Moveable Heavy Bag Stand with Counterweight and Locking Wheels
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mobile punching bag supports are cumbersome to move, often wobble during use, and may interfere with access to the bag due to their design, requiring additional weights or broad bases that complicate relocation and usage.
Innovation Solution
A mobile bag stand with a base comprising intersecting legs, a side brace, and a support bracket, featuring adjustable counterweights, wheels with locks, and a stable arm structure that allows easy movement and secure positioning without additional anchoring.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If conventional mobile bag supports use additional weights or broad bases to prevent wobbling, then stability is improved, but device complexity and ease of movement deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies counterweight by positioning the bag support at a distal end of an arm that extends from a base, creating a balanced structure where the base acts as a counterweight to the hanging bag. This eliminates the need for additional weights while maintaining stability during use.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a traditional broad-base design to a three-dimensional structure with legs, an arm, and bag support positioned at different spatial levels. This dimensional arrangement provides stability through spatial distribution rather than horizontal expansion, reducing the footprint while maintaining stability.
2Stability of the object's composition
If conventional mobile bag supports use additional weights to prevent wobbling, then stability is improved, but ease of movement deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The base serves as a counterweight that provides stability without requiring additional weights. The balanced structure allows the entire unit to be moved as one piece, improving ease of movement compared to designs requiring separate weight adjustments.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the base, arm, and bag support into an integrated structure where the base inherently provides stability through its design. This eliminates the need for separate weights, making the unit easier to move while maintaining stability.
3Device complexity
If the bag support structure keeps the bag close to the supporting hardware, then structural simplicity is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to interference with access
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses dimensional separation by extending the arm horizontally from the base and positioning the bag support at the distal end. This spatial arrangement moves the bag away from the base structure, providing user access space while maintaining a relatively simple structural design.
Solution Approach 2:
The arm structure allows for potential adjustment and movement, creating dynamic spacing between the bag and base. This enables optimization of access space while maintaining structural simplicity through a flexible rather than rigid configuration.
