Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing chest harnesses do not provide a secure and convenient way for outdoor enthusiasts, such as hunters, to mount their equipment like hunting bows, which often leads to awkward handling and potential scaring of game.
Innovation Solution
A chest harness mounting system featuring a rigid frame body with a receivable portion and an integrated receiving member, coupled with a magnet-based coupling mechanism, allowing for secure and hands-free attachment of equipment like bows to the chest harness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If equipment is mounted to the chest harness, then hands-free convenience is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is divided into separate modular components: a rigid frame body integrated into the chest harness, a separate receiving member with magnetic coupling mechanism, and detachable mounting plates. This segmentation allows the system to provide hands-free convenience while maintaining simplicity through modular assembly and disassembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical fastening systems (screws, clips, or buckles) with a magnetic coupling mechanism. The magnetic field provides secure attachment without requiring complex mechanical interlocking parts, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining ease of operation.
2Reliability
If a rigid frame body with integrated receiving member is used, then equipment security is improved, but the weight of the chest harness increases
Solution Approach 1:
The magnetic coupling mechanism counteracts the need for heavy mechanical fastening systems. The magnetic force provides sufficient holding strength to secure equipment like bows without requiring substantial mechanical structures, thereby maintaining equipment security while minimizing weight increase.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the physical state of the coupling mechanism from mechanical (solid contact with moving parts) to magnetic (field-based attraction). This parameter change allows for secure equipment attachment with significantly reduced structural weight, as magnetic fields require no physical mass to exert force.
3Loss of time
If equipment is quickly mounted and dismounted, then response time is improved, but the reliability of equipment attachment decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The magnetic coupling mechanism is pre-configured within the rigid frame body and receiving member structure before use. The magnetic field is already established and ready to engage, allowing equipment to be quickly attached by simply bringing the mounting plate near the magnetic coupling point. This preliminary preparation enables rapid mounting without compromising attachment reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
Replacing mechanical fastening systems with magnetic coupling eliminates the need for multiple steps (unthreading screws, unclipping latches, or unbuckling straps). The magnetic field provides instant engagement and secure holding, achieving both quick response time and reliable attachment simultaneously.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The system enables secure, quiet, and hands-free mounting of equipment, reducing the risk of equipment damage or loss and minimizing the likelihood of scaring game during hunting.
Implementation Method 1
The coupling mechanism may be composed of a first magnet. The first magnet is coupled to a second magnet, the second magnet is positioned on a two-piece clamp attached to a bow, wherein the bow via the first and second magnets is secured to the chest harness mounting system.
