Functional Training Rig Kit with Nesting Box
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing functional training rigs are permanent structures that occupy significant space and cannot be easily assembled, dismantled, or transported, limiting their use in non-dedicated fitness areas or areas without storage.
Innovation Solution
A functional training rig kit comprising a box with pre-positioned plates and components that can be attached to the outside of the box using brackets and fasteners, allowing for easy assembly, disassembly, and transportation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a functional training rig is made as a permanent structure, then it provides stable and reliable training functionality, but it occupies significant space and cannot be easily assembled, dismantled, or transported
Solution Approach 1:
The functional training rig is divided into multiple separate components including uprights, crossbars, plates, and accessories that can be individually stored within the box and assembled together when needed. This segmentation allows the rig to be easily disassembled for storage and transport while maintaining structural stability during use through proper component connection.
Solution Approach 2:
The design nests the functional training rig components within a storage box, where the uprights, crossbars, and other elements are stored inside the box when not in use. This nesting approach allows the entire rig to be compactly stored in a limited space and easily transported while providing a stable training structure when assembled.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a functional training rig is made permanent, then it provides consistent training functionality, but it requires dedicated space and permanent installation
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the rig into portable components that fit within a box, the system can be relocated to different areas or settings as needed, providing location flexibility while occupying minimal space when stored in the compact box configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The functional training rig components can be configured for various training exercises and can be placed in different locations including home gyms, outdoor areas, or temporary spaces, making the system universally adaptable to multiple environments and uses beyond a single dedicated permanent installation.
3Ease of operation
If a functional training rig is made as a complete structure, then it provides comprehensive training capabilities, but it cannot be conveniently stored for transportation
Solution Approach 1:
The box serves as a container that nests all the rig components including uprights, crossbars, plates, and accessories within its interior space. This nesting design allows the complete training system to be conveniently stored and transported in a single compact unit, managing the complexity of multiple components through organized integration in the box.
Solution Approach 2:
The design merges the storage function with the structural components by making the box serve both as the container for all parts and as part of the overall system. This combining approach reduces the need for separate storage solutions and simplifies the overall system while maintaining comprehensive training capabilities.

AI summary
A functional training rig kit includes a box and a plurality of components adapted to fit within the box. At least some of the components and the box include elements by which the components are adapted to be attached to the outside of the box to provide at least one functional training rig attached to the outside of the box.
