Portable Wall-Mounted Exercise Station with Modular Anchoring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing exercise stations are not portable or removable, limiting their flexibility and usability for users of varying ages, heights, or physical abilities, as they often require adjustments and are not easily adaptable for different exercises.
Innovation Solution
A portable and removable exercise station with an elongated anchoring member secured to a wall using mounting brackets, featuring pre-drilled holes and adjustable anchoring modules, allowing multiple resistance band positions and attachments, including a knot buster for knot management and strap boost for leg exercises, enabling versatile and easy setup.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If exercise stations use door-mounted straps and clamps, then they can be attached to doors, but they are not portable or removable and require adjustments for different users
Solution Approach 1:
The exercise station is divided into modular components: an elongated anchoring member with multiple pre-drilled holes, separate resistance bands, and optional accessories like knot busters and strap boots. This segmentation allows users to quickly reconfigure the system for different exercises and user needs without complex adjustments.
Solution Approach 2:
The elongated anchoring member serves multiple functions: it provides multiple attachment points for resistance bands at different heights, supports various exercises (arm and leg exercises simultaneously), and accommodates different user sizes without requiring adjustments. The pre-drilled holes at standardized intervals enable universal use across different user populations.
2Ease of operation
If exercise stations use rail systems with sliding wall mount channels, then position adjustment is enabled, but the system becomes less portable and requires more complex installation
Solution Approach 1:
The anchoring member comes with pre-drilled holes at standardized intervals before use. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need for on-site drilling, measuring, and complex installation procedures associated with rail systems, while still providing multiple position options for resistance band attachment.
3Stability of the object's composition
If exercise stations are designed for permanent mounting, then stability is improved, but portability and flexibility are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system transitions from static permanent installation to dynamic removable mounting. The elongated anchoring member can be securely mounted using lag bolts for stable installation when needed, or easily removed and relocated for portability. This dynamic approach allows the system to adapt between stability and mobility based on user needs.

AI summary
A portable and removable mounted exercise station includes an elongated anchoring member disposed on a surface of an external stationary object, such as a wall. The anchoring module has a doorknob shaped cleat, a plurality of knobs, and brackets formed in both ends of the elongated anchoring member. A corner mounting adapter to mount the station in a corner where two walls meet. A resistance band connects to one of the knobs to provide resistance during an exercise routine. A clip allows for quick connect and disconnect of the resistance band to the station.
