Adjustable Vehicle Bag Hook for Stable Short-Bag Carrying
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bag carrying hooks for motor vehicles often fail to securely accommodate short bags due to their fixed high positioning, leading to swinging and increased risk of objects falling out or interfering with the driver, especially when the bags lack closure mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
A bag carrying device with a hooking member that can be adjusted in height and angular position, featuring a first hook portion and a safety portion to prevent slipping, coupled with guide and blocking elements to securely attach to the vehicle's floorboard, allowing bags of various sizes to be stably positioned.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the bag carrying hook is positioned high to accommodate long bag handles, then long bags can be hooked, but short bags cannot rest on the floorboard and will swing during vehicle movement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the hooking member adjustable in height along the coupling element. This allows the hooking member to move between a first position (higher) for long bags and a second position (lower) for short bags, enabling the system to adapt dynamically to different bag sizes while maintaining stability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by allowing the hooking member to change its vertical position parameter. The coupling element provides a guide structure with multiple blocking elements at different heights, enabling the hooking member to be positioned at different vertical locations to accommodate various bag handle lengths and ensure bag stability
2Device complexity
If the bag carrying hook is fixed in position, then the device structure is simple, but it cannot accommodate bags of various sizes stably
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the coupling element into distinct functional parts: a guide structure with blocking elements at different heights. This segmented design allows the hooking member to be positioned at multiple discrete locations, providing adaptability to different bag sizes while maintaining relatively simple device structure
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements universality by designing the coupling element to serve multiple functions: it provides both the guide structure for vertical movement and the blocking elements for positioning at different heights. This multi-functional design enables a single device to accommodate various bag sizes without requiring multiple separate components

AI summary
There are described some embodiments of a bag carrying device (10A-E) for a motor vehicle (1), comprising: • a hooking member (20A) for a bag; • coupling elements (30A) adapted to be operatively interposed between the hooking member (20A) and a part (11) of said motor vehicle (1) for coupling the hooking member (20A) to said part (11) of the motor vehicle (1). The coupling elements (30A) are configured so as to allow a position of the hooking member (20A) to be regulated so that the hooking member (20A) can assume at least two different positions situated at different heights with respect to a bearing plane (12) of the motor vehicle (1).
