Solution Overview

Problem

Current boxing and MMA training targets are unstable and prone to fracturing, leading to unrealistic fight experiences and joint injuries due to their tendency to move and fall, lacking a stable and realistic alternative in the market.

Innovation Solution

A wall-mounted, height-adjustable Spring Impact Boxing Dummy utilizing springs to provide a realistic workout experience, with adjustable tracks and pads for enhanced stability and joint protection, allowing for accurate and intense striking motions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If traditional boxing targets are used, then they are simple in structure, but they are unstable and prone to fracturing during vigorous training

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The boxing dummy is divided into multiple independent components: a stable wall-mounted frame structure, separate spring mechanisms, modular padding sections, and adjustable height components. This segmentation allows each part to be optimized for its specific function while contributing to overall stability without requiring the entire structure to be overly complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines multiple functions into a unified wall-mounted system: the frame provides structural stability, springs provide reactive movement and joint protection, padding provides target surfaces, and adjustment mechanisms provide versatility. This merging creates a comprehensive solution that achieves stability while managing complexity through integrated design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If traditional boxing targets are used, then they are easy to manufacture, but they move and fall over creating unrealistic fight experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverealistic training experienceVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates dynamic spring mechanisms that allow the boxing dummy to move realistically in response to strikes while remaining anchored to the wall. This controlled movement creates an authentic fight experience without the target falling over, achieving reliability through dynamic stability rather than complete rigidity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The spring mechanisms act as intermediaries between the fixed wall-mounted frame and the movable boxing dummy components. These springs transmit and modulate the forces from strikes, allowing realistic movement while preventing the target from falling, thus mediating between stability and realistic motion requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If traditional boxing targets are used, then they have fixed height, but they cannot accommodate multiple users of different heights

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheight adjustabilityVSAvoidadjustment mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The boxing dummy incorporates adjustable height mechanisms that allow the target to be dynamically repositioned to accommodate users of different heights. This adaptability is achieved through movable components and adjustment features integrated into the frame structure, enabling the system to adapt to different users without requiring complete redesign.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
