- 6. A striking apparatus as set forth in claim 5 wherein the length of said sheet is greater than the distance between said suction cups.
- 7. A striking apparatus as set forth in claim 1 wherein said sheet is formed of a pair of facing sheets spaced apart and flange means integral with and interconnecting the facing surfaces of said facing sheets, the length of said sheets being greater than the distance between said suction cups and wherein said sheet includes an aperture adjacent the rigid support member forming a hand grip for use when said suction cups are not engaging a flat surface;
- said axially extending means comprising cylindrical members extending from a convex surface of said cups at the one ends and engaging said rigid support member at the other ends; and
- a base having a diameter greater than the distance between said suction cups with one flat surface to which the cups may be adhered and a second opposite surface upon which said apparatus may be supported with means on said second opposite surface adapted to secure said base to a wall or floor.
