Collapsible Boxing Training Device with Nested Storage Cavity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional collapsible boxing training devices require separate storage of their parts, leading to increased transportation and storage costs due to their individual components.
Innovation Solution
A collapsible boxing training device design featuring a base with a cavity and a removable hit portion that can be stored within the base, utilizing a support portion with a cushion and positioning shank for enhanced mechanical strength and a hit portion that can be inflated or stuffed with material for training, allowing for compact storage and reduced weight when not in use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the boxing training device is made collapsible with separate parts, then it can be disassembled for portability, but the separate parts require independent storage increasing transportation and storage cost
Solution Approach 1:
The hit portion is designed to be stored inside the cavity of the base when not in use, creating a nested configuration where one component (hit portion) is contained within another (base). This eliminates the need for separate storage containers or bags for each component, reducing storage complexity while maintaining portability.
Solution Approach 2:
The storage function is merged into the base structure by forming a cavity within the base itself. Instead of requiring separate storage containers for the hit portion, the base serves dual purposes: as a structural support element and as a storage container, thereby simplifying the overall storage system.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate components are used for the boxing training device, then each part can be optimized for its function, but transportation and storage costs increase due to multiple items
Solution Approach 1:
By nesting the hit portion within the base cavity, the physical number of separate items to be transported and stored is reduced. Although the device maintains multiple functional components (base, support portion, hit portion), they are consolidated into a smaller number of external packages, reducing transportation and storage costs.
3Ease of operation
If the hit portion is removable from the support portion, then it can be stored in the cavity, but the connection mechanism adds complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The device is segmented into removable components (hit portion and support portion) that can be easily separated and reconnected. This segmentation allows the hit portion to be stored in the base cavity when not in use, improving storage convenience while using simple connection mechanisms that minimize added complexity.

AI summary
A boxing training device of the present invention includes a base, a support portion and a hit portion. The support portion is disposed on the base, and the hit portion is disposed on the support portion. The hit portion may he stored in a cavity defined by a bottom surface of the base while being removed from the support portion. Therefore, the storage space of the present invention is reduced.
