Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Two-wheeled vehicle touring faces challenges in securely attaching and detaching containers under varying environmental and operating conditions, as existing systems lack reliability and efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A container bracket with ramp-shaped attachment devices and a cam lever system that allows for quick and secure attachment and detachment to differently shaped chassis brackets, distributing forces and accommodating various chassis elements, including shape memory materials for enhanced reusability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If permanently fastened brackets are used to attach containers to two-wheeled vehicles, then the containers remain securely attached during vehicle operation, but the system lacks flexibility and requires complex mechanisms for attachment and detachment
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket system transitions from static permanent fastening to dynamic temporary attachment through spring-loaded arms that automatically engage and disengage. The spring mechanism allows the bracket to adapt between secured and released states, enabling quick container attachment and detachment while maintaining reliable connection during vehicle operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The spring-loaded bracket system provides self-service through automatic engagement when containers are placed on the rack and self-release when weight is removed. The spring mechanism automatically returns the bracket to its release position, eliminating the need for manual operation and reducing complexity of attachment/detachment mechanisms.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple attachment points are provided for different chassis shapes, then the system becomes adaptable to various vehicle configurations, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket system achieves universality through adjustable arm positions and spring-loaded mechanisms that can accommodate multiple chassis configurations with a single device design. The same bracket can be mounted at different locations and adjusted to fit various frame shapes, eliminating the need for multiple specialized attachment devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket is divided into separate adjustable components including individual spring-loaded arms that can be positioned independently. This segmentation allows each component to be adjusted for different chassis configurations without requiring redesign of the entire attachment system, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining versatility.

AI summary
A bracket for quickly and securely attaching and un-attaching a container to a two wheeled vehicle under a wide range of environments and operating conditions. One planar side of the bracket is fastened to the container, and an opposite planar side of the bracket includes a plurality of attachment devices to attach and un-attach the bracket to a chassis bracket that is separately fastened to a chassis of the two wheeled vehicle.
