Dry-Docking TRIZ Cases

Rotatable support members adjust height and angle to securely hold diverse watercraft, resolving versatility versus complexity trade-offs.

Segmented precast concrete elements create a self-stabilizing drainage system that eliminates landfill dependency and reduces assembly difficulty.

Horizontal blades on guide posts slide through brackets to accommodate water level changes while maintaining stability.

Nested concentric tubes allow the sleeve to extend and retract, resolving the conflict between low-profile aesthetics and flood security.

A kayak dolly-lift system uses pivotable C-shaped wings to support a vessel during vertical launch and retrieval operations.

An actuated bow stop pushes watercraft along a transport track, replacing complex winch lifts that struggle in deep water.

Selective deflation of the gate portion increases density, allowing the barrier to pivot open for vessel entry while maintaining protection against corrosion.

A raw water collar seals a hull to pump antifreeze into auxiliary systems, preventing freezing damage while conserving freshwater supplies.

Inflatable bellows maintain internal pressure to limit dynamic roll and pitch of small passenger boats while accommodating varying step heights.

A tilting canopy pivots upward to cover boats with towers.

A boat lift uses linear actuators above water to prevent corrosion while maintaining operational ease.

Segmented extension structures attach to existing bases to increase coverage without replacing the entire unit, reducing replacement complexity.

Buoyant damping pads on a catamaran stern reduce relative movements between the vessel and turbine, enabling stable maintenance in deep waters.
