Abstract
A punching bag and suspension system is a boxing training device that is orientated horizontally, which permits the punching bag to move vertically, horizontally, diagonally, as well as a 360 degree range of motion. The punching bag has a plastic or metal cylindrical tube running through its core. The tube contains an opening on both sides extending to the outer circumference of the punching bag. These openings allow the tube, and therefore the punching bag, to slide along suspension member. At the center of the suspension member there is a weight that through gravitational pull, creates an orientation and return point for the punching bag.
Claims19
An apparatus comprising:
- a generally spherical punching bag including a tubular member diametrically disposed in the bag;
- and
- a suspension member including first and second ends, where each of the first and second ends include a connection mechanism for connecting the suspension member to a stationary object,
- wherein the punching bag is supported on the suspension member and is configured to horizontally travel along the suspension member.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least two spaced apart vertical supports;
- a suspension member including first and second ends, where each of the first and second ends include a connection mechanism for horizontally supporting the suspension member to the at least two spaced apart vertical supports;
- and
- a generally spherical punching bag including a tubular member diametrically disposed in the bag,
- wherein the punching bag is supported on the suspension member and is configured to horizontally travel along the suspension member and
- wherein the tubular member further comprises a recoil mechanism configured to return the punching bag to an original position along the suspension member after movement.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least two spaced apart vertical supports;
- a suspension member including first and second ends, where each of the first and second ends include a connection mechanism for horizontally supporting the suspension member to the at least two spaced apart vertical supports;
- and
- a generally spherical punching bag including a tubular member diametrically disposed in the bag,
- wherein the punching bag is supported on the suspension member and is configured to horizontally travel along the suspension member and
- wherein the suspension member includes a weight centrally disposed along the length thereof, wherein the weight creates a point that is closer to the ground than any other area on the suspension member directing the punching bag to the center of the suspension member.
