Cylindrical Rod Pistol Holder for Secure Vehicle Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing pistol holders cannot be securely installed on an interior vehicle surface, making it difficult to access and remove a pistol discreetly, as they require additional parts that hinder quick and inconspicuous motion.
Innovation Solution
A pistol holder with a cylindrical rod that can be secured to a vehicle's interior surface using a base plate with apertures and adhesive, allowing easy access and removal of the pistol without drawing attention, featuring a stop to prevent over-insertion and an adjustable resilient knob for secure positioning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a pistol holder uses multiple parts (metal strips, shield, lip, clasp) to support and secure a gun, then the gun is securely held, but the device complexity increases and quick inconspicuous removal is hindered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential support function from multiple complex parts (metal strips, shield, lip, clasp) and implements it through a single cylindrical rod inserted into the pistol's bore. This simplifies the holder structure while maintaining secure support by focusing on the critical function of barrel support without unnecessary additional components.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of having the holder actively clamp or secure the pistol using multiple parts, the invention inverts the approach by having the pistol's own bore serve as the securing mechanism. The cylindrical rod simply needs to fit within the existing bore, allowing the pistol's structure to do the securing work rather than requiring complex external fastening mechanisms.
2Reliability
If a pistol holder is designed with multiple securing parts, then the gun is firmly supported, but the ease of operation for quick and inconspicuous removal is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes unnecessary parts from the holder structure, keeping only the essential cylindrical rod that supports the pistol barrel. This extraction of extraneous components enables quick and inconspicuous removal while maintaining adequate support stability through the simplified single-element design.
3Ease of operation
If a pistol holder requires installation on vehicle interior surfaces, then accessibility is improved, but the ease of manufacture increases due to additional mounting requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The base plate is designed with universal mounting capabilities that can accommodate various vehicle interior surfaces. The through-apertures allow for versatile installation methods (screws, adhesives, or other fastening mechanisms) on different surface types, making the holder adaptable to dashboards, door panels, or other locations while maintaining simple construction.
