The present disclosure relates to a portable hand-wrapping platform that provides a solution for a trainer to wrap an athlete's hands. The portable hand-wrapping platform can be used by boxers, mixed martial artists, or any sports athlete for whom hand-wrapping is necessitated by the nature of a particular sport or activity. The portable hand-wrapping platform is designed to be attached to the backrest of one or two common, folding chairs. The hand-wrapping platform has a rigid bottom section that is configured to temporarily affix to either one chair back or to two chairs facing back-to-back. A padded upper surface provides a platform for an athlete to rest his forearm while a trainer wraps the athlete's hands.

1. An apparatus providing a platform for resting an athlete's forearm up on while the wrist and hand of the forearm are wrapped by another comprising: a rigid lower form; andsaid rigid lower form having at least one slot; andsaid rigid lower form fixedly engaged with a padded upper form; andproviding a chair with a backrest having two sides and a top edge; andsaid at least one slot configured to receive the top edge of the backrest of said chair;whereinthe slot of said rigid lower form being engaged with the top edge of the backrest of said chair, supports the padded upper section in an orientation that is comfortable for one to rest a forearm on when sitting on the chair facing the backrest. 2. The apparatus of claim one further comprising: two of said at least one slot; andthe rigid lower form being rectangular having long sides parallel to the backrest of said chair; andproviding a vertical plane that is parallel to said long sides of said rectangle, and about which said slots are symmetrical; andsaid slots are at an angle to said plane, between 0° and 45°; whereinsaid slots are coplanar with the backs of two chairs when said chairs are placed back-to-back such that a first person and a second person sitting on said chairs each facing the backrest of the chair they are sitting in and each facing each other, the first person resting a forearm on said padded surface places said forearm and wrist in an appropriate position for said second person to wrap the hand and wrist of the first person. 3. The apparatus of claim two wherein said slots are at an angle to said vertical plane between 10° and 35°. 4. The apparatus of claim one further comprising: said rigid form being constructed of rotational molded plastic; andsaid rigid form having a flat top-surface; anda planar surface engaged with said flat top-surface of the rigid form; anda foam polyurethane pad engaged atop said planar surface; anda replaceable fabric cover is removably engaged with said pad; whereinthe replaceable cover may be removed for washing. 5. The apparatus of claim one further comprising: said rigid form being constructed of thermos-formed and having an one open side; anda planar surface engaged atop the one open side of said rigid form; anda foam polyurethane pad engaged atop said planar surface; anda replaceable fabric cover is removably engaged with said pad; whereinthe replaceable cover may be removed for washing. 6. The apparatus of claim one further comprising: said rigid form being constructed of injection molded plastic; andsaid rigid form having a flat top-surface; anda foam polyurethane pad co-molded proximal to said flat top-surface surface. 7. A method of manufacturing an apparatus for providing a platform for an athlete to rest a forearm on while the wrist and hand of said forearm are wrapped with tape comprising: forming a lower rigid component by thermoforming sheet plastic over a single-surface mold thus creating a formed lower rigid component; andtrimming said formed lower rigid component from thermoformed sheet, leaving an open side, andfixedly engaging a rigid planar surface material to the open end of said formed lower rigid component; andfixedly engaging padding to said rigid planar surface material; andupholstering said padding. 8. A method of wrapping an athlete's wrist and hand, the method comprising: providing the apparatus of claim one; andproviding a first person and a second person; andengaging the at least one slot with the top edge of a backrest of a chair; andsaid first person sitting in a chair facing the backrest of said chair; andsaid second person at eye-level with said first person; andsaid second person wrapping the wrist and hand of said first person. 9. An apparatus for providing a platform for an athlete to rest a forearm on while the wrist and hand of said forearm are wrapped comprising: providing a chair having a backrest, said backrest being rectangular having two vertical, short sides and two horizontal, long sides one above the other; anda first tubular form split lengthwise; anda second tubular form split lengthwise; anda rectangular rigid planar surface having a top and a bottom and a central plane parallel to the short sides of said rectangle and midway between said short sides; andsaid first tubular form and said second tubular form engaged with said bottom surface of said rectangular rigid planar surface, symmetrically about said central plane; andsaid first and second tubular forms configured at an angle that is substantially parallel with the short-vertical sides of said backrest of said chair; andsaid rigid planar surface top engaged with a pad; andsaid pad is removably engaged with a washable fabric cover; whereinremovably engaging said first and second tubular forms with the vertical short sides of a backrest of a chair provides a padded surface suitable for resting one's forearm on while one is sitting in the chair while facing the backrest. 10. The apparatus of claim nine wherein the first and second tubular forms are configured at an angle that is between 0° and 45° with respect to a vertical axis. 11. The apparatus of claim nine wherein the first and second tubular forms are configured at an angle that is between 10° and 35° with respect to a vertical axis. 12. A method of wrapping an athlete's wrist and hand, the method comprising: providing the apparatus of claim nine; andproviding a first person and a second person; andengaging the first tubular form split lengthwise, with the a side of a backrest of a chair; andsimultaneously engaging the second tubular form split lengthwise, with an opposite side of a backrest of a chair; andsaid first person sitting in said chair facing said backrest of said chair; andsaid second person at eye-level with said first person; andsaid second person wrapping the wrist and hand of said first person.
