Abstract
In a light duty punching bag and mounting arrangement, the bag is made from two balloons. A first balloon is inflated inside another, the two uniting to form a durable suitably resilient bag. Basis for suspension of the bag is a collar sandwiched between the walls of the two balloons and held there by a clamping force resulting from inflation pressure. Articulated connection to an overhead rebound board is by a short flexible tube and a ball pivot in tandem. These help produce a desirable rebounding characteristic, close to that of a professional punching bag. Several mounting methods are disclosed including at least one which provides a convenient height adjustment.
