Pivoting Exercise Stand Structure for Stable Storage Conversion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing exercise equipment lacks versatility and portability, as it often requires significant space and is not easily adaptable to different workout routines or storage configurations.
Innovation Solution
A free-standing exercise stand with a pivotable leg, foldable support, and extension leg, allowing for removable exercise attachments that can be configured between exercise and storage modes, facilitating compact storage and easy transport.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If exercise equipment is designed to be stable and support various attachments, then reliability and versatility are improved, but device complexity and space requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The stand is divided into modular components including a base assembly, upright members, and attachment assemblies that can be independently configured. The attachment assembly includes separate handlebars, padding, and mounting mechanisms that can be adjusted or removed independently, allowing versatility without requiring a completely complex integrated structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The upright members are designed with multiple attachment points and universal mounting mechanisms that can accommodate various exercise attachments such as handlebars, padding, and resistance bands. The base assembly can support different configurations of upright members, allowing a single stand structure to serve multiple exercise functions.
2Reliability
If exercise equipment is designed for stability during use, then reliability is improved, but portability and ease of storage deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The stand incorporates adjustable and movable components including upright members that can be repositioned along the base, attachment assemblies that can be quickly mounted or removed, and padding that can be adjusted or detached. This dynamic design allows the structure to be stable during exercise use while enabling easy reconfiguration and compact storage when not in use.
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment assemblies are designed to nest within or alongside the upright members when not in use. The handlebars and padding can be positioned within the frame structure, and the overall design allows components to be stored in a compact configuration that maintains structural integrity while minimizing storage space requirements.

AI summary
A stand configured to be couplable to an attachment member includes a pivotable leg and at least one support foot. The pivotable leg and the at least one support foot are each pivotably coupled to a hinge assembly. An exercise mode includes the pivotable leg pivoted rearward and the at least one support foot pivoted downward to support the pivotable leg in the exercise mode. A storage mode includes the pivotable leg pivoted forward and the at least one support foot pivoted upward.
