DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(4) Reference will now be made to exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used herein to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the disclosure is thereby intended. Alterations and further modifications of the inventive features illustrated herein and additional applications of the principles of the inventions as illustrated herein, which would occur to one skilled in the relevant art and having possession of this disclosure, are to be considered within the scope of the invention.

(5) FIG. 1. Is a front perspective view of the Spring Impact Boxing Dummy apparatus in three unassembled parts in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The FIG shows A. Anchor points, B. Wall mount, C. 8″ groove on both sides to side knob and adjust height, D. Spring frame made of 1″ square tube, S. 4″ steel springs to put frame Q in tension, Frame plate F and spring plate X. 1½″×1½″×⅛′ with ½″ holes, G. 1¼″ U-shape steel tube, H. head pad, I. Torso pad, J. Hand pad angled 15 degrees downward, and K. 1¼″ L-shape steel, The platform P, the mount B, the frame Q and the boxing dummy R are shown disassembled in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The spring S is shown stretched over a distance x maintaining a spring force of constant tension and constant force for a preset weight.

(6) FIG. 2. Is a front perspective view of the Spring Impact Boxing Dummy apparatus with all of the three parts put together in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The FIG, shows: H. head pad, I. Torso pad, J. Hand pad, L. Hands are angled 15 degrees downward from a vertical reference. The springs S provide a spring force of constant tension and constant force in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. Locking knobs N attach the platform P on each side thereof to the frame Q and adjust the relative boxing dummy height.

(7) The Spring Impact Boxing Dummy introduces a novel spring technology that creates a more lifelike boxing or MMA experience and therefore facilitates an accurate, intense striking motion for the user. The Spring Impact can be easily mounted on concrete, block, or stud walls and adjusted based on the user's height and reach offering options in height 6″ up or down, based on user. A spring force of the spring is set to a weight of a standard user at 200 lbs. recoil force. A spring force of each spring is therefore the standard use weight 200 lbs divided by the number of springs n. The frame of the adjustable height target has body weight tension springs welded within to mimic a real strike motion as these highly flexible springs ensure the target moves in the direction the user is striking, whether a punching or kicking action, while simultaneously absorbing joint stress as the spring compresses and springs back. The Spring Impact primary body target is strategically designed in half round cylinder shape to ensure users are able to perform full body strikes in a variety of angles while adjustment pins on the frame rails will also enable multiple users to train on the same boxing target; thus, ensuring various people are capable of training simultaneously. This innovative, top quality product provides a versatile, authentic, method for boxing and MMA training.
