Climbing Safety Harness Storage With Sealed Quick-Access Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing storage solutions do not provide a secure, weather-resistant, and easily accessible means to store climbing safety harnesses in compliance with government regulations, particularly in industrial or construction settings where they are mandated.
Innovation Solution
A climbing safety harness storage arrangement comprising a storage container with a door, locking mechanism, sealing structure, hanging structure, and mounting member, designed for detachable attachment to supporting structures near climbing sites, ensuring quick access and protection from environmental elements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If a storage container is used to house climbing safety harnesses, then the harnesses are protected from environmental elements, but access to the harnesses becomes less quick and easy
Solution Approach 1:
The storage container is segmented with a door that can be opened and closed, allowing selective access to the harnesses while maintaining protection when closed. The door creates a separable barrier between the protected interior and external environment.
Solution Approach 2:
The door is pivotably attached to the storage container, making it dynamic rather than fixed. This allows the door to be opened for quick access when needed and closed for protection when not in use, resolving the contradiction between accessibility and protection.
2Reliability
If a door is added to the storage container to improve security and protection, then weather resistance improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A sealing structure is used between the door and storage container to prevent water and insect entry. This flexible sealing approach provides effective weather protection without requiring complex gasket systems or multiple sealing layers.
3Reliability
If a locking mechanism is added to secure the door, then security and protection improve, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The locking mechanism is designed to be simple and self-operating, allowing users to easily lock and unlock the door without complex key systems or multiple components. The mechanism serves itself through straightforward manual operation.
4Ease of operation
If the storage container is made detachable for portability, then ease of relocation improves, but stability and secure mounting worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting member is detachably connected to the storage container, separating the mounting function from the container body. This allows the container to be easily attached to and removed from supporting structures while maintaining stable mounting when attached.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting connection is designed to be dynamically detachable, allowing the storage container to transition between fixed and mobile states. When mounted, it provides stable attachment; when detached, it enables easy relocation to different climbing areas.

AI summary
A climbing safety harness storage arrangement includes a storage container, a door, a locking mechanism, a sealing structure, a hanging structure, and a mounting member. The storage container can be placed adjacent a climbing structure, such as a ladder or scaffolding, in a work environment in which wearing of climbing safety harnesses for climbing is mandated by government regulation. The sealing structure seals the storage container when the door is closed to minimize or prevent entry of water or insects into the storage container.
