Angled Sliding Guard Structure for Tool Carriers on Slopes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing tool carriers for garden tools are inconvenient when working on slopes due to a fixed connection between the guard panel and bearing belt, which restricts movement and comfort for operators.
Innovation Solution
A tool carrier design featuring a guard panel with a sliding structure that forms an acute angle with the main plane, allowing the guard to slide relative to the bearing belt, providing increased comfort and ease of use on slopes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the guard panel and bearing belt are fixedly connected, then the structure is simple and stable, but the operator experiences inconvenience and strain when working on slopes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the fixed connection between the guard panel and bearing belt into a dynamic sliding connection. The bearing belt passes through a sliding hole in the guard panel, allowing relative movement along the front-to-back direction. This enables the guard panel to move dynamically in response to terrain changes and operator movement, improving comfort without excessive complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The connection system is segmented into movable and fixed components. The bearing belt is separable from the guard panel through the sliding hole, creating independent movable segments. This segmentation allows the bearing belt to move relative to the guard panel while maintaining connection, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and adaptability
2Adaptability or versatility
If the guard panel is fixedly connected to the bearing belt, then the structure maintains stability, but the tool cannot adapt to slope conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The sliding hole enables the guard panel to dynamically adjust its position relative to the bearing belt, allowing adaptation to slope conditions. The structure transitions from a static fixed connection to a dynamic system that can accommodate terrain variations while maintaining operational stability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the positional parameter of the guard panel relative to the bearing belt by introducing a sliding mechanism. The guard panel can move along the front-to-back direction, changing its position to adapt to different working conditions including slopes, while the bearing belt maintains structural integrity

AI summary
A tool carrier used for carry tool includes a harness system, a bearing belt and a guard, the harness system includes two shoulder strap and a waist belt, the bearing belt passes through the guard to be connected with the harness system. The guard has a main board, a sliding structure at a top of the main board and a suspension structure. The sliding structure has a sliding hole for the bearing belt running through, the main board is formed with a main plane, a horizontal projection of the sliding hole and a horizontal projection of the main plane define an angle therebetween, and the angle is an acute angle. When a tool is loaded to the suspension structure of the guard, the guard can slide forwardly and backwardly relative to the bearing belt during working, so that the weight of the tool can be uniformly distributed.
