VARIABLE TOPOGRAPHY CLIMBING WALL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240050826 titled 'VARIABLE TOPOGRAPHY CLIMBING WALL

Simplified Explanation

The adjustable-topography climbing wall assembly described in the patent application consists of multiple climbing panels that can move relative to each other. Each panel has a surface element and frame elements positioned on the rear face of the surface element along the side edges of the panel. The frame elements are adjustably connected to the frame elements of adjacent panels, allowing the panels to be moved through various joint positions by one or more actuators. The connected frame elements can pivot and slide relative to each other, enabling the adjustment of both the angle and distance between adjacent panels. Regardless of the joint position, the front faces of the surface elements create a continuous climbing surface.

  • The climbing wall assembly includes multiple movable climbing panels.
  • Each panel consists of a surface element and frame elements on the rear face.
  • The frame elements of adjacent panels are adjustably connected.
  • The connected frame elements allow for variation in angle and distance between panels.
  • The front faces of the surface elements create a continuous climbing surface.

Potential Applications:

  • Indoor climbing gyms and facilities.
  • Outdoor adventure parks and recreational areas.
  • Training facilities for climbers and athletes.
  • Rehabilitation centers for physical therapy and exercise.
  • Military training facilities for obstacle courses.

Problems Solved:

  • Limited variability in climbing wall designs.
  • Difficulty in adjusting climbing wall configurations.
  • Inability to create continuous climbing surfaces with adjustable topography.
  • Lack of adaptability for different skill levels and training requirements.

Benefits:

  • Increased versatility in climbing wall designs.
  • Enhanced user experience with adjustable topography.
  • Improved safety by accommodating different skill levels.
  • Efficient use of space by adjusting panel configurations.
  • Customizable training options for climbers and athletes.


Original Abstract Submitted

an adjustable-topography climbing wall assembly includes a plurality of climbing panels that are movable relative to one another. each panel includes a surface element and frame elements positioned on the rear face of the surface element along the side edges of the panel. each frame element is adjustably connected with a frame element of an adjacent panel such that the adjacent panels can be moved through a plurality of joint positions by one or more actuators. the adjustably-connected frame elements may be (i) pivotable relative to one another, such that an angle between the adjacent panels may be varied and (ii) slidable relative to one another, such that a distance between the adjacent panels can be varied. regardless of the joint position, the front faces of the surface elements may together define a substantially continuous climbing surface.
