Modular Mobile Outdoor Gym Mount for Stable Portable Training
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current outdoor gym equipment is limited to specific locations due to being bolted down, preventing users from performing weight-free training at any chosen location.
Innovation Solution
A mobile outdoor gym system featuring a modular, rigid spire that can be mounted to a vehicle hitch or wall, equipped with upright support posts, anchor loops, and adjustable anchor loops, allowing for versatile resistance tube and resistance band weight training anywhere.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If outdoor gym equipment is bolted down and fixed in place, then the equipment stability and security are improved, but the equipment cannot be moved to different locations
Solution Approach 1:
The gym equipment is divided into modular components including upright support posts, anchor loops, resistance bands, and a base plate that can be independently assembled and disassembled. This segmentation allows the equipment to be stable when assembled yet easily moved by separating into transportable modules.
Solution Approach 2:
The equipment transitions from a static fixed state to a dynamic portable state through the use of removable anchor loops and adjustable upright posts. The system can be configured as stable as needed during use, then easily dismantled and relocated to different positions or storage areas.
2Adaptability or versatility
If outdoor gym equipment is made portable and movable, then the equipment can be used at any location, but the equipment stability and security decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The base plate is pre-configured with multiple anchor loop positions and the upright posts are pre-marked with alignment features. This preliminary setup ensures that when the equipment is assembled at any location, it achieves proper stability without requiring complex adjustment or specialized installation procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The anchor loops serve as intermediary elements that connect the upright support posts to the base plate. These intermediaries provide secure attachment points that maintain equipment stability while allowing the entire system to be easily assembled and disassembled for portability.
3Device complexity
If outdoor gym equipment is designed for single-user use, then the equipment simplicity is improved, but the equipment cannot accommodate multiple users or exercises simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The equipment is designed with multiple anchor loops at different heights and positions on the upright posts, allowing a single piece of equipment to support various resistance band configurations for different users and exercise types. The same basic structure accommodates multiple users simultaneously performing different exercises.
Solution Approach 2:
The equipment allows users to change parameters such as anchor loop height, resistance band length, and exercise configuration to accommodate different user needs. These parameter adjustments enable the simple basic structure to provide diverse workout options for multiple users without increasing fundamental equipment complexity.
