Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing exercise devices do not effectively target and tone upper body muscles, lacking a portable and versatile solution for exercising at any time or place without the need for a fitness center.
Innovation Solution
An exercise vest with strategically placed D-rings on the front and rear sides for attaching resistance bands, adjustable chest straps, and side straps, along with a removable liner and belt loops for secure positioning, allowing for adjustable resistance and simultaneous upper and lower body exercises.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If exercise devices are designed to target upper body muscles, then exercise effectiveness is improved, but portability and versatility are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The exercise vest integrates multiple exercise functions into a single portable device. D-rings are strategically positioned on the front, rear, and sides of the vest body to accommodate resistance bands for various upper body exercises including chest press, rowing, shoulder press, and lateral raises. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for multiple separate exercise devices while maintaining portability.
Solution Approach 2:
The exercise system is segmented into modular components: a vest body with strategically positioned D-rings, detachable resistance bands, and adjustable straps. This segmentation allows users to carry only the necessary components for their workout, improving portability while maintaining exercise effectiveness through targeted resistance application at specific muscle groups.
2Ease of operation
If exercise devices are designed for home use, then accessibility is improved, but exercise variety is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The vest body incorporates D-rings at multiple locations (front, rear, sides) that can accommodate various resistance band exercises. Users can perform chest press, rowing, shoulder press, lateral raises, and other upper body exercises using the same portable device, providing gym-level exercise variety at home without requiring specialized equipment for each exercise type.
3Stability of the object's composition
If resistance bands are attached to fixed positions, then exercise stability is improved, but adjustability is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The exercise vest features adjustable chest straps with buckles and side straps that can be modified to fit different user sizes and exercise positions. The D-rings are strategically positioned at fixed locations on the vest body to provide stable attachment points for resistance bands, while the adjustable straps allow dynamic adaptation to different users and exercise requirements, maintaining both stability and adjustability.

AI summary
An exercise vest to exercise and tone targeted muscles of the upper body including a vest body having a zippered front side and a shoulder portion engageable to the rear side proximal the top side for arm hole size adjustment. A removable, washable liner is provided. Exercise resistance bands interchangeably clip onto a plurality of D-rings strategically disposed on each of the front and rear sides. Length-adjustable chest straps secure the right and left portions together and properly position the vest body for use. At least one side strap is disposed across a vertical channel disposed between each arm hole and a bottom side of the vest body, to adjust the width of the vest body to a user's chest size. A belt slidingly engaging belt loops secures the vest body in a proper position on the user and prevents the vest body from sliding upwardly during use.
