Benefits of technology

[0006]The present invention provides an inflatable punching bag, which includes a plurality of impact areas that provide feedback when struck. The inflatable punching bag preferably includes an inflatable bag, at least one sensor device, a control box and a base. The inflatable bag is preferably fabricated from a PVC plastic material. An air valve is preferably formed on a top of the inflatable bag for filling thereof with air. At least one impact area is formed on a front of the inflatable bag. A single sensor device is formed behind each one of the at least one impact area. The sensor device preferably includes a sensor case, at least one light source and an impact sensor. The wires from each sensor device are run through a rear of the inflatable bag. The wire opening is sealed to prevent the loss of air pressure.

Problems solved by technology

However, the Ghim device is not inflatable.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]With reference now to the drawings, and particularly to FIG. 1, there is shown a side view of an inflatable punching bag 1. With reference to FIGS. 2-5, the inflatable punching bag 1 preferably includes an inflatable bag 10, at least one sensor device 11, a control box 12, and a base 14. The inflatable bag 10 is preferably fabricated from a PVC plastic material, but other suitable materials may also be used. An air valve 16 is preferably formed on a top of the inflatable bag for filling thereof with air. At least one impact area 18 is formed on a front of the inflatable bag 10. The at least one impact area 18 may have any suitable shape. A single sensor device 11 is formed behind each one of the at least one impact area 18.

[0017]The sensor device 11 preferably includes a sensor case 22, at least one light source 24 and an impact sensor 26. The impact sensor 26 and at least one light source 24 are preferably retained on a circuit board 28. The at least one light source 24 may b...

Abstract

An inflatable punching bag includes an inflatable bag, at least one sensor device, a control box and a base. At least one impact area is formed on the inflatable bag. A single sensor device is attached behind each impact area. Each sensor device preferably includes a sensor case, at least one light source and an impact sensor. A control box preferably includes a power source, a sound transducer and an electrical circuit. The electrical circuit receives input from at least one impact sensor. The electrical circuit provides a light output through the at least one light source, an audible output through the sound transducer and a video output through a video display. The base preferably includes a weighted portion and intermediate portion. The weighted portion is filled with a dense solid or liquid to provide radial support for the inflatable punching bag. The intermediate portion is disposed between the base and the inflatable bag.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates generally to exercise and more specifically to an inflatable punching bag, which includes a plurality of impact areas that provide feedback when struck.[0003]2. Discussion of the Prior Art[0004]Patent application number 2004 / 0097347 to Ghim discloses a sports training device. The Ghim application includes a body having at least one hitting surface sized and shaped so as to receive a punch or kick delivered by a user. A sound generator is carried by the body for generating an audible sound and includes a switch carried by the body for causing the generator to generate the sound in response to an impact created by the punch or kick. However, the Ghim device is not inflatable.[0005]Accordingly, there is a clearly felt need in the art for an inflatable punching bag, which may be deflated for transportation in a small enclosure and includes a plurality of impact areas that provide feedback when ...
