The following includes information that may be useful in understanding the present disclosure. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art nor material to the presently described or claimed inventions, nor that any publication or document that is specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
The present invention relates generally to the field of exercise devices and more specifically relates to ducking and blocking swivel apparatus.
Today there is a great emphasis on physical fitness. Popular with many people are boxing, kick boxing, karate and other martial arts which offer the practitioners both physical fitness and self-protection. Students of such self-defense arts often use pads that are struck with their hands and/or feet to improve hand-eye coordination and to improve their strength. Training devices may be bulky and unpractical. A suitable solution is desired.
U.S. Pub. No. 2004/0224826 to Rory O'Shea relates to a motorized punching bag apparatus and a system and a method for using the same. The described motorized punching bag apparatus and a system and a method for using the same includes a training apparatus, a training system and method for training have a rotatable arm which allows the user to punch the punching bag while bobbing and weaving to avoid the rotatable arm. A balance base plate and post are provided which extend from the balance base plate. A horizontal arm extends from the post allowing a punching bag to depend from the horizontal arm. A motorized rotatable arm with an impact absorbent cushion at its distal end is attached to the horizontal arm and rotates which may require the user to avoid contact with the impact absorbent cushion positioned at the distal end of the motorized rotatable arm. This training apparatus simulates movements required in contact sports, such as boxing, kick-boxing, and other martial arts.
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known exercise device art, the present disclosure provides a novel exercise device accessory attachment system. The general purpose of the present disclosure, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide an efficient set of training devices for strength and conditioning.
An exercise device accessory attachment system is disclosed herein. The exercise device accessory attachment system includes a training device having a support member having a first-end, a second-end, and a length, and an accessory attachment. The training device includes the support member and the accessory attachment. The accessory attachment is linearly fixed to the first-end. The second-end is configured to slideably engage within a square tubing portion of a work-out bench and support the training device substantially vertically at a desired elevated position for use. The accessory attachment comprises a ducking and blocking swivel arm, a strike bag, and an arm wrestle stand, the accessory attachment configured to be interchangeable. The accessory attachments may be used for a plurality of exercises for strength and conditioning. The device may also be used as a safety training device.
A kit is also disclosed herein including a support member, a ducking and blocking swivel arm, a strike bag, an arm wrestle stand, a vertical goal reacher extension arm, and a set of instructions.
According to another embodiment, a method of using an exercise device accessory attachment system is also disclosed herein. The steps include providing a training device having a support member having a first-end, a second-end, and a length, and an accessory attachment; selecting the accessory attachment; attaching and securing the support member to a square tubing portion of a work-out bench; using the training device; adjusting a height of the training device; and removing the training device.
For purposes of summarizing the invention, certain aspects, advantages, and novel features of the invention have been described herein. It is to be understood that not necessarily all such advantages may be achieved in accordance with any one particular embodiment of the invention. Thus, the invention may be embodied or carried out in a manner that achieves or optimizes one advantage or group of advantages as taught herein without necessarily achieving other advantages as may be taught or suggested herein. The features of the invention which are believed to be novel are particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the concluding portion of the specification. These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings and detailed description.
The figures which accompany the written portion of this specification illustrate embodiments and methods of use for the present disclosure, an exercise device accessory attachment system, constructed and operative according to the teachings of the present disclosure.
The various embodiments of the present invention will hereinafter be described in conjunction with the appended drawings, wherein like designations denote like elements.
As discussed above, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an exercise device and more particularly to an exercise device accessory attachment system as used to improve exercising and training.
Generally, the invention is a square tubing that fits into a workout bench frame receiver. It includes a set of interchangeable training devices including a ducking/blocking swivel, a strike bag, and an arm wrestling stand. The device provides a kit of training devices which may be easily stored between uses. The exercise device accessory attachment system allows a user to use a work out bench for a series of exercise.

In other embodiments, the accessory attachment includes a vertical goal reacher extension arm 172. The vertical goal reacher extension arm 172 includes a telescopic pole configured to extend to a desired user-preferred-height. This device may be used to measure a user's vertical jump and reach goals. The accessory attachment 140 is configured to be interchangeably used. The devices used as accessories herein may in certain embodiments, collapse, fold or otherwise be manipulated to reduce the storage footprint.
According to one embodiment, the exercise device accessory attachment system 100 may be arranged as a kit 105. In particular, the exercise device accessory attachment system 100 may further include a set of instructions 107, a support member 120; a ducking and blocking swivel arm 160; a strike bag 164; an arm wrestle stand 168; and a vertical goal reacher extension arm 172. The instructions 107 may detail functional relationships in relation to the structure of the exercise device accessory attachment system 100 such that the exercise device accessory attachment system 100 can be used, maintained, or the like, in a preferred manner.
