Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Functional training rigs are typically permanent structures that occupy significant space and are not suitable for temporary or multi-purpose areas, limiting the range of exercise movements and safety due to inadequate temporary setups.
Innovation Solution
A portable functional training rig kit comprising a box with removable and interlocking components, including upright posts, a transverse bar, and angled support members that can be easily assembled and disassembled, allowing for convenient storage and use in various settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If a functional training rig is made as a permanent structure, then stability and strength are improved, but the ability to be relocated and stored is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The training rig is divided into separate modular components including uprights, crossbars, and support members that can be independently assembled and disassembled. Each component is designed to fit within the storage box when not in use, enabling easy relocation while maintaining structural integrity during assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The design allows shorter components to be placed within or alongside longer components, and all components are designed to nest within the storage box. The uprights, crossbars, and support members are dimensioned to fit efficiently within the box confines, providing compact storage while maintaining full functionality when assembled.
2Length of moving object
If the training rig components are made longer to provide adequate training space, then the functional capability is improved, but the ability to store in a compact box is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The uprights are constructed from multiple elongate members that can be connected end-to-end to achieve the required height. This segmentation allows the final assembled length to be sufficient for training purposes while the individual segments are short enough to fit within the storage box.
Solution Approach 2:
The support members are configured to extend diagonally from the uprights to the ground, utilizing the vertical dimension and ground plane to provide structural stability without requiring excessive horizontal space. This angular configuration maximizes the use of available space both during assembly and storage.
3Ease of operation
If the training rig is designed for easy assembly and disassembly, then the ease of operation is improved, but the structural stability is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The connection mechanisms combine multiple functions into single components: the same joints that enable easy assembly also provide structural connection points, and the support members simultaneously provide both assembly simplicity and structural stability through their angular configuration and ground engagement.

AI summary
A functional training rig kit includes a box and a plurality of components adapted to fit within the box. The components include at least two posts adapted to extend in an upright direction from the box, the posts each having a length greater than the longest dimension of the box and including at least two elongate members dimensioned to fit within the box and adapted to be removably fastened together to form one of the posts. The components also include a bar adapted to extend transversely between adjacent posts, the bar being dimensioned to fit within the box. The components further include at least one angled support member for each of the posts, each support member being adapted to fit within the box and provided with structure for securing the support member to one of the posts and with structure to engage a ground surface.
