Abstract:
A speed bag support apparatus for supporting and storing a speed bag, the speed bag support apparatus comprising:a wall mounting assembly comprising at least one stanchion member, said stanchion member being adapted for being coupled to a vertical support surface for supporting said wall mounting assembly from the vertical support surface; a platform assembly being rotatably coupled to said wall mounting assembly, said platform assembly being rotatable between a deployed position defined by said platform assembly being positioned substantially perpendicular to said wall mounting assembly and a stored position defined by said platform assembly being positioned substantially parallel to said wall mounting assembly, said platform assembly being adapted or receiving the speed bag such that platform assembly suspends the speed bag over a floor to be used by a user when said support assembly is in the deployed position; an actuating assembly being coupled to said stanchion member of said wall mounting assembly, said actuating assembly being operationally coupled to said platform assembly such that said actuating system rotates said platform assembly between the deployed position and the stored position when said actuating assembly is actuated by the user; said actuating assembly comprising at least one cable member, said cable member being coupled to said platform assembly, said cable member extending through an interior space of said stanchion member such that said cable member pulls said platform assembly into the stored position when said cable member is drawn into said interior space of said stanchion member by the user and a mounting, coupled to said platform assembly for coupling said speed bag for permitting said speed bag to pivot with respect to said platform when said speed the speed bag is struck by the user.
