Solution Overview

Problem

Existing boxing training equipment does not effectively simulate the repetitive and adjustable impact necessary for improving accuracy and skill in upper cut punches, lacking in dynamic and adjustable target presentation for realistic training.

Innovation Solution

A training attachment system for boxing heavy bags featuring multiple independently secured and pivotally mounted target punching bags with adjustable height and resilient return mechanisms, allowing for dynamic and adjustable target presentation to mimic the human body configuration for effective upper cut practice.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple independent target punching bags are suspended from a heavy bag, then training realism and adaptability are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining adaptabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The training device is divided into multiple independent target punching bags (at least two) that can be separately positioned and adjusted on the heavy bag surface. Each target bag operates independently, allowing diverse training configurations for different punching techniques while maintaining a unified overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The heavy bag surface serves multiple functions: it acts as both the traditional punching target and a mounting structure for multiple adjustable target bags. The mounting straps and positioning mechanisms enable the same structure to accommodate various training scenarios including different punch types, heights, and angles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If target punching bags are made adjustable for different heights, then adaptability to various user heights is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheight adjustabilityVSAvoidadjustment mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The target punching bags are designed with adjustable mounting mechanisms that allow dynamic repositioning along the heavy bag surface. The straps and positioning systems enable users to adjust target heights and positions according to their specific needs, transforming a static structure into a dynamically adaptable training device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If resilient return lines are added to reset target bags rapidly, then productivity of training sessions is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining efficiencyVSAvoidreset mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The resilient return lines are integrated into the mounting system of each target punching bag, enabling automatic self-reset after being struck. When a target bag is hit and displaced, the elastic return mechanism automatically pulls it back to its original position without requiring manual intervention, allowing continuous training sequences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

4Ease of operation

If multiple target bags are pivotally secured with mounting straps, then ease of operation and rapid reset are improved, but reliability of target positioning may worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverapid reset capabilityVSAvoidtarget positioning stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting straps are designed with pre-tensioning and secure attachment mechanisms that ensure target bags remain firmly positioned during training. The resilient return lines are integrated into the mounting system, providing both secure positioning and automatic reset functionality, ensuring target bags return to their original positions without drift or misalignment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

AI summary

A training bag attachment on a heavy boxing bag for training boxing techniques, specifically an upper cut that requires an elevated preferably suspended target. The upper cut training bag attachment provides for multiple independent target punching bags spaced around the heavy bag. The target punching bags are vertically adjustable and spaced to be outstanding from the mounting bag surface for use. An elastic retainer assembly provides for automatic resilient return displacement after impact, affording a user multiple continuously resetting targets.
