Universal Car Front Protection Cover with Adjustable Fasteners
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current car front protection solutions, whether model-specific or universal, are either excessively costly and time-consuming due to the need for multiple protections for different car models or fail to fit and adjust properly to various car shapes, leading to potential scratches during maintenance.
Innovation Solution
A universal car maintenance protection arrangement using hook-and-loop fastener tape and adjustable fasteners such as hooks, weights, and straps to securely fit and adapt to different car models, ensuring reliable coverage and easy installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If model-specific protections are used for different car models, then the protection fits each car model perfectly, but the cost and time required to acquire and manage multiple protections increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a single protection cover that can be used across multiple car models through adjustable fastening elements. The cover incorporates movable fasteners that can be repositioned along adjustment paths, allowing the same cover to adapt to different car front shapes and sizes, thereby eliminating the need for multiple model-specific covers.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies dynamics by making the fastening elements movable rather than fixed. The fasteners can be adjusted along predefined paths on the cover, enabling dynamic reconfiguration of the cover's shape and dimensions to match different car models, thus providing a flexible solution that maintains perfect fit across various models.
2Device complexity
If universal protections are used to reduce the number of different protections, then cost and time are reduced, but the protection does not fit various car shapes well and may cause scratches
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the fastening elements movable rather than fixed. The fasteners can be adjusted along predefined paths on the cover, enabling dynamic reconfiguration of the cover's shape and dimensions to match different car models, thus providing a flexible solution that maintains perfect fit across various models.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by allowing different portions of the cover to be adjusted independently through individually movable fasteners. Each fastener can be positioned optimally for its local region, enabling the cover to conform to the specific contours and dimensions of different car fronts while maintaining overall universal applicability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If adjustable fastening elements are added to achieve adaptability, then the protection can fit more car models, but the device complexity and manufacturing cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the fastening elements movable rather than fixed. The fasteners can be adjusted along predefined paths on the cover, enabling dynamic reconfiguration of the cover's shape and dimensions to match different car models, thus providing a flexible solution that maintains perfect fit across various models.

AI summary
A car maintenance protection arrangement comprising one or more protective element (1, 5, 11), which is arranged to be fitted as a cover on the front part of a car in a way where the protective element (1, 5, 11) can be placed on top of the front of the car. The arrangement comprises connecting elements (3, 8, 14) and fasteners (7, 9, 10, 13) for the essentially correct and accurate placement of the protective element (1, 5, 11) where the protective element (1, 5, 11) is arranged to be fitted onto the car by using hook-like, strap-like, or gravity-based fasteners (7, 9, 10, 13) and/or by means of one or more hook-like or strap-like fastener (9, 10) connected to one or more connecting element (3, 8, 14).
