Single Unit Pavings TRIZ Cases
- Paving Stones with Contact Holders for Joint Width Control
Protruding contact holders on shaped paving stones define target joint widths, preventing material segregation and ensuring consistent load transfer.
- Concrete Panel Stop Hinge Rotary Insertion
Rotating the tongue edge into the groove edge eliminates linear pushing forces that damage panel edges and generate noise during installation.
- Construction Assembly Aligning Concrete Blocks
Frame modules and connector beams align concrete blocks, reducing manual placement errors.
- Permeable Block System with Gap for Rainwater Management
Segmenting blocks into upper and lower units creates a dedicated gap that prevents sand clogging while maintaining structural support.
- Tri-Layer Synthetic Oil Field Mat Design
A tri-layer synthetic oil field mat uses interlocking couplers to maintain structural shape under heavy loads.
- Detectable Warning Tiles with Photoluminescent Strips
Tactile tiles integrate raised truncated domes and photoluminescent strips to provide directional guidance for visually impaired pedestrians.
- Tile Setting Device with Slidable Rods and Removable Template
Slidable rods and a removable template guide precise tile placement, enabling repositioning without damaging the substrate.
- Paving Stone Composite Elements for Joint Material Introduction
Segmented composite elements reduce contact area between stones, enabling sufficient joint material introduction to accommodate dimensional errors.
- Modular Spacer Element With Elastic Webs For Adjustable Spacing
Segmented spacer blocks linked by elastic webs resolve the trade-off between structural stability and adaptability to different substructures.
- Rotatable Retention Spacer for Decking Joist Alignment
A spacer with a rotatable retention portion anchors into joist recesses to align lateral arms.
- Interlocking Mats With Grooved Seal Members for Liquid-Tight Seals
Elongated grooves in reversible mats guide seal members into interlocking gaps, preventing liquid leakage without plastic liners.
- Dry Paver Adhesive Composite for Vehicular Load Adhesion
A dry concrete mix with polymer modifiers bonds pavers to substrates without immediate hydration.
- Floor Support Device Anchoring for Soft Ground Stability
Height-adjustable support device anchors onto driven ground sockets to stabilize floor structures on uneven terrain.
- Paving Stone Multi-Level Joint Design for Load and Drainage
Segmented base and head joints in a paving stone resolve the trade-off between high traffic load bearing capacity and improved drainage coefficient.
- Recycled Asphalt Paving Blocks via Heated Auger Molding
Heated auger transfers recycled asphalt mixtures to a molding system, creating durable paving blocks that divert waste from landfills.
- Gap Seal Member for Load-Supporting Surface Liquid Leakage
Elongated seal member engages mat channels to form a liquid-tight barrier, eliminating plastic liner disposal challenges.
- Particulate Bitumen Joint Filler for Pavement
Solid bitumen particles melt and bond at 0°C to 40°C, eliminating liquid heating hazards while ensuring water-resistant joints.
- Self-Supporting Equipotential Grounding Grate with Debris Channels
Elevated conductive grid rests on vertical supports to create a grounded platform for workers and equipment.
- Industrial Mat Lifting Elements with Recessed Nesting
Nesting lifting eyes in recessed openings prevents worker injury while enabling safe crane operations on hybrid timber and steel mats.
- Precast Concrete Block Lug Grid Vacancy Design
Replacing lugs with vacancies in the side grid reduces joint width while maintaining displacement protection through asymmetric depth variation.
- Interlocking Rubber Tiles with Male-Female Connectors
Male and female connectors interlock recycled rubber tiles to anchor them on loose gravel, preventing movement and water pooling.
