Fight Ring Center Structure for Hanging Assist Mechanisms
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current fight ring structures lack the ability to securely and safely hang a rope or assist mechanism at a pre-determined hanging point, limiting the options for fighters and viewer entertainment in martial arts and wrestling events.
Innovation Solution
A Special fight ring center structure comprising at least three vertical columns connected to converging horizontal beams, a convergence plate for hanging a rope at a predetermined height, and an optional connection to a nearby building structure, allowing for easy installation and versatile attachment to different ring dimensions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a traditional fight ring structure is used, then the structure is simple and easy to install, but it cannot securely hang a rope or assist mechanism at a pre-determined hanging point
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides the fight ring structure into separate functional components: a traditional ring structure and a separate center support structure. The center support structure is segmented into vertical columns, horizontal beams, and a convergence plate, allowing it to be independently installed and removed without affecting the main ring structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The convergence plate serves as an intermediary component that connects the vertical columns and horizontal beams, providing a secure attachment point for the rope or assist mechanism. This intermediary structure enables the hanging function without requiring modifications to the traditional ring structure.
2Reliability
If a center support structure is added to enable rope hanging, then secure hanging capability is achieved, but installation time and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The center support structure is designed as separate, modular components that can be independently assembled. The vertical columns, horizontal beams, and convergence plate are segmented parts that can be quickly connected using simple fastening mechanisms, reducing overall installation time.
Solution Approach 2:
The center support structure is pre-assembled as a complete unit before installation at the fight ring. This preliminary assembly allows for quality control and reduces on-site installation time, as the structure only needs to be positioned and connected to the ring rather than assembled piece by piece.
3Reliability
If the center structure is designed for specific ring dimensions, then secure attachment is achieved, but adaptability to different ring configurations is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The center support structure is designed with universal attachment mechanisms that can accommodate different ring configurations and dimensions. The horizontal beams and convergence plate are designed to interface with various ring structures, making the same center support structure adaptable to square, circular, and other shaped rings.
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment mechanisms incorporate adjustable and movable components that allow the center support structure to adapt to different ring configurations. The vertical columns and horizontal beams can be positioned and secured at various locations depending on the specific ring design requirements.

AI summary
A special fight ring center structure for safely and securely hanging a rope or assist mechanism at a pre-determined hanging point above a traditional fighter ring for use by the wrestlers for additional athleticism and entertainment of the viewers. The special fight ring includes at least three essentially vertical columns connected to one end of each of at least three converging and essentially horizontal beams; a convergence plate connected to the three horizontal beams; and a hanging means connected to the convergence plate and sized to a length to hang at a predetermined height above a mat of the traditional fighter ring.
