Bicycle Accessory Holder with Elastic Fixing Means
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing accessories holders for bicycles are often bulky, difficult to transport, and can cause collisions and vibrations between accessories and the bicycle, leading to noise and discomfort during long-distance rides.
Innovation Solution
A compact and ergonomic accessories holder for bicycles with integrated releasable fixing means, such as elastic ribs, that securely holds multiple tools and accessories, preventing collisions and vibrations, and can be easily mounted on the bicycle or housed within a water bottle cage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If accessories are placed in bags or containers, then they can be transported, but they become bulky and uncomfortable to carry
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple accessory housings into a single integrated holder structure that mounts directly on the bicycle. This merging approach consolidates what would otherwise require multiple separate bags or containers into one compact unit, eliminating the need for bulky carrying bags while maintaining the ability to transport multiple accessories.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder is designed as a multi-functional device that can accommodate various types of bicycle accessories and tools through standardized housings. This universal design allows the same holder structure to serve multiple purposes - transporting different accessories, tools, and spare parts - replacing the need for multiple specialized bags.
2Ease of operation
If accessories are tied to the bicycle, then they are easily accessible, but they cause collisions and vibrations producing noise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the accessory storage into separate individual housings, each designed to securely contain a specific accessory. This segmentation prevents accessories from moving freely and colliding with each other or the bicycle, as each item is isolated in its own compartment with fixing means to prevent movement and vibration.
Solution Approach 2:
The housing design includes features that prevent collisions before they occur - such as snug-fitting compartments and releasable fixing means that secure accessories in place. This beforehand constraint eliminates the harmful collisions and vibrations that would otherwise occur during bicycle operation.
3Ease of operation
If multiple accessories are stored separately, then they are easily accessible, but the holder becomes bulky and less transportable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a nested arrangement where multiple housings are integrated within a compact holder structure. The housings are arranged to fit together efficiently, with each housing containing its accessory and nesting within the overall holder framework. This nested design allows multiple accessories to be stored separately for easy access while maintaining a compact overall volume suitable for bicycle mounting.
