Adjustable Binding Strap Buckle for Variable Bundle Size
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional binding straps lack the ability to adjust bundling space size based on the volume or quantity of storage items, necessitating the use of multiple straps of different sizes for varying items.
Innovation Solution
A length adjustable binding strap with a buckle and pull parts that allow for adjustable binding space formation through a hook-and-loop fastener or double-sided tape, enabling flexible adjustment of the strap length to accommodate items of varying sizes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed-size binding strap is used, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but it cannot adapt to different volumes of storage items
Solution Approach 1:
The binding strap is designed with an adjustable length mechanism that allows it to dynamically change its dimensions. The strap includes a first pull part that can be pulled to adjust the length of the strap at the two ends of the buckle, transforming a static structure into a dynamic one that adapts to different binding needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The binding strap is designed to perform multiple functions by allowing length adjustment. A single strap can accommodate various volumes of storage items by adjusting its length, making it universally applicable to different binding scenarios rather than requiring multiple fixed-size straps.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple fixed-size binding straps are prepared for different items, then each strap fits its specific item well, but it increases the quantity of straps needed and storage complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustable binding strap serves as a universal tool that can replace multiple fixed-size straps. By allowing length adjustment through the first pull part mechanism, one strap can perform the function of several different-sized straps, reducing the quantity needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention merges the functionality of multiple fixed-size straps into a single adjustable strap. The ability to adjust length consolidates what would otherwise require separate straps of different dimensions into one versatile binding solution.
3Ease of operation
If the binding strap length is fixed, then the manufacturing process is simple, but it lacks flexibility in adjusting bundling space size
Solution Approach 1:
The strap incorporates a dynamic adjustment mechanism involving the first pull part that can be pulled to change the effective length. This adds operational flexibility while maintaining relatively simple manufacturing through the use of basic components like the buckle and strap body.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables secure binding of items of different sizes by allowing the strap to adapt its bundling space, enhancing usability and reducing the need for multiple straps.
Implementation Method 1
The coupling parts of the two ends of the strap are connected to each other. Preferably, the coupling part is double-sided tape.

AI summary
A length adjustable binding strap includes a buckle having a threading space. A strap has a coupling part formed on a surface thereof. The strap has a first pull part and a second pull part at two ends thereof. The first pull part is threaded through the threading space of the buckle, and the strap wraps around two ends of the buckle. The coupling parts of the two ends of the strap are connected to each other. A binding space is formed by coiling the strap. The first pull part is pulled to adjust a length of the strap at the two ends of the buckle so as to adjust a size of the binding space.
