Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing resistance exercise devices lack the ability to be easily adjustable, limiting their versatility and effectiveness in providing a complete workout with a wide range of stances and exercises.
Innovation Solution
A combination grip for exercise devices featuring an elongated member with adjustable length, allowing for customizable resistance through a sliding hand grip and lengthening mechanisms, enabling various exercises by adjusting the device's length and stance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the exercise device uses a fixed-length strap, then the device structure is simple, but the device cannot be adjusted for different exercises and user stances
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the strap length adjustable rather than fixed. The elongated member allows the loop length to be changed by sliding the hand grip to different positions along the strap, enabling the same device to adapt to various exercise requirements and user stances without changing the overall device structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements universality by designing a single exercise device that can perform multiple exercises through adjustable strap length. The combination grip with movable hand grip allows the device to accommodate different user needs and exercise types, making one device serve multiple functions rather than requiring separate devices for each exercise.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the exercise device uses a fixed grip position, then the device structure is simple, but the device cannot provide customizable resistance for different users
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by allowing the hand grip to move to different positions along the elongated member. This dynamic positioning enables users to adjust the loop length to match their specific exercise requirements and body dimensions, providing customizable resistance without complicating the basic device structure.

AI summary
An exercise device having many advantageous features is described, including the ability to provide a combination of grips to the user, and the ability to easily mount the device to a wall. One exercise device described is an inelastic resistance device having a combination grip that includes hand grips and a loop. The hand grip and loop may be used as a foot grip, or alternatively, just the hand grip can be used by the hand. The selection of a specific accessory grip allows the user to exercise by specific body parts and provides for a greater number of possible exercises.
