Wall-Mounted Collapsible Exercise System Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional exercise machines, such as glute ham developers and reverse hyper extension machines, are bulky and space-consuming, making them unsuitable for home gyms due to their large size and weight, and existing collapsible machines are often not wall-mounted and limited in exercise functionality.
Innovation Solution
A wall-mounted collapsible exercise system that includes a mount support, a body support, and a base support, allowing for adjustment between a collapsed and expanded position, and can be converted between a glute ham developer and reverse hyper configuration using various exercise attachments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional exercise machines are used to provide multiple exercise functions, then exercise versatility is improved, but space occupation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple exercise machine functions (glute ham developer, reverse hyper extension machine, and other exercise capabilities) into a single integrated wall-mounted structure. The frame supports multiple attachment points and configurations, allowing different exercise attachments to be mounted on the same structural base, thereby providing diverse exercise functionality while occupying minimal floor space.
Solution Approach 2:
The wall-mounted exercise system is designed as a universal platform that can accommodate various exercise attachments and configurations. The frame structure includes multiple mounting locations and adjustable components that enable the same base structure to serve multiple exercise purposes, making the equipment adaptable to different workout needs without requiring separate machines.
2Strength
If bulky exercise machines are used to ensure structural stability, then strength is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The exercise system is divided into modular components including the wall-mounted frame, removable attachments, and adjustable support structures. This segmentation allows the heavy structural frame to remain fixed on the wall for strength, while lighter modular attachments can be easily removed, added, or reconfigured by users without requiring manual handling of the entire machine.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from floor-based horizontal space occupation to wall-based vertical mounting. By anchoring the structure to the wall and utilizing vertical space, the equipment maintains structural strength through the wall-mounted frame while eliminating the need for users to maneuver heavy equipment across the floor, as the structure remains fixed in place.
3Area of stationary object
If collapsible exercise machines are used to reduce storage footprint, then area is improved, but adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The wall-mounted exercise system incorporates dynamic, adjustable components including removable attachments, adjustable support positions, and reconfigurable mounting points. These dynamic elements allow users to modify the exercise configurations according to different workout needs, maintaining high adaptability while the compact wall-mounted design ensures minimal storage footprint when not in use.

AI summary
A wall-mounted collapsible exercise system which is adjustable between a collapsed position against a wall and an expanded position for use in multiple exercise configurations. The wall-mounted collapsible exercise system generally includes a mount support adapted to be connected to a wall, a body support adapted to support an exerciser, and a base support adapted to support the body support when the body support is in use. The body support may be pivotably connected to the mount support and the base support may be pivotably connected to the body support such that the body support and base support are adjustable between a first collapsed position for storage and a second expanded position for use. When in the expanded position, the body support may be converted between a glute ham developer configuration and a reverse hyper configuration through use of various exercise attachments.
