Solution Overview

Problem

Existing spaces for physical activities are limited by high costs and space constraints, often requiring multi-purpose facilities that cannot efficiently accommodate a variety of exercises, particularly those involving trampolines, due to storage and layout issues.

Innovation Solution

A modular space design featuring a raised platform with integrated trampoline housings and storage rooms, allowing for flexible use of trampolines and other equipment, with detachable covers to create a seamless surface and quick access to storage, enabling a range of activities without disrupting the exercise area.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If trampolines are stored in a separate storage room, then storage space is provided, but accessibility and quick deployment are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage capacityVSAvoiddeployment time
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The trampoline is nested within the raised platform structure itself. The platform is designed with an internal cavity or compartment that can accommodate the trampoline, allowing it to be stored within the very structure that supports it during use. This eliminates the need for separate storage rooms while maintaining quick accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions from a static storage solution to a dynamic one where the trampoline can be quickly deployed and stowed. The raised platform incorporates mechanisms (such as removable panels, lift systems, or foldable sections) that enable rapid access to and retrieval of the trampoline, reducing deployment time while maintaining storage capacity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the platform surface is made continuous and seamless, then safety and comfort are improved, but access to storage space is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesurface safetyVSAvoidstorage access
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The raised platform is segmented into multiple sections or modules. The surface appears continuous and seamless during normal use, but specific segments can be independently opened, removed, or lifted to provide access to the storage cavity beneath. This segmentation allows the platform to maintain its safe, uninterrupted appearance while enabling easy access to stored equipment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If the raised platform is designed to accommodate trampolines, then versatility for physical activities is improved, but space for other exercises is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveactivity varietyVSAvoidexercise space
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The raised platform is designed as a multi-functional structure that can accommodate various physical activities. It can hold trampolines when needed, but the same platform can also support other exercise equipment, serve as an elevated workout area, or be configured for different types of physical therapy or recreational activities. This universality ensures that the space remains versatile without sacrificing area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

The invention concerns a movement space for carrying out physical activities, comprising a raised floor (3) having a support structure (33) bearing on the ground (2) of the movement space. The support structure supports a horizontal platform (30) comprising a plurality of openings and comprises support elements (36) for supporting detachable covers (4) in order to cover these openings. These covers are configured to cover these openings (32) in such a way as to form a substantially uninterrupted raised surface (50) on which an individual can walk and carry out physical activities.The support structure (33), the platform (30) and each opening (32) are dimensioned so as to form a housing (38), delimited vertically by the ground (2) and the platform (30), in which a trampoline (60) can be housed, the elastic surface (61) of which can be accessed through the opening (31).
