BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The following includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention(s). It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art, or material, to the presently described or claimed inventions, or that any publication or document that is specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to the field of boxing training aids and more specifically relates to a boxing buddy system.
2. Description of the Related Art
Training devices are used by boxers and other practitioners of the various martial arts (MMA or mixed martial arts, kick-boxing, and so forth) where blows are delivered to an opponent by hand, fist, or feet. The training device frequently used is a heavy punching bag. Heavy bags may be suspended from above or free-standing with a weighted base; but either way, they present the training fighter not with an anatomically accurate “opponent” against whom to deliver blows, but only with a heavy cylinder. Considering this situation, it would be desirable to work out with a punching bag having characteristics of a real fighter including features to allow defensive actions. This would make a heavy-bag workout far more challenging, enjoyable, and effective in terms of developing accuracy in punches and kicks. A suitable solution is desirable.
Various attempts have been made to solve the above-mentioned problems such as those found in U.S. Pat. No. 7,909,749 to Richard Sheedy; U.S. Publication Number 2012/0053016 to Michael Williamson; and U.S. Pat. No. 5,803,877 to Thomas Franey. This art is representative of boxing training aids. None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singly or in combination, is seen to describe the invention as claimed.
Ideally, a boxing buddy system should provide a lifelike, automated, heavy punching bag that can parry punches with robotic arms, rotate to right and left, and sense and record the weight and accuracy of punches delivered to it for training aspiring boxers and other martial artists to deliver punches to various strategic points of their opponent's anatomy, while replicating the defensive moves of an actual human opponent; and, yet would operate reliably and be manufactured at a modest expense. Thus, a need exists for a reliable boxing buddy system to avoid the above-mentioned problems.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known boxing training aids art, the present invention provides a novel boxing buddy system. The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail is to provide a lifelike, automated, heavy punching bag.
A boxing buddy system is disclosed herein, in a preferred embodiment, comprising: a boxing-buddy-assembly having in structural arrangement a body, a body-mount, a plurality of cameras, a pair of gloves comprising a right-glove and a left-glove, and a mat.
The body, comprising a punching-bag, is able to be used for improving the boxing skills of a user. The punching-bag comprises an image of a professional boxer on a front-surface of the punching-bag; the image includes a face and a torso which serves as target-locations for the user. The face and the torso of the image each comprise a plurality of body-sensors strategically located to detect punches delivered from the user. The body further comprises a first-power-source, a punch-recorder-means, a punch-display, a robotic-right-arm and a robotic-left-arm.
Each of the robotic-right-arm and robotic-left-arm, comprising a shoulder-joint, an elbow-joint, and a wrist-joint, fixedly attached to an outer-surface of the punching-bag. Each of the robotic-right-arm and robotic-left-arm also comprise a motorized-motion-means able to manipulate the robotic-right-arm and the robotic-left-arm via the shoulder-joint, the elbow-joint and the wrist-joint. The robotic-right-arm and robotic-left-arm are able to be manipulated vertically and horizontally in relation to the punching-bag via the motorized-motion-means to simulate defensive motions common to boxing using flexing and moving of the shoulder-joint, the elbow-joint, and the wrist-joint of each of the robotic-right-arm and robotic-left-arm.
The punch-recorder-means comprises a micro-processor able to tally punches from the first-glove and second-glove, each comprising a boxing-glove, to the plurality of body-sensors. The micro-processor also transmits data to a punch-display, comprising a scorecard, located on the backside of the punching-bag. The user is also able to program information into the micro-processor including the length of time for the current training session. The session length information along with the tally of punches delivered by the user is displayed on the punch-display and the length of time and the tally of punches changes during the training session.
The first-power-source of the punching-bag comprises a first-battery-pack enclosed within a first-power-source-compartment of the punching-bag. The first-battery-pack provides power to the body-sensors located on the face and torso of the image, the micro-processor, the robotic-right-arm and the robotic-left-arm.
The body-mount comprises an attachment-means and a plurality of suspension-means. The punching-bag is suspended from a planer-surface, comprising a ceiling, via the body-mount which comprises a gimbaled, ball-bearing mechanism able to rotate 360 degrees on a horizontal plane such that the image faces the user as the user punches the punching-bag during the training session.
Each of the plurality of cameras, comprising exactly three cameras, are fixedly mounted to an outer-surface of the punching-bag. The cameras are fixedly attached to the punching-bag in a manner able to view and record actions of the user via the micro-processor. The plurality of cameras cover a range of 180 degrees to view the actions of the user from a left-side and a right-side of the punching-bag as the user moves around on the mat and delivers punches to the punching-bag. With data provided by the plurality of cameras, the micro-processor activates the robotic-right-arm and the robotic-left-arm to instantly assume defensive positions against the user.
The mat, preferably having an eight-foot square size, comprises a second-power-source and a plurality of mat-sensors. The mat-sensors are able to monitor the movement of the feet of the user during use of the boxing buddy system. The second-power-source comprises a second-battery-pack enclosed in a second-power-source-compartment of the mat. The second-battery-pack provides power to the mat-sensors that are strategically arranged on the top-surface of the mat.
The user wears the pair of boxing-gloves. The boxing-gloves and the mat are useful to the user when working with the boxing buddy system to improve boxing skills. Each of the pair of boxing-gloves comprise a plurality of glove-sensors able to record punches to the punching-bag such that the micro-processor is able to detect which of the right-glove and the left-glove delivered punches to the punching-bag.
The user is able set up the boxing buddy system by suspending the punching-bag from the planer-surface via the body-mount using the attachment-means, comprising a flattened metal sphere using attaching screws, and the plurality of suspension-means. The user then would place the mat in position for use, place the right-glove and the left-glove on hands, and use the boxing buddy system by punching the punching-bag with the right-glove and the left-glove.
While in use, the micro-processor activates the robotic-right-arm and the robotic-left-arm and via use of the plurality of body-sensors the micro-processor is able to monitor movement of the user via the plurality of cameras and movement of the user on the mat. The micro-processor is also able to rotate and position the punching-bag horizontally based on the position of the user on the mat and record punches from the user via the body-sensors and display a tally of punches on the punch-display.
The present invention holds significant improvements and serves as a boxing buddy system. For purposes of summarizing the invention, certain aspects, advantages, and novel features of the invention have been described herein. It is to be understood that not necessarily all such advantages may be achieved in accordance with any one particular embodiment of the invention. Thus, the invention may be embodied or carried out in a manner that achieves or optimizes one advantage or group of advantages as taught herein without necessarily achieving other advantages as may be taught or suggested herein.
