Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for an organized storage solution for multiple personal transportation vehicles of different types, as existing systems fail to efficiently manage and store a variety of vehicles in a compact and space-efficient manner.
Innovation Solution
A collapsible wall mountable storage system comprising a rigid planar base with recessed mounting apertures, u-shaped brackets with leg extensions, and linear peg stands that pivot to allow for easy mounting and collapsing, enabling secure storage of various vehicles like skateboards, longboards, surfboards, snowboards, scooters, and bicycles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a traditional fixed storage system is used, then vehicles can be stored securely, but the system occupies permanent wall space and cannot be removed or reconfigured
Solution Approach 1:
The storage system employs brackets that can pivot between a horizontal storage position and a vertical collapsed position against the wall. This dynamic mechanism allows the system to adapt between occupying wall space for vehicle storage and minimizing wall space when not in use, directly resolving the contradiction between adaptability and permanent space occupation.
Solution Approach 2:
The storage system is divided into modular components including a base plate, multiple pivotable brackets, and vehicle holders. This segmentation allows the system to be reconfigured by adjusting individual bracket positions and enables complete collapse against the wall when not in use, providing both reconfigurability and space efficiency.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple vehicle types are stored simultaneously, then storage versatility is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The brackets are designed with universal functionality to accommodate multiple vehicle types including bicycles, skateboards, surfboards, and snowboards. Each bracket can be positioned at different angles and heights, and the holders can be adjusted to fit various vehicle dimensions, allowing one system to serve multiple storage purposes without increasing structural complexity.

AI summary
A collapsible wall mountable personal transportation vehicle storage system for conveniently storing a plurality of personal transportation vehicles of different types features a personal transportation vehicle. The system features a rigid planar base mounted to a vertical surface via hardware through recessed mounting apertures. The system features a u-shaped upper bracket and a u-shaped lower bracket pivotally mounted to a base front surface. The bracket features a first leg extension and a second leg extension perpendicularly located on opposing ends of a leg crossbeam. The system features a linear peg stand located on both the first leg extension and the second leg extension. The peg stand is designed to interface with the base front surface to support the bracket. The bracket is designed to pivot upwardly to a position flush with the base front surface and downwardly to a position perpendicular with the base front surface.
