Universal punching bag support apparatus

摘要

This disclosure describes an apparatus and methods to support a punching bag, or a punching bag and rebound platform, within a doorway or other architectural opening. Mounting the apparatus does not involve modifying or altering the supporting architectural structures and surfaces (e.g., with screws, brackets, adhesives, etc.). Clamps are instrumental in safely securing the apparatus and stabilizing it for high-performance use of a plurality of punching bags. Adjustment mechanisms not only facilitate the mounting of the apparatus to a plurality of doorframes and other architraves but also accommodate the height and depth preferences of a user. In addition, a folding mechanism allows the apparatus to be compacted for storage or transport.

主权项

1. A support apparatus comprising:
a) a support member disposed horizontally to span at least a substantial portion of a width of an architectural frame and having a plurality of coupling points; b) a first clamp adjustably coupled with said support member by means of said plurality of coupling points whereby the first clamp is disposed proximate to a left side of said architectural frame; c) a second clamp adjustably coupled with said support member by means of said plurality of coupling points whereby the second clamp is disposed proximate to a right side of said architectural frame; wherein the apparatus, as operatively secured by tensioning the first clamp and the second clamp respectively to the left side and the right side of the architectural frame, is sufficient to achieve effective support and stability for use of a punching bag coupled to the apparatus.
