Fitness Roller Attachment System for Mat Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Fitness mats and training accessories are typically sold separately, making them cumbersome to transport and store, and there is a need for a solution that allows for convenient attachment, portability, and storage of these accessories with a fitness mat.
Innovation Solution
A fitness roller with detachable handles and integrated resistance bands that can be securely attached to a fitness mat via a locking mechanism, allowing for easy transportation and use, and featuring a design that allows for compact storage and use with additional weights and accessories.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If fitness mats and training accessories are sold separately, then each item can be optimized for its specific function, but they become cumbersome to transport and store
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple fitness accessories (roller, mat, resistance bands, handles with weights) into a single integrated system. The roller serves as a central hub that integrates the mat through attachment mechanisms, resistance bands through guide channels and anchors, and handles with weights through mounting brackets, eliminating the need for separate storage of multiple items.
Solution Approach 2:
The roller is designed as a multi-functional device that can perform multiple fitness functions: foam rolling, resistance band exercises, handle workouts with weights, and mat-based exercises. This universal design allows one piece of equipment to replace several separate accessories, improving portability and storage convenience.
2Volume of moving object
If multiple training accessories are integrated into one system, then portability and storage are improved, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The integrated system is designed with separable components that can be easily assembled and disassembled. The mat attaches and detaches from the roller, handles can be mounted and removed, and resistance bands can be independently installed. This segmentation allows the system to be stored in a compact form while maintaining functional complexity when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The design allows smaller components to be nested within or attached to larger ones: resistance bands are stored along the roller's length, handles with weights can be positioned along the roller body, and the mat wraps around or attaches to the roller, creating a compact nested configuration for storage and transport.
3Ease of operation
If accessories are made detachable for portability, then transportation convenience is improved, but connection reliability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment mechanisms are designed with pre-positioned connection points and alignment features. The mat has pre-placed attachment points on the roller, handles have pre-configured mounting brackets, and resistance bands have pre-installed anchors and guide channels. This preliminary configuration ensures that when components are connected, they automatically align and secure reliably without requiring complex assembly procedures.

AI summary
Aspects of the present disclosure involve an attachment system that combines a fitness mat to another fitness related accessory. The accessory attachment attaches to a fitness mat but is not limited to such attachment. The fitness accessory attachment may include an apparatus with internal weights. The fitness accessory may have detachable and adjustable handles with a removably adjustable and slidable attachment mechanism. The provided handle caps can be removed for various reasons such as using connecting pieces or adding weight to the interior of the handles. Fitness bands or any training tools available can run through the fitness accessory apparatus' core and connect to the attachment mechanism provided on the handles for training use. This system also provides compaction for travel and ease of portability.
