Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed holster design is used, then the structure is simple, but it cannot accommodate different pistol models

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompatibility with different pistol modelsVSAvoidholster structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The holster employs dynamic adjustment mechanisms including a rotatable bracket connected to the sleeve body, a connecting rod with eccentric rotational connection points, and a movable part that can be positioned at different angles. These dynamic components allow the holster to adapt its geometry to fit various pistol models while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes geometric parameters of the holster structure through adjustable components. The bracket can rotate to change the angle of the holster opening, the connecting rod with its eccentric connection points modifies the relative position between components, and the movable part adjusts the internal configuration. These parameter changes enable the same holster to accommodate different pistol dimensions and configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If an adjustable mechanism is added to fit different pistol models, then adaptability improves, but the holstering process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesuitability for different pistol modelsVSAvoidholstering process simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The adjustable mechanism is designed to be dynamically operable during the holstering process. The bracket can be rotated and locked at desired angles, the movable part can be positioned and secured, allowing the user to quickly adapt the holster to different pistol models without complex multi-step procedures. The mechanisms are designed for intuitive operation during the actual holstering action.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If the holster is designed to be universal for all pistol models, then versatility increases, but the fit precision for each specific model decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuniversal compatibilityVSAvoidfit precision for specific pistol models
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The holster uses dynamic adjustment components that can be precisely positioned during the holstering process. The rotatable bracket with its rotational connection points, the connecting rod with eccentric connections, and the movable part can all be adjusted to specific positions and locked in place. This precision adjustment capability allows the universal holster to achieve accurate fit for specific pistol models while maintaining versatility across different models.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
