Resilient Head Target for Boxing Bag
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing boxing training devices lack effective means to simulate the movement and impact of a human head during punching exercises, particularly for upper cuts, leading to suboptimal training in accuracy and skill development.
Innovation Solution
A training attachment for boxing heavy bags featuring a resilient target bag with adjustable positioning and a spring-based stabilization system that allows for side-to-side movement, mimicking human head analogs, ensuring proper target presentation and automatic return after impact, with multiple strap configurations for secure attachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a fixed rigid target is used for boxing training, then the target presentation is stable and consistent, but it cannot simulate the movement and impact of a human head during punching exercises
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed rigid target into a movable target that can simulate human head movement. The target assembly is mounted on a resilient support structure with spring elements that allow the target to move side-to-side and rebound after impact, dynamically replicating the behavior of a human head during boxing exercises.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a movable target is used to simulate human head movement, then the training realism is improved, but the target displacement and rebound after impact increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies beforehand cushioning by incorporating resilient support structures and spring elements beneath the target assembly. These elements are pre-configured to absorb impact energy and control the target's movement, reducing excessive rebound while maintaining realistic motion simulation. The cushioning mechanism is built into the target's support system to manage impact forces.
3Device complexity
If a simple strap attachment is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the secure attachment and positioning accuracy deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the attachment system into multiple functional components: horizontal straps for securing the target to the bag, vertical straps for positioning, and adjustable mounting mechanisms. This segmented approach allows each component to perform its specific function effectively while maintaining overall system simplicity and achieving accurate positioning.

AI summary
A training bag attachment for a suspended heavy bag for training boxing techniques, specifically but not limited an upper cut that requires an elevated and preferably suspended target. The training bag attachment provides a human head analog target representation, flexible resistant to impact. The target head bag extends from a resilient adjustable mounting assembly which is selectively secured to the bag's target. The target provides for automatic resilient return displacement after impact, affording a user multiple continuous resetting target configuration.
