Abstract:
A punching handle accessory of simplified design and construction which enables a user to perform various natural, unobstructed punching motions, while overcoming a cable actuated resistance. An elongated, crescent shaped mounting bracket provides a resistance connection point on each end. A pressure plate is attached to the mounting bracket by a spindle. The spindle attaches the pressure plate to the concave side of the crescent shaped elongated mounting bracket generally midway between the resistance connection points. The spindle allows the pressure plate to rotate on the mounting bracket along an axis which is generally perpendicular to a straight line passing through the resistance connection points on the elongated mounting bracket. A non-supportive handle cross member is attached to the pressure plate. This handle cross member, when grasped in a user's palm, only correctly positions the user's fist in relation to the rotational centerline of the pressure plate and spindle.
