Freestanding Impact Bag Base

Abstract

A modular weighted base for a freestanding impact bag, equipped with access doors providing access to an interior of the base to facilitate the addition or subtraction of weight to increase the mobility of the unit. The base is preferably equipped with anchors configured to enable a user to affix one or more resistance bands to the base, providing a means for performing additional exercises with the base when weights are installed. An impact bag is removably affixed atop the base. Weights removably disposed within the base stabilize the impact bag for use by a user, preventing the unit from tipping over, or recoiling to injure the user.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A modular weighted support apparatus for an upright impact bag comprising:
 a base, said base having an interior and an exterior;   wherein said base has a top and a bottom;   wherein said interior of said base is hollow;   an access door, said access door disposed on said exterior of said base;   weighted units, said weighted units removably disposed within said base, accessible via said access door;   a central mount, said central mount disposed in a center of said top of said base;   wherein said central mount is configured to accept a vertical support of the upright impact bag;   wherein said central mount is configured to accept a vertical, columnar support of the upright impact bag;   wherein said weighted units are configured to move within said interior of said hollow base; and   wherein said base is made of a plastic polymer.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said bottom is circular. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said base is a housing configured to contain weights. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein said weights are sand bags. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein said weights are dumbbells. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein said weights are water bags. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein said weights weigh between 180 to 275 pounds total. 
     
     
         8 . (canceled) 
     
     
         9 . (canceled) 
     
     
         10 . A modular weighted support apparatus for an upright impact bag comprising:
 a base, said base having an interior and an exterior;   wherein said base has a top and a bottom;   wherein said interior of said base is hollow;   an access door, said access door disposed on said exterior of said base;   wherein said access door facilitates access to said interior of said base;   weighted units, said weighted units removably disposed within said base, accessible via said access door;   wherein said access door is affixed to said base via a hinge;   a central mount, said central mount disposed in a center of said top of said base;   wherein said central mount is configured to accept a vertical support of the upright impact bag;   wherein said central mount is configured to accept a vertical, columnar support of the upright impact bag;   wherein said weighted units are configured to move within said interior of said hollow base; and   wherein said base is made of a plastic polymer.   
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein said base is a housing configured to contain weights. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein said weights are sand bags. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein said weights are dumbbells. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein said weights are pie slice-shaped. 
     
     
         15 . A modular weighted support apparatus for an upright impact bag comprising:
 a base, said base having an interior and an exterior;   wherein said base has a top and a bottom;   wherein said interior of said base is hollow;   an access door, said access door disposed on said exterior of said base;   weighted units, said weighted units are bags filled with contents and configured to be removably disposed within said base, accessible via said access door;   a central mount, said central mount disposed in a center of said top of said base;   wherein said central mount is configured to accept a vertical, columnar support of the upright impact bag;   wherein said base is made of a plastic polymer;   wherein said contents of said weighted units are configured to remain in said bags in said base, behind said access door; and   wherein said contents of said weighted units in said bags are configured to be removed from said base via said access door.
