Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mini-trampolines lack accessibility and stabilization features, particularly for users of varying ages and physical abilities, and are not compact or easily storable.
Innovation Solution
A mini-trampoline design featuring a base support frame offset from the trampoline mat with horizontal and vertical support members, suction cups, and a T-shaped support bar with handles, providing enhanced stabilization and accessibility through adjustable positioning and secure attachment to surfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional mini-trampoline design is used, then the structure is simple and compact, but accessibility and stabilization features are insufficient for users of varying ages and physical abilities
Solution Approach 1:
The mini-trampoline is divided into distinct functional segments: a base support frame with vertical support members for stabilization, a separate T-shaped support bar assembly for accessibility, and the trampoline mat system. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function optimally while maintaining overall adaptability for different user needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The T-shaped support bar is designed to be movable and adjustable, allowing it to be positioned at different locations around the trampoline mat. This dynamic positioning capability enables the support structure to adapt to various user requirements and physical abilities, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and adaptability.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the base support frame is offset from the trampoline mat, then stabilization is improved, but the device occupies more space
Solution Approach 1:
The base support frame is positioned offset from the trampoline mat in the horizontal plane, creating a circumferential arrangement of vertical support members. This dimensional offset allows the frame to provide stabilization through a wider base without significantly increasing the vertical profile or overall footprint of the device, enabling improved stability with minimal space occupation.

AI summary
A mini-trampoline is disclosed. In one embodiment, a base support frame is circumferentially offset from a trampoline mat. The base support frame includes a horizontal support frame with vertical support members extending subjacently therefrom. Resilient members circumextend from the trampoline mat to the horizontal support frame. Each of the vertical support members includes a suction cup having a suction cup locking mechanism at a lower end. A support assembly is secured to the base support frame and includes a T-shaped support bar having handles cantilevering toward the trampoline mat.
