Abstract:
1. A training apparatus, comprising: a frame assembly comprising a first driving mechanism adapted to configure an operative coupling between the pair of first frame members and the second frame member; a drifting mechanism movably secured to the second frame member, the drifting mechanism adapted to move longitudinally along the second frame member; a second driving mechanism adapted to support the drifting mechanism thereon and movably secure the drifting mechanism to the second frame member; and a dummy operatively coupled to the drifting mechanism, the dummy being movably secured to the second frame member through the drifting mechanism, wherein the first driving mechanism is capable of moving the second frame member longitudinally along the pair of first frame members, thereby enabling the dummy to move in a longitudinal direction of the frame assembly, and, wherein the second driving mechanism is capable of moving the drifting mechanism longitudinally along the second frame member, thereby enabling the dummy to move in a transverse direction of the frame assembly, wherein the second frame member comprises a pair of second frame structures spaced apart and extending longitudinally opposite to each other between the pair of first frame members, the pair of second frame structures being operatively coupled to the drifting mechanism through the second driving mechanism, wherein the second driving mechanism comprises: a second pulley assembly configured on opposite end portions of the second frame member; a pair of second frame rail assemblies configured on the pair of second frame structures, the pair of second frame rail assemblies extending along the pair of second frame structures; and a second frame plate assembly movably coupled to the pair of second frame rail assemblies, the second frame plate assembly adapted to longitudinally move along the pair of second frame rail assemblies, wherein the second frame plate assembly is adapted to be coupled to the drifting mechanism for enabling the operative coupling between the drifting mechanism and the second frame member, and, wherein the second pulley assembly is capable of moving the second frame plate assembly longitudinally along the pair of second frame rail assemblies, thereby enabling the drifting mechanism to move longitudinally along the second frame member for moving the dummy in the transverse direction of the frame assembly.
