Slackline Holding Element With Integrated Recess Anchoring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing slackline devices are compact but consist of many bulky parts, require additional anchoring, and have high safety risks and complex handling, making them difficult to assemble and store safely and efficiently for indoor and outdoor use.
Innovation Solution
A transportable slackline device with solidly designed holding elements that allow for simple assembly and safe use without fixed anchoring points, featuring a strap tensioned between two holding elements with adjustable struts and recesses for customizable configurations, enabling setup on various surfaces without additional anchoring.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional slackline devices use multiple bulky parts with fixed anchoring points, then structural stability is improved, but device complexity and storage space requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the anchoring function and support structure into a single integrated holding element. The holding element combines the anchoring mechanism (recess with clamping edge) and the support structure (strut with adjustment device) into one component, eliminating the need for separate anchoring points and reducing the total number of parts while maintaining structural stability
Solution Approach 2:
The holding element is designed as a universal component that can function both as an anchoring point and as a support structure. The same holding element can be used in various configurations (different numbers and arrangements) to create different slackline systems, making the device adaptable to multiple uses without requiring additional specialized parts
2Reliability
If traditional slackline devices require additional anchoring points, then tension stability is improved, but ease of operation and installation time worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The holding element incorporates a self-contained anchoring mechanism with a recess and clamping edge that can directly secure the strap end section without requiring external anchoring points. The strut with adjustment device allows the holding element to self-adjust and maintain tension stability, eliminating the need for separate anchoring operations and simplifying installation
Solution Approach 2:
The holding element is pre-designed with the anchoring recess and clamping edge integrated into its structure before use. This preliminary integration of the anchoring function into the holding element itself eliminates the need for separate anchoring steps during installation, reducing installation time while maintaining tension stability
3Reliability
If holding elements are positioned high for optimal slackline tension, then tensioning effectiveness is improved, but safety risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The strut is designed with an adjustment device that allows the holding element to be dynamically positioned at different heights. This enables the slackline system to be adapted to different safety requirements and user needs, allowing optimal tensioning effectiveness when needed while maintaining the ability to lower the holding element to reduce injury risk when safety is the priority

AI summary
The invention relates to a portable slackline device that allows for easy assembly and handling, safe use, and space-saving storage, and which enables the universal assembly of individual devices to expand its range of applications for indoor and outdoor use. For this purpose, the slackline device comprises a webbing that can be tensioned between portable support elements and whose respective end sections can be fixed to one of the support elements. The support elements (2) are solid bodies, each with a base (5) and a surface (3), which are spaced apart from one another by means of a strut (9). Starting from the surface (3) of the support elements (2), at least one axial recess (4) with a tensioning edge (4.1) is formed in the support elements (2), and an end section (7) of the webbing (6) is received, fixed, and tensioned in the recess (4).
