Solution Overview
Problem
Existing workout equipment is often single-function, requiring separate purchases and occupying large storage space, making it economically burdensome and inconvenient to use for multiple workout types.
Innovation Solution
A collapsible, bendable, and highly elastic multifunctional curved training device with U-shaped main bodies and arched helical springs, connected by flexible sleeves, allowing for various workout positions such as push-ups, arm training, and abdominal crunches.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple types of workout equipment are purchased separately to meet different training requirements, then the training functionality is improved, but the economic burden and storage space requirement increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple workout equipment types into a single integrated device. The training device includes a support bar, connecting rods, and a central support bar that can be configured for different exercise types including push-ups, pull-ups, and abdominal exercises, eliminating the need to purchase and store multiple separate equipment pieces
Solution Approach 2:
The training device is designed with universal functionality to perform multiple workout types. The support bar and connecting rods can be adjusted and reconfigured to provide different training functions, allowing one device to replace several specialized equipment pieces while maintaining versatility
2Adaptability or versatility
If large-volume workout equipment with multiple functions is used, then the training functionality is improved, but the storage space occupied and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The training device is divided into modular segments including the support bar, connecting rods, and central support bar that can be independently adjusted. This segmentation allows each component to be easily positioned and configured for different exercises without requiring complex assembly or adjustment mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
The device incorporates dynamic elements such as the bent connecting rods that can flex and the support bar that can be positioned at various heights and angles. This dynamic design allows the equipment to adapt to different exercise requirements while maintaining ease of operation through simple positional adjustments rather than complex mechanical changes

AI summary
A multifunctional curved training structure includes a main body in an U shape, and a second main body in an U shape. A first supporting bracket is provided between a first left branch and a first right branch of the first main body. A second supporting bracket is provided between a second left branch and a second right branch of the second main body. A left elastic connecting member arched in shape includes a left spring and a left flexible sleeve enveloping the left spring. Two ends of the left elastic connecting member are respectively connected to the first left branch and the second left branch. An right elastic member arched in shape includes a right spring and a right flexible sleeve enveloping the right spring. Two ends of the right elastic connecting member are respectively connected to the first right branch and the second right branch. Thus, a user can selectively use the multifunctional curved training structure as an auxiliary tool for multiple workout types including push-ups, arm training and abdominal crunches for different workout patterns.
