Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing exercise devices are not cost-effective or convenient for performing a wide variety of exercises, as they often require multiple devices and lack the ability to fold flat for storage.
Innovation Solution
A multifunctional foldable exercise device with a frame that includes adjustable dip and pull-up bars, an inclined and flat bench, and a detachable panel for various exercises, which can fold flat for storage and serve as a step platform without additional weights.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate exercise devices are used to provide various exercises, then exercise versatility is improved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple exercise functions (dip bars, pull-up bars, flat bench, inclined bench, crunch support, step platform) into a single integrated frame structure. The frame serves as a common support for all exercise components, allowing users to perform various exercises with one device rather than multiple separate devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The frame is designed with universal functionality to support multiple exercise types. By incorporating adjustable bars, detachable panels, and configurable support structures, the single device can adapt to provide dip exercises, pull-up exercises, flat bench exercises, inclined bench exercises, crunch exercises, and step exercises.

3Stability of the object's composition
If exercise devices are designed with fixed configurations, then structural stability is improved, but adaptability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The device incorporates adjustable and detachable components that allow the stable frame structure to be dynamically reconfigured. The dip bars and pull-up bars can be adjusted to different heights and positions, the panel can be detached and repositioned, and the support structures can be reconfigured to provide different exercise configurations while maintaining structural stability.
4Ease of manufacture
If exercise devices are designed with fixed configurations, then ease of manufacture is improved, but adaptability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The device incorporates adjustable and detachable components that allow the stable frame structure to be dynamically reconfigured. The dip bars and pull-up bars can be adjusted to different heights and positions, the panel can be detached and repositioned, and the support structures can be reconfigured to provide different exercise configurations while maintaining structural stability.

AI summary
A multipurpose exercise device including a frame and a panel. The frame includes a plurality of legs, and a support assembly that secures the legs in a vertical position, or allows the legs to freely rotate to allow the frame to fold flat. The support assembly includes an adjustment mechanism to adjust a distance between the legs. A panel is detachably securable to the frame in a flat or inclined position.
