Reflective Punching Bag Wrapping Device

Abstract

A reflective punching bag wrapping device for improving striking techniques includes a panel, which is resiliently flexible so that it conforms to a contour of a punching bag. The panel is reflective so that it reflects an image of a user who is striking the punching bag. A fastener, which is engaged to the panel, selectively engages the punching bag to removably engage the panel to the punching bag. The reflective punching bag wrapping device, once installed on the punching bag, allows the user to self-train and to improve their striking techniques.

1 . A reflective punching bag wrapping device comprising:
 a panel, the panel being resiliently flexible, wherein the panel is configured for conforming to a contour of a punching bag, the panel being reflective, wherein the panel is configured for reflecting an image of a user striking the punching bag; and   a fastener engaged to the panel and being configured for selectively engaging the punching bag, wherein the fastener is configured for removably engaging the panel to the punching bag.   
     
     
         2 . The reflective punching bag wrapping device of  claim 1 , wherein the panel is sized such that opposed ends of the panel are proximately positioned when the panel is wrapped around the punching bag. 
     
     
         3 . The reflective punching bag wrapping device of  claim 1 , wherein the panel comprises:
 a first layer comprising elastomer, such that the panel is flexible, and   a second layer comprising reflective metal, such that the panel is reflective.   
     
     
         4 . The reflective punching bag wrapping device of  claim 3 , wherein:
 the first layer comprises polycarbonate; and   the second layer comprises aluminum.   
     
     
         5 . The reflective punching bag wrapping device of  claim 3 , wherein the panel comprises a third layer, such that the first layer is sandwiched between the second layer and the third layer, the third layer comprising reflective metal. 
     
     
         6 . The reflective punching bag wrapping device of  claim 5 , wherein the third layer comprises aluminum; and 
     
     
         7 . The reflective punching bag wrapping device of  claim 2 , wherein the fastener comprises:
 a first element of a hook and loop fastener engaged to a first face of the panel and extending along one of the opposed ends of the panel; and   a second element of a hook and loop fastener engaged to a second face of the panel and extending along the other of the opposed ends of the panel, such that the second element is positioned for selectively engaging the first element for removably engaging the panel to the punching bag.   
     
     
         8 . A reflective punching bag wrapping system comprising:
 a punching bag;   a panel, the panel being resiliently flexible, such that the panel conforms to a contour of the punching bag, the panel being reflective; and   a fastener engaged to the panel and being selectively engaged to the punching bag, such that the panel is removably engaged to the punching bag, wherein the panel is configured for reflecting an image of a user striking the punching bag.   
     
     
         9 . A reflective punching bag wrapping device comprising:
 a panel, the panel being resiliently flexible, wherein the panel is configured for conforming to a contour of a punching bag, the panel being reflective, wherein the panel is configured for reflecting an image of a user striking the punching bag, the panel being sized such that opposed ends of the panel are proximately positioned when the panel is wrapped around the punching bag, the panel comprising a first layer and a second layer, the first layer comprising elastomer, such that the panel is flexible, the second layer comprising reflective metal, such that the panel is reflective, the first layer comprising polycarbonate, the second layer comprising aluminum, the panel comprising a third layer, such that the first layer is sandwiched between the second layer and the third layer, the third layer comprising reflective metal, the third layer comprising aluminum; and   a fastener engaged to the panel and being configured for selectively engaging the punching bag, wherein the fastener is configured for removably engaging the panel to the punching bag, the fastener comprising:
 a first element of a hook and loop fastener engaged to a first face of the panel and extending along one of the opposed ends of the panel, and 
 a second element of a hook and loop fastener engaged to a second face of the panel and extending along the other of the opposed ends of the panel, such that the second element is positioned for selectively engaging the first element for removably engaging the panel to the punching bag.
