFIG. 2 ). Thebend 20 of the pair ofarms 14 allows them to extend forward in respect to thebody 12. - As further seen in
FIG. 1 , the pair ofarms 14 each have adistal end 22. Thedistal end 22 is the end opposite thelocation 24 where thearms 14 extend from thebody 12. Apad 26 is located at each the distal ends 22 of thearms 14. Thepads 26 located at the distal ends 22 of thearms 14 have aflat surface 28. Theflat surface 28 is for being targeted by a user for a punch. This allows the punchingbag 10 to act in a manner as both a traditional heavy bag as well as akin to the hand-held targets which might be utilized by a trainer. To further facilitate same, thepads 26 located at the distal ends 22 of thearms 14 are rotatably attached to thearms 14, so that theflat surface 28 may be oriented in multiple directions. - The support mechanism 16 is best illustrated in
FIGS. 3 and 4 , which show the punchingbag 10 broken away to illustrate the support mechanism 16. To facilitate suspension from anelevation 18 the support mechanism 16 has acable 30 and arod 32. Thecable 30 is for being suspended from an elevation. Thecable 30 connects to therod 32. Therod 32 is for supporting thebody 12. By this configuration then thebody 12 is suspended from theelevation 18 flexibly due to the inherently flexible nature of cables, allowing thebody 12 to swing in response to a punch. - The support mechanism 16 further includes a pair of arm supports 34. The pair of arm supports 34 extend from the
rod 32 of the support mechanism 16 through thearms 14 of the punchingbag 10. The arm supports 34bend 36 in a corresponding shape to thebend 20 of thearms 14. This structure allows thearms 14 to be substantially rigid in response to punches by a user. - Still further, the support mechanism 16 includes:
- a) a
base 38; and - b) at least one
stabilization bar 40. - The
base 38 is for resting on afloor 42. The at least onestabilization bar 40 extends from the base 38 into thebody 12. Therod 32 of the support mechanism 16 is fixedly attached to thebody 12 of the punchingbag 10. The at least onestabilization bar 40 of the support mechanism 16 is movably attached to therod 32 of the support mechanism 16. This configuration allows for the base 38 to prevent excessive swinging of the punchingbag 10 while still allowing some dynamic reaction of the bag in order to prevent injury and more accurately simulate the reaction of a human body to a punch. - To accomplish same, the support mechanism 16 further has at least one
ring 44. The least onestabilization bar 40 of the support mechanism 16 is movably attached to therod 32 of the support mechanism 16 by being encompassed by the at least onering 44. The at least onering 44 is fixedly attached to therod 32 of the support mechanism 16. This structure allows that therod 32 can move within the diameter of thering 44, but cannot move further, thereby accomplishing the aforementioned goal of preventing excessive swinging while still having dynamic reaction. - In the preferred construction, the at least one
ring 44 constitutes at least tworings 44 perstabilization bar 40 of the support mechanism 16. This structure allows that the punchingbag 10 can have a limited amount of movement in response to a punch off of its center of mass, but will not swing wildly in response to such a punch. - For similar reasons, in the preferred construction the at least one
stabilization bar 40 of the support mechanism 16 constitutes at least twostabilization bars 40 of the support mechanism 16. The at least twostabilization bars 40 of the support mechanism 16 are oriented on opposite sides from each other in respect of therod 32 of the support mechanism 16. This allows that punches from the side of the punchingbag 10, which thepunching bag 10 is specifically designed to allow, will not overly destabilize thepunching bag 10. - There are additional features which cooperate with the support mechanism 16 to provide additional training aid. In the preferred construction the punching bag further has a
head 46. The head is disposed above the body. This provides an additional target for a user. - The
cable 30 of the support mechanism 16 traverses through thehead 46 to reach therod 32. To facilitate this, thehead 46 further contains agrommet 48. This allows that thecable 30 traverses through thegrommet 48 of thehead 46 to reach therod 32. This structure allows blows to thehead 46 to be constrained by the cable's 30 impacting thegrommet 48. - To further aid training, the punching
bag 10 further has abelly component 50. Thebelly component 50 protrudes from thebody 12 of the punchingbag 10. In the preferred construction, thebelly component 50 is disposed substantially equidistant from each of the pair ofarms 14. Thebelly component 50 is also disposed below both of the pair ofarms 14. This is to more accurately simulate a human body. - Additionally, the punching
bag 10 further has a pair ofkidney components 52. The pair ofkidney components 52 extend laterally out of opposite sides of thebody 12. Each of thekidney components 52 are located substantially below thelocation 24 where each of thearms 14 extend from thebody 12. - Further to the structure of the
belly component 50 andkidney components 52, thebody 12 has a fill material. Thebelly component 50 has a fill material. The fill material of thebody 12 is more rigid than the fill material of thebelly component 50. Likewise, thekidney components 52 have a fill material. The fill material of thebody 12 is more rigid than the fill material of thekidney components 52. This structure permits a user to have a differential reaction depending where on thebody 12 they punch, which aids in training and more accurately simulates a human body. - It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together, may also find a useful application in other types of constructions differing from the types described above.
- While the invention has been illustrated and described as embodiments of a PUNCHING BAG, accordingly it is not limited to the details shown, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention.
- Without further analysis, the foregoing will so fully reveal the gist of the present invention that others can, by applying current knowledge, readily adapt it for various applications without omitting features that, from the standpoint of prior art, fairly constitute characteristics of the generic or specific aspects of this invention.
