Abstract
An articulated coordination punching bag includes: a flexible central core; a first target enclosing a first potion of the central core; and a second target enclosing a second potion of the central core. The first and second targets may move independently of each other.
Claims17
A device comprising:
- a flexible central core;
- a first, generally cylindrical foam target enclosing a first portion of the central core;
- a second, generally cylindrical foam target enclosing a second portion of the central core, there being a difference in weight between the first target and the second target;
- a third portion of the central core, between the first and second targets, that provides an articulation between the targets;
- and
- one or more weights included in at least one of the targets so that the first target has a different number of weights than the second target;
- wherein, when the device is struck, the second target moves relative to the first target in a generally nonlinear manner and the difference in weight causes the device to move unpredictably.
4 more elements
A device comprising:
- a flexible central core made of wire cable or rope;
- and
- a plurality of targets, each target enclosing a separate portion of the central core, each target including a generally cylinder-shaped foam portion, there being a difference in weight between at least two of the targets and an articulation in the core between the two targets;
- wherein the targets are adapted to accept additional weights so that a user of the device cannot visually determine the relative weight of the targets, and when an end of the core is hung and the device is at rest, the targets hang on the core in a line so that the device is generally cylindrical, and when the device is struck, the targets move in a generally nonlinear and unpredictable manner.
1 more element
A device comprising:
- a flexible central core, having a top end adapted to be hung and a bottom end opposite the first end;
- a first, generally cylindrical foam target enclosing a first portion of the core;
- a second generally cylindrical foam target enclosing a second portion of the core, the first and second portions in a line so that the device is generally cylindrical;
- an articulation on the core between the first and second targets;
- and
- at least one weight enclosed within one of the targets,
- wherein, when the device is struck, the weight causes the device to move unpredictably.
