Abstract

A support for a martial arts and punching bag which has a base supported on legs. A mast is vertically adjustable with respect to a tube extending from the base. A horizontal arm extends from the mast and terminates at a coupling. A generally C-shaped bag suspension frame is adjustable with respect to the coupling so the height and angular position of the bag may be varied.

In other embodiments, the suspension frame is attached to a carrier which is vertically adjustable by a ratchet mechanism. Shock absorbing and bag tensioning means may also be provided. The punching bag may be cylindrical or other shapes depending on the requirements of the user.

Claims

1. A sport training device comprising:

(a) base member;

(b) a support attached to and upwardly extending from the base member;

(c) a height adjustment member engaging the support and being vertically adjustable with respect to the support;

(d) an arm extending from said height adjustment member and terminating at a connector, one of said connector and said arm being rotatably adjustable about a generally horizontal axis;

(c) a substantially C-shaped suspension frame member having opposite ends and defining a bag suspension area therebetween, said frame member being attached to said connector to thereby allow said frame member to be vertically and angularly adjusted with respect to said connector; and

(f) a punching bag having attachment means for suspending said punching bag from said suspension frame, at one end and anchoring said bag at the other end, in said bag-suspension area whereby the height and angular position of said punching bag may be selectively adjusted, along with said frame.

2. The sport training device of claim 1 wherein said bag is generally circular.

3. The sport training device of claim 1 wherein said bag is a generally elongate cylindrical bag having a resilient exterior defining a hollow interior.

4. The sport training device of claim 1 wherein said base comprises a plurality of outwardly extending legs.

5. The sport training device of claim 4 further including caster means associated with said legs.

6. The sport training device of claim 5 wherein said casters are movable between a first position supporting said device for mobility and a second out-of-the-way position.

7. The sport training device of claim 4 including resilient pad means positioned on the underside of said legs.

8. The sport training device of claim 1 wherein said height adjustment member is vertically adjustable at a detent means and wherein said height adjustment member comprises a vertically extending mast member.

9. The sport training device of claim 8 wherein said mast member is received within a bore in said support and is rotatable with respect to said support and further including locking means for securing said mast member in a selected rotative position.
