Claims
- 1. A portable knockdown boxing exercising equipment comprising:
- (a) a stand for selectively mounting in operative position a punching bag, said stand including:
- (1) a substantially U-shaped member adapted to be positioned on a floor including a horizontal element and at least two substantially parallel elements disposed perpendicular to said horizontal element and secured thereto,
- (2) an elongated element disposed vertical to the floor and secured at one of its ends perpendicularly to said horizontal element substantially in the center thereof,
- (3) strut means connected to said horizontal and vertical elements for structurally bracing said elements, and
- (4) a cantilever element having one end connected to the other end of said vertical element and means at its other end for attaching a heavy punching bag,
- (b) a cross-bar spaced from and substantially parallel to said horizontal element and connected to said substantially parallel elements, said cross bar including a plurality of spaced apertures and having fastening means disposed in conjunction with each of said apertures,
- (c) a resilient flexible platform having a thickness capable of flexure under the weight and jumping movement of a user of the equipment, said platform having top and bottom surfaces, a central area, and first and second edges, said platform including spaced apertures at the first edge thereof adapted to overlie said apertures in said cross-bar; and
- (d) said fastening means removably securing said platform to said cross-bar with resultant spacing of said first edge above a floor while spacing said second edge above a floor in a cantilever fashion.
- 2. An exercising device as recited in claim 1 further including:
- (e) a heavy punching bag attached to said attaching means at the other end of said cantilever element, the lower end of said punching bag being spaced above said platform for permitting free and unobstructed swinging movement of said bag when contacted by a user.
- 3. An exercising device as recited in claim 2 wherein said means attaching said heavy bag includes a chain.
- 4. An exercising device as recited in claim 2, including an elongated resilient means, releasable securing means and attachment means intermediate the ends of said cross-bar, said resilient means having one of its ends connected to the bottom of said punching bag and its other end releasably connected to said attachment means by said releasable securing means, for effectively reducing vibration of said heavy bag with consequent return of said bag to a normal at rest position.
- 5. An exercising device as recited in claim 4 wherein said resilient means is a tension spring.
- 6. An exercising device as recited in claim 4 wherein said attaching means intermediate the ends of said cross-bar comprises:
- (a) a hollow block having an aperture therethrough,
- (b) means engaging said apertures in said cross-bar and said block for securing said block to said platform, and
- (c) said block including means for receiving said releasable securing means.
- 7. An exercising device as recited in claim 1 wherein said resilient platform means is plywood and includes at the bottom thereof a plurality of spaced blocks disposed about the perimeter for permitting varying of the degree of resilience of said platform at the center thereof.
