Abstract

A striking bag assembly which includes a primary bag suspended from a fixed support and an anchor bag suspended from the primary bag. The anchor bag is smaller and heavier and, therefore, considerably denser than the primary bag. More specifically, the anchor bag is pivotally connected to the primary bag and the primary bag is pivotally connected to the fixed support.

Claims

1. A striking bag assembly comprising:

(a) a primary bag adapted to be suspended from a fixed support for swinging motion relative to said fixed support when said primary bag is subjected to a horizontal force, said primary bag having a pliable casing and filled with a resiliently compressible first material which enables the primary bag to be safely struck by a person, and

(b) an anchor bag suspended from said primary bag and having a substantially smaller volume than that of said primary bag, said anchor bag having a casing and filled with a second material which is substantially denser than said first matter, the weight of said anchor bag being from 100% to 200% of the weight of said primary bag.

2. The striking bag as recited in claim 1, wherein said first material is foam plastic and second material is sand.

3. The striking bag as recited in claim 1, wherein said first material is air and said casing is an air impervious material.

4. A striking bag assembly comprising;

(a) a primary bag adapted to be suspended from a fixed support for swinging motion relative to said fixed support wherein said primary bag is subjected to a horizontal force, said primary bag having a pliable air impervious casing and filled with air which enables the primary bag to be safely struck by a person, and

(b) anchor bag suspended from said primary bag and having substantially smaller volume than that of said primary bag, said anchor bag having a casing and weighs more than said primary bag.

5. A striking bag assembly comprising:

(a) a primary bag adapted to be suspended from a fixed support for swinging motion relative to said fixed support when said primary bag is subjected to a horizontal force, said primary bag having a pliable air impervious casing and filled with air which enables the primary bag to be safely struck by a person, and

(b) an anchor bag suspended from said primary bag and having a substantially smaller volume than that of said primary bag, and weighs at least 33% more than said primary bag.

6. A striking bag assembly as recited in claim 5, wherein said primary bag has an air impervious casing and said primary bag is filled with air.

7. A striking bag assembly as recited in claim 6, wherein said anchor bag is filled with sand.
