Door-Mounted Striking Target With Adjustable Angle and Impact Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing striking apparatuses are difficult to move and are often fixed to specific locations due to permanent attachments, and portable versions lack a sturdy structure to withstand forceful blows effectively.
Innovation Solution
A striking apparatus with a rotatable target secured to a door end assembly using a clamp and fastener system, allowing adjustable angle and height settings, and incorporating compression loops to absorb impacts, which can be easily relocated by adjusting the clamps and fasteners.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the striking apparatus is attached to the ceiling, floor, and/or wall using permanent embedded clasps, then the apparatus is securely fixed, but the apparatus becomes difficult to move and is subjected to certain fixed locations
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is divided into separate components: a door end assembly that can be independently positioned and a striking apparatus that attaches to it. This segmentation allows the apparatus to be relocated by simply moving the door end assembly along the door frame, rather than permanently fixing both components together.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from a static permanent attachment to a dynamic reconfigurable connection. The door end assembly can slide along the door frame and be repositioned, allowing the striking apparatus to adapt to different locations while maintaining secure attachment through the clamp and fastener mechanism.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the striking apparatus is made portable, then the apparatus can be easily moved, but inadequate structure is provided that allows the apparatus to fully move unintentionally
Solution Approach 1:
The door end assembly combines multiple functions into a single structure: it provides the mounting interface for the striking apparatus, attaches to the door frame, and incorporates the clamp and fastener system. This merging creates a compact, stable portable unit that can be easily relocated while maintaining structural integrity during use.
Solution Approach 2:
The door end assembly acts as an intermediary between the striking apparatus and the door frame. It provides a stable mounting interface for the apparatus while allowing easy relocation by sliding along the door frame, thus mediating between the need for portability and the need for stable attachment during use.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the striking apparatus is secured using a clamp and fastener system, then the apparatus can be easily relocated, but the structure may not provide adequate support for forceful blows
Solution Approach 1:
The door end assembly is pre-positioned and secured to the door frame before the striking apparatus is attached. This preliminary action ensures that the mounting structure is already in place and ready to withstand impact forces, while still allowing easy relocation by simply moving the pre-assembled unit along the door frame.
