Striking Apparatus Mounting System for Portable Force Absorption
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
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 absorb force effectively.
Innovation Solution
A striking apparatus with a target secured to a door end assembly using a compression mechanism with adjustable mounting plates and fasteners, allowing for adjustable height and easy relocation, and incorporating compression blades and shock-absorbing materials for enhanced force absorption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering 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
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is divided into separate components: a mounting plate that attaches to the striking apparatus and a separate mounting chassis with fasteners that attaches to the building structure. This segmentation allows the apparatus to be securely mounted when needed while enabling easy removal and relocation by simply detaching the mounting components.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting system transitions from a static permanent attachment to a dynamic removable attachment. The mounting chassis and fasteners provide a secure connection during use, but can be easily detached to allow the apparatus to be moved to different locations, making the system adaptable and flexible.
2Ease of operation
If portable striking apparatus is used, then the apparatus can be moved, but inadequate structure is provided that allows the apparatus to fully move unintentionally
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system uses a composite structure combining a rigid mounting plate, a mounting chassis with compression blades, and shock-absorbing materials. This composite construction provides both the portability needed for easy relocation and the structural stability required to withstand striking forces without unintended movement.
Solution Approach 2:
Shock-absorbing materials are incorporated into the mounting structure in advance to cushion and dampen the forces generated during striking. This beforehand cushioning prevents the apparatus from moving unintentionally during use while maintaining its portable nature.
3Strength
If the striking apparatus is made sturdy to absorb force, then it can withstand forceful blows, but it becomes more difficult to move and relocate
Solution Approach 1:
The system separates the striking apparatus (which provides force absorption through compression blades and shock-absorbing materials) from the mounting system (which provides relocatability through detachable mounting plate and chassis components). This segmentation allows each component to optimize its function without compromising the other.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting plate and chassis act as intermediary components between the sturdy striking apparatus and the building structure. These intermediaries provide the connection for relocation while allowing the main apparatus to maintain its force-absorbing capabilities.
