Belt Hanger With Latching Protrusions For Helmet Retention
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Workers carrying helmets in industrial settings face contamination and restricted movement due to gripping the helmets, and existing solutions do not provide easy attachment and detachment or secure retention.
Innovation Solution
A belt hanger with a C-shaped body, inner and outer latching protrusions, hinge spring prop insertion holes, and a hinge spring prop for secure attachment and detachment of helmets, preventing separation during use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a worker grips the helmet to carry it, then the helmet can be carried, but the worker's movement is restricted and the helmet may be contaminated by foreign substances on the worker's hands
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a belt hanger as an intermediary device between the worker's belt and the helmet. The belt hanger includes a C-shaped body with latching protrusions that engage with corresponding features on the helmet, allowing the helmet to be carried without direct hand contact. This mediator transfers the carrying function from the worker's hands to a dedicated attachment device, eliminating contamination and movement restrictions.
2Ease of operation
If the helmet is fastened to the worker's belt using the helmet's head band, then the helmet can be carried, but the helmet may be easily separated from the belt
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the carrying system into three distinct components: the worker's belt, the belt hanger (with C-shaped body and latching protrusions), and the helmet (with engagement features). This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function optimally - the belt provides anchor points, the belt hanger provides secure latching mechanisms, and the helmet provides engagement features. The modular design ensures reliable retention while maintaining ease of operation.
3Ease of operation
If a simple attachment mechanism is used, then the helmet can be easily attached and detached, but the helmet may be easily separated from the hanger
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs dynamic latching protrusions that can move between engaged and disengaged states. The latching protrusions on the C-shaped body are designed to snap into engagement with corresponding features on the helmet during attachment, providing secure retention. During detachment, the protrusions can be easily released by applying minimal force. This dynamic design allows the mechanism to provide both strong retention during use and easy release when needed.
