Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing trampoline handle attachments do not provide sufficient stability and ease of attachment to existing trampoline frames, limiting user safety and convenience.
Innovation Solution
A trampoline attachment handle with a retainer extension and ring connector that attaches to a trampoline frame and spring ring, featuring a resilient section for improved grip and balance, and a frame connector socket for secure attachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing trampoline handle attachments are used, then the handle can be attached to the trampoline frame, but the attachment does not provide sufficient stability and ease of attachment
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment handle is divided into multiple functional segments: a frame connector section for attaching to the frame, a retainer extension with ring connector for securing to the spring ring, and a handle section for user grip. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific function while maintaining overall stability and ease of attachment.
Solution Approach 2:
The retainer extension is designed to fit within or alongside the spring ring structure, with the ring connector nesting onto the spring ring. This nested configuration allows the handle to be securely attached without requiring disassembly of existing trampoline components, improving both stability and ease of attachment.
2Reliability
If a secure attachment mechanism is implemented, then attachment stability is improved, but the complexity of the attachment system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The frame connector and retainer extension are merged into a single integrated attachment handle component. This merging reduces the number of separate parts and assembly steps while maintaining the secure attachment mechanism, thereby improving stability without proportionally increasing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment handle is designed to universally attach to standard trampoline frames and spring rings through its specialized connectors. This multi-functional design allows the same handle structure to secure to different trampoline configurations without requiring multiple specialized components, reducing overall system complexity.
