Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for capturing flying vertebrates in large buildings are often inhumane, time-consuming, and ineffective, leading to potential harm and disease spread.
Innovation Solution
A telescoping support pole with a hook and pulley system for deploying and repositioning bird netting quickly and easily, allowing for humane capture of vertebrates.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If traditional netting methods are used (directly attached to roof or rafters), then the net can cover the required area, but the setup time is lengthy and repositioning is difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by using a telescoping pole with adjustable height and a pulley system that allows the net to be dynamically repositioned. The pole can be extended or retracted to different heights, and the pulley enables the net to be raised or lowered along the pole, transforming a static net installation into a dynamic, adjustable system that can be quickly deployed and repositioned.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the net deployment system into separate functional components: a telescoping pole for height adjustment, a pulley mechanism for net movement, and the net itself. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and assembled quickly, reducing overall setup time and improving ease of operation compared to traditional fixed installations.
2Reliability
If traps are used to capture flying vertebrates, then capture can be achieved, but the method is not humane and may harm the vertebrate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a pulley system as an intermediary mechanism between the operator and the net. The pulley allows the net to be smoothly raised and lowered without abrupt movements, and the telescoping pole provides controlled positioning. This intermediary system enables gentle, controlled net deployment that avoids startling or harming the vertebrate while maintaining reliable capture effectiveness.
3Reliability
If netting is setup inside the building, then capture can be achieved, but if the net misses the vertebrate, it needs to be taken down and set up again
Solution Approach 1:
The telescoping pole with pulley system provides dynamic adjustability that allows the net to be quickly repositioned to different heights and positions without complete takedown. If the initial positioning misses the vertebrate, the operator can simply adjust the pole height or lower/raise the net using the pulley, significantly reducing the time loss compared to traditional fixed installations that require complete removal and resetup.
4Stability of the object's composition
If a fixed net installation is used (attached directly to ceiling), then the net remains stable, but deployment and repositioning are time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent resolves the contradiction between stability and deployment speed by creating a dynamically adjustable system. The telescoping pole provides stable support when extended to the desired height, while the pulley mechanism allows controlled movement of the net along the pole. The system maintains stability during operation but enables rapid deployment and repositioning, achieving both stability and high productivity.
