Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing push-up boards have fixed handles mounted on the base plate, then the structure is simple, but the distance between handles is fixed making it inconvenient to choose different distances and positions for push-up exercises
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the handle mounting system adjustable rather than fixed. The base plate includes multiple mounting holes arranged in different positions, allowing users to dynamically reposition handles according to different exercise requirements. This transforms a static structure into a dynamic one that can adapt to varying training needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies segmentation by separating the handle mounting function from a single fixed position. Instead of one fixed mounting location, the base plate is divided into multiple mounting holes distributed across different positions, allowing independent placement of handles at various locations to achieve different hand distances and angles.
2Ease of operation
If existing push-up boards are made with solid non-foldable structure, then the structural strength is sufficient, but they are bulky and require a lot of space making them not easy to carry
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the base plate into two separable parts that can be folded relative to each other. This segmentation allows the push-up board to be collapsed into a compact form for easy storage and transport, while maintaining structural integrity when assembled for use.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies dynamics by introducing a folding mechanism that transforms the rigid structure into a dynamic, collapsible form. The base plate can transition between an extended stable configuration during exercise and a folded compact configuration for storage, adapting its form factor based on operational needs.
3Reliability
If existing push-up boards have smooth bottom surface, then the manufacturing is simple, but they may easily slip when in use affecting the safety of use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by adding anti-slip plugs only at specific locations on the bottom surface where contact with the ground occurs during use. Rather than making the entire bottom surface complex, localized anti-slip features are incorporated at critical points, maintaining simplicity elsewhere while providing necessary friction for stability.

AI summary
A foldable push-up board includes a base plate, two handles that are each detachably fixed to the base plate, and at least one anti-slip plug detachably fixed to the base plate, the bottom portion of the anti-slip plug protruding from the bottom-facing surface of the base plate. The base plate has a first plate portion, a second plate portion, and a hinge connecting the first plate portion and the second plate portion. Each handle has a U-shaped connecting section having protruding posts configured to be detachably fixed to the base plate, and a holding section that closes an opening of the U-shaped connecting section.
