Multipurpose Exercise Stand with Integrated Dip and Pull Bars
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current exercise equipment lacks a versatile and compact solution for performing both compound push and pull training exercises effectively, with angular movements being isolated and not addressing muscular symmetry and functional balance adequately.
Innovation Solution
A multipurpose exercise stand with a horizontal push-training bar assembly and a vertical pull-training bar assembly, utilizing rigid polymer pipes and pipe fittings, and longitudinal spacer bars, allowing for various grip configurations and orientations to accommodate different exercises, including dip exercises, pull-ups, and row exercises, with optional independent grip handles for added variation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate exercise equipment are used for push and pull training, then exercise variety and effectiveness are improved, but device complexity and space requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines push-training bar assembly and pull-training bar assembly into a single integrated exercise stand structure. The push-training bar assembly with dip grip segments and pull-training bar assembly with grip handles are merged through shared base assembly and support structures, allowing users to perform both push and pull exercises with one device rather than separate equipment
Solution Approach 2:
The exercise stand is designed as a universal device that performs multiple functions: push exercises (dips, tricep extensions), pull exercises (rows, pull-ups), and accommodates various grip configurations. The bar assemblies can be positioned and configured for different exercise types, making the single device versatile for comprehensive upper body training
2Stability of the object's composition
If traditional exercise equipment is used, then structural stability is improved, but portability and ease of assembly deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The exercise stand is divided into separable components including push-training bar assembly, pull-training bar assembly, base assembly, and spacer bars. These segmented parts can be easily assembled and disassembled while maintaining structural stability when connected, enabling portability without sacrificing stability during use
Solution Approach 2:
The bar assemblies are designed to be dynamically configurable within the stand structure. The push-training bar assembly and pull-training bar assembly can be positioned at different heights and orientations using the spacer bars and base assembly, allowing the structure to adapt to different exercise requirements while maintaining stability
3Volume of moving object
If compact exercise equipment is designed, then portability is improved, but exercise range of motion may be limited
Solution Approach 1:
The exercise stand utilizes vertical space through its base assembly and spacer bar configuration, allowing the bar assemblies to be positioned at elevated heights. This vertical dimension enables full range of motion for dips and rows without requiring a large horizontal footprint, maintaining compactness while preserving exercise effectiveness
Solution Approach 2:
The bar assemblies are designed with dynamic positioning capabilities through the spacer bar system, allowing adjustment of bar height and orientation. This enables the compact device to accommodate various exercise ranges and user body sizes without sacrificing movement freedom

AI summary
A multipurpose exercise stand for compound fitness training includes a push-training bar assembly, and a base assembly adapted for locating the push-training bar assembly above a supporting surface. The push-training bar assembly includes first and second sets of parallel inside and outside dip grip segments. The first and second sets are sufficiently spaced apart to accommodate body lifting and body lowering movement of a user performing a dip exercise while gripping either of the two inside dip grip segments or the two outside dip grip segments.
