Weighted Plate Pack With Lumbar Support for Stable Movement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional exercise articles for carrying weighted plates cause discomfort due to insufficient lumbar support, lack of padding, abrasive fabrics, and constricted movement, leading to potential injuries during strenuous physical activities.
Innovation Solution
A pack article designed to carry weighted exercise plates with an internal space and lumbar support member, along with a sternum strap, to provide stability and comfort during various body movements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Weight of moving object
If conventional exercise articles are used to carry weighted plates, then the weight can be carried, but discomfort occurs due to insufficient lumbar support and lack of padding
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies beforehand cushioning by incorporating a lumbar support member with padding in the pack article before use. This lumbar support member is positioned to contact the user's lower back and is covered by a fabric layer, providing cushioning and comfort before the user experiences discomfort during weight carrying.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses an intermediary approach by introducing a lumbar support member as a mediator between the weighted plate and the user's body. This lumbar support member distributes the load and provides cushioning, acting as an intermediary element that reduces direct contact between the heavy plate and the user's lumbar region.
2Weight of moving object
If conventional exercise articles are used, then weight can be carried, but friction burns occur due to abrasive fabrics
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies composite materials by using a fabric layer covering the lumbar support member. This fabric layer is specifically designed to be non-abrasive and comfortable against the skin, creating a composite structure that combines the support function with comfort protection, preventing friction burns during weight carrying.
3Weight of moving object
If conventional exercise articles are used, then weight can be carried, but movement is constricted leading to reduced stability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by designing the pack article with flexible components that allow movement. The lumbar support member and fabric layer are configured to move with the user's body during exercise, maintaining stability while allowing necessary range of motion for various movements rather than constricting movement.
4Object-affected harmful factors
If the pack article is designed with sufficient lumbar support and padding, then comfort is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the pack article into distinct functional components: a lumbar support member, a fabric layer, and a pack body. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function (support, cushioning, protection) while maintaining overall structural organization and managing complexity through modular design.
