Attachment device for attachment to cable
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a demand for a stable wired connection between game devices and input devices, particularly in game events and competitions, to ensure reliable performance.
Innovation Solution
An attachment device is proposed that includes a connector retaining section and an engagement member. The engagement member is movable between a protrusion position and an accommodation position, allowing it to engage with the input device and improve connection stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a cable connector is directly connected to an input device, then the connection structure is simple, but the connection stability is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The engagement member is nested within the connector retaining section, forming a compact integrated structure. The engagement member can protrude from or be accommodated in the connector retaining section, allowing it to engage with or disengage from the input device while maintaining a compact overall form factor.
Solution Approach 2:
The engagement member acts as an intermediary component between the cable connector and the input device. It provides additional engagement points that enhance connection stability without requiring a completely different connection mechanism.
2Reliability
If an engagement member is added to improve connection stability, then the connection stability improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The engagement member and connector retaining section are combined into a single integrated attachment device. This merging reduces the number of separate components and simplifies the overall structure while still providing enhanced connection stability through the engagement member's additional contact points.
3Reliability
If the engagement member is always protruded to ensure stable engagement, then the connection stability is high, but the ease of operation for engagement and disengagement is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The engagement member is designed to be movable between a protrusion position and an accommodation position. This dynamic capability allows the engagement member to adapt its state based on operational needs: protruding for stable engagement and accommodating for easy disengagement or storage.

AI summary
Provided is an attachment device that is able to improve the stability of connection between a cable connector and a connector of an input device and also facilitate the operation for engaging an engagement section with the input device. The attachment device includes a connector retaining section and an engagement member. The engagement member is provided on the connector retaining section, and includes an engagement section for engaging with the input device. The engagement member is movable between an engagement position and an accommodation position. The engagement position is a position where the engagement section is protruded from the connector retaining section. The accommodation position is a position where the engagement section is accommodated in the connector retaining section.
