Title: Boxing machine

Description:
FIELD OF INVENTION 
     The machine replicates combat training using striking pads. 
     DESCRIPTION 
     The machine is mounted to a wall by way of a frame ( 5 ). The frame ( 5 ) is a cross shape design with infusions at the end of each axis. The rotating bar ( 1 ) screws onto the rod ( 2 ) which is held in place by the chamber ( 4 ). The chamber ( 4 ) contains an internal insert made of plastic (not shown in drawings). The internal insert is to reduce noise and vibration. The rod ( 2 ) is secured by the lock nuts ( 6 ) top and bottom of the chamber ( 4 ) to stop it from rotating. The rod ( 2 ) can be threaded or unthreaded depending on the requirements. The chamber ( 4 ) is attached to the frame ( 5 ) by way of the main support bar ( 9 ). The main support bar ( 9 ) has three secondary support bars ( 3 + 8 ). The bars which give support are situated on the left ( 3 ) and on the right ( 3 ) and directly below ( 8 ) the main bar ( 9 ).The secondary support bars ( 3 + 8 ) give support to the main bar ( 9 ) when the machine is being struck. It stops the main bar ( 9 ) from moving left and right when hit with force. 
     The rotating bar ( 1 ) has two round targets at each end. The targets are double sided and are covered with padding this means the machine has four targets front and back of each pad, meaning you can work on multiple combinations when striking it. When using a threaded rod ( 2 ) the rotating bar ( 1 ) rotates up, down, left and right meaning the targets are always moving just like an opponent would in a fight. This is excellent for your timing, hand eye coordination and also footwork. It helps footwork because the rotating bar rotates 360 degrees meaning you can work on angles and strike it while moving left and right. The rotating bar can rotate extremely quickly. It can move as fast as you can hit it. This will help with speed and endurance. When using a threaded rod ( 2 ) the rotating bar ( 1 ) rotates to the top and bottom of the rod ( 2 ) meaning it can be adjusted to a height that suits the person using it. When using a non-threaded rod ( 2 ) the rotating bar will only move in a 360 degree motion and will not move up or down.
