Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing resistance exercise devices are limited in their ability to accommodate a wide range of users and support structures, requiring multiple devices for different exercises and users, which is inefficient and costly.
Innovation Solution
A modular strap-based exercise device with adjustable components, including infinity loops and strap attachment mechanisms, allowing for various configurations to accommodate different users and support structures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single resistance exercise device is designed for specific support structures and exercises, then the device can provide reliable and effective resistance for those specific uses, but the device cannot accommodate different support structures or exercise types
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into separate modular components including an anchor member, elongated members, and hand grip assemblies that can be independently configured and attached to different support structures, enabling versatility without requiring a completely different device for each exercise type
Solution Approach 2:
The anchor member and elongated members are designed as universal components that can be attached to various support structures (doors, door frames, ceiling anchors, furniture) and configured for multiple exercise types through different attachment points and orientations, making a single device suitable for diverse applications
2Adaptability or versatility
If resistance exercise devices are designed for specific user sizes and strengths, then the device can provide appropriate resistance levels for those users, but the device cannot be used by users of different sizes or strengths
Solution Approach 1:
The device incorporates adjustable components including the ability to modify the effective length of elongated members, change attachment points on the anchor member, and adjust hand grip positions, allowing users to dynamically reconfigure the device to match their body dimensions and strength levels
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple resistance exercise devices are purchased to accommodate different exercises and users, then complete workout coverage is achieved, but the cost and maintenance burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
A single device incorporates multiple attachment points on the anchor member, elongated members of varying lengths, and configurable hand grip assemblies that can be arranged to perform numerous exercise types including pull-ups, rows, bicep curls, and tricep extensions, replacing the need for multiple specialized devices
Solution Approach 2:
The device components can be independently adjusted and reconfigured between different exercise sessions, allowing one device to effectively become multiple devices through modular assembly and disassembly of the hand grip assemblies and elongated members
