Solution Overview

Problem

Existing striking apparatuses are difficult to move and are often fixed to specific locations due to permanent attachments, and portable versions lack a sturdy structure to withstand forceful blows effectively.

Innovation Solution

An adjustable striking apparatus that can be mounted to a door end assembly, featuring a rotatable target secured by clamps and fasteners, allowing for adjustable angles and height, and utilizing compression loops to absorb impacts, which can be easily relocated.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If permanent embedded clasps are used to attach the striking apparatus to ceiling, floor, or wall, then the apparatus is securely fixed, but the apparatus becomes difficult to move and is subjected to certain fixed locations

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesecure attachmentVSAvoidrelocatability

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting system transitions from static permanent attachments to a dynamic system using removable clamps and adjustable positioning mechanisms, allowing the apparatus to be easily relocated and repositioned while maintaining secure attachment during use

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting system is divided into separate modular components including clamps, adjustment mechanisms, and attachment points, enabling independent adjustment and relocation of different parts of the apparatus

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If portable stand is used to support the striking apparatus, then the apparatus is easy to move, but inadequate structure is provided that allows the apparatus to fully move unintentionally

Engineering Contradiction:

ImproveportabilityVSAvoidstructural stability

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The support structure incorporates adjustable and lockable components that can transition between a portable state for easy movement and a locked state that provides structural stability to prevent unintentional movement during use

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting system allows adjustment of parameters such as clamp position, height, and angle to optimize both portability and structural stability based on the specific installation location and usage requirements

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to a striking apparatus and provides multiple configurations to that apparatus. More particularly, this disclosure describes the striking apparatus having a rotatable target that may be secured on a door end assembly. In one illustrative embodiment, the target may be coupled to a rotatable member having a plurality of compression loops there between. A support may lock the rotatable member, and thus the target, at an angle through a bolt pattern spaced at forty-five (45) degree to fifteen (15) degree increments. The support may be secured to the door end assembly through at least one clamp and at least one fastener.
