Pre-tensioned Exercising Device for Multi-muscle Engagement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing exercising devices do not effectively enhance the training effect during weight lifting, particularly in engaging multiple muscle groups simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
A device comprising a first and second element connected via a pre-tensioned force resistance device, allowing for a snap-on connection to a rod, with a compressible material that provides adjustable resistance by changing the distance of the second end from the longitudinal center axis, thereby engaging muscles in the lower and upper arm regions during weight lifting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional weight lifting is performed without additional exercising devices, then the training effect is limited to basic muscle engagement, but the device complexity and ease of operation are maintained at simple levels
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple exercising functions into a single integrated device that attaches to weight rods. The device merges resistance training, grip training, and rotational training capabilities into one unit, allowing users to engage multiple muscle groups simultaneously while maintaining simple device attachment and operation
Solution Approach 2:
The exercising device is designed with universal applicability to standard weight rods and provides multiple training functions including resistance exercise through the force resistance body, grip strengthening through the handle, and rotational training through the movable connection. This multi-functionality enhances training effectiveness without requiring multiple separate devices
2Reliability
If a pre-tensioned force resistance device is added to engage multiple muscle groups, then the training effect is enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:

3Reliability
If the second element is positioned at an angle in the initial state to engage shoulder muscles, then the training effect is improved, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs dynamic positioning where the second element can assume different orientations during exercise. The movable connection device allows the second element to transition from an angled initial position that engages shoulder muscles to a compressed position during exercise, providing dynamic adaptability without complex mechanical structures
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The device increases the training effect by providing progressive resistance that engages muscles in the biceps, triceps, and shoulder regions, enhancing the overall exercising experience compared to traditional weight lifting without the device.
Implementation Method 1
The force resistance body is made of a compressible material configured to be gradually more compressed as the first and second elements are pressed towards each other

AI summary
The present invention relates to an exercising device (1), comprising a first element (10) having a longitudinal center axis (110) and a second element (30) having a first end (30a) movably connected to the first element (10) via a connection device (40), and a second, free, end (30b). A pre-tensioned force resistance device (50) is connected to the first and second elements (10, 30). The exercising device (1) is configured to be in an initial state, in which the second end (30b) is provided with a first distance (Di) from the longitudinal center axis (110). The exercising device (1) is configured to be in a compressed state, in which the second end (30b) is provided with a second distance (Dc) from the longitudinal center axis (110), where the second distance (Dc) is shorter than the first distance (Di). The pre-tensioned force resistance device (50) is configured to force the second end (30b) of the second element (30) towards the initial state. The first element (10) comprises a connection interface (15) for connection to a rod (R).
