Abstract
A structurally unified free standing bag joined by its exterior skin to effectively absorb impact energy. impact energies may be dampened before reaching the bag's center. Therefore, this invention produces a durable and efficiently manufactured product by minimizing the use of expensive structural materials while still improving quality, durability, and product performance.
Claims16
A punching bag comprising:
- a foam top with a top, a bottom, and at least one side;
- a base with a rim and a channel below the rim, where the channel has a diameter smaller than a diameter of the rim;
- a cover, where the foam top attaches to the base via the cover;
- and
- a clamp assembly attached to the cover, where the clamp assembly has an open position and a closed position, where the clamp assembly has a diameter greater than the diameter of the rim when in the open position and smaller than the diameter of the rim when in the closed position, and where the clamp assembly is capable of being placed in the channel and secured in the closed position to attach the foam top to the base.

A method of constructing a punching bag, the method comprising:
- placing a foam top within a cover, where the foam top has a top, a bottom, and at least one side, where the cover covers the top and side of the foam top and where the cover has a lower end that extends beyond the bottom of the foam top and a clamp assembly with an adjustable circumference attached to the lower end of the cover;
- placing the foam top atop a base such that the bottom of the foam top abuts a top of the base;
- lowering the clamp assembly over a rim projecting radially from the base and into a channel in the base located below the rim, where the channel has a smaller circumference than a circumference of the rim;
- reducing the circumference of the clamp assembly such that it is smaller than the circumference of the rim;
- and
- locking the clamp assembly such that the circumference of the clamp assembly is fixed.
