Abstract: The universal heavy bag hanger is used to secure a heavy bag to an overhead horizontal support member. The bag hanger includes a flat pad that has a length along a length direction to wrap around a support member. The pad includes a slip resistant material that engages the support member when mounted thereon. A strap is secured to the outside surface and extends beyond the longitudinal ends of the flat pad. A D-shaped ring is attached to one free end of the strap suitable for attachment to a heavy bag or the like. The other end of the strap is provided with a rectangular closed ring dimensioned to allow the D-shaped ring to pass through it to form a slip joint for tightening the strap about the pad, when increased load is applied to prevent or inhibit relative sliding movements between the hanger and the support member.

Abstract: A multi-function striking bag includes a base and an adjustable length elongate member or post having lower and upper free ends. The lower free end is normally supported by the base in a substantial vertical orientation defining a vertical axis. A punching bag is supported on the upper free end. Two helical springs are spaced from each other along the post in-line with the post for providing flexing points where the springs are positioned. A flex-inhibitor is associated with each spring for selectively enabling an associated spring to flex and provide a flexing point or preventing flexing to prevent a flexing point. Each flex inhibitor includes a rod that is slidably mounted within the post and selectively movable between axial positions to engage or clear an associated helical spring.

Abstract: A finable striking bag support includes a generally planar platform. Brackets mount the platform in a generally horizontal plane to a wall or vertical surface. The platform has a smooth lower surface when mounted on the support surface and defining circular predetermined area. A swivel joint on the lower surface is generally centrally located within the predetermined area. The swivel joint is attached to a striking or speed bag for swiveling movements between a generally vertical position when the bag is at rest and for impacting against the smooth surface when struck by swiveling to positions generally normal to the rest position. The platform is molded of a plastic material and is formed on the upper surface with a system of concentric channels substantially covering the entire predetermined area, the channels being in fluid flow communication with each other.

Abstract: A protective boxing glove includes a palm-side portion and back-side portion together forming a hand receiving opening and having a series of finger stalls for receiving and at least partially covering the fingers. The palm and back side portions extend to a point at least beyond the wrist and over the forearm to cover the wrist when the glove is worn by a user, the back side portion generally defining a predetermined lateral width in the region covering the metacarpals. A resilient cushion is provided on the back side portion for covering at least the knuckles and at least portions of the proximal phalanges. A wrist strap is used for manually tensioning the glove about the wrist portion. A self adjusting tensioning strap extends laterally from side to side of said back-side portion substantially along a direction primarily normal to the orientations of the metacarpals.

Abstract: A readily dispersible, sugar-containing food mix is prepared by applying a coating of glycerin and polysorbate onto the surface of the sugar and then blending with the remaining ingredients. The coating should contain at least 60% glycerin and at least 5% polysorbate and be applied to the sugar at a level of at least 0.6% by weight.
