Abstract

Implemented is a rage relieving device configured to receive physical strikes from a user to enable the user to unleash and release their rage. The user can hit the rage relieving device in a pound-like motion, and the device responsively outputs a sound. The rage relieving device includes one or more noise devices that output a sound responsive to being hit or receiving some impact. The rage relieving device may be comprised of one or more layers and, in typical implementations, may be a multi-layered construction. The outer shell may be a tougher skin such as lightweight cotton twill, whereas underneath the outer shell may be a foam-like material, microbeads, and/or some injection molding.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A rage relieving device, comprising:
 a top surface;   a bottom surface; and   a central area which branches off to endpoints, wherein each endpoint is divided by divisions so that each endpoint can provide an independent functionality,   wherein each endpoint includes a sensor that detects an impact, and   wherein detection of an impact causes the rage relieving device to provide an output.   
     
     
         2 . The rage relieving device of  claim 1 , wherein the output is an auditory sound that is output from a speaker, each endpoint being connected to the speaker. 
     
     
         3 . The rage relieving device of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 one or more processors; and   a hardware-based memory device having executable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the rage relieving device to:
 receive one or more signals from a sensor, in which the one or more signals reflect some detected impact; 
 determine that the one or more signals satisfy a threshold degree of pressure; and 
 output the auditory sound using the speaker responsive to the determination that the received one or more signals satisfy the threshold degree of pressure. 
   
     
     
         4 . The rage relieving device of  claim 3 , wherein a wire extends from each sensor to the speaker to transmit the one or more signals from the sensor, the speaker being positioned in the center of the rage relieving device. 
     
     
         5 . The rage relieving device of  claim 4 , wherein the rage relieving device is comprised of a layered structure. 
     
     
         6 . The rage relieving device of  claim 5 , wherein the layered structure includes an outer layer, a foam layer, and an internal layer underneath the foam layer. 
     
     
         7 . The rage relieving device of  claim 6 , wherein the foam layer is positioned on an upper area of the rage relieving device and ceases at or adjacent to the bottom area. 
     
     
         8 . A rage relieving device, comprising:
 an outer layer that completely encapsulates the rage relieving device;   hardware components that are completely encapsulated inside the outer layer, the hardware components including:
 sensors that individually receive external input; 
 a speaker; 
 one or more processors; and 
 one or more hardware-based memory devices which store computer-readable instructions that are executable by the one or more processors; and 
   a central area which branches off to endpoints, wherein each endpoint is divided by divisions so that each endpoint can provide an independent functionality,   wherein each endpoint includes a sensor which detects an exterior input against the outer layer, and   wherein detection of an impact causes the sensor to output a signal to the one or more processors.   
     
     
         9 . The rage relieving device of  claim 8 , wherein a hardware component housing is positioned inside the outer layer, the hardware component housing hosts the speaker, one or more processors, and the one or more hardware-based memory devices, and the sensors are separated by a distance from the hardware component housing. 
     
     
         10 . The rage relieving device of  claim 9 , further comprising wires that respectively connect the sensors to the hardware component housing, in which the wires transfer signals output by the sensors. 
     
     
         11 . The rage relieving device of  claim 10 , wherein the exterior input is an impact against the outer layer, and the sensors translate the impact to a signal, in which the signal varies based on a level of impact detected by the sensors. 
     
     
         12 . The rage relieving device of  claim 11 , wherein the hardware components are surrounded by a central interior layer for protection. 
     
     
         13 . The rage relieving device of  claim 12 , wherein the sensors are positioned against an upper interior layer that is adjacent to the outer layer to accurately detect a level of the exterior impact. 
     
     
         14 . The rage relieving device of  claim 13 , wherein the central interior layer is comprised of microbeads, and the upper interior layer is foam.
