Door Frame Leash Holder With Removable Rod Tethering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems do not provide a safe, secure, easy, and inexpensive method to tether a pet to a door frame of an RV or home for outdoor exercise or other purposes.
Innovation Solution
A two-component holder system is attached to a door frame, comprising a first component fixedly attached and a second component with opposed plates and bores, allowing a rod to secure the pet leash handle, enabling the pet to be outside without direct owner restraint.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a pet leash is directly held by the owner, then the pet can be restrained, but the owner must continuously supervise and hold the leash
Solution Approach 1:
The door frame holder enables the pet leash to be secured independently to the door frame structure. The holder comprises a base attached to the door frame and a vertical rod that receives the leash handle, allowing the system to function autonomously without requiring continuous owner intervention or supervision during pet exercise.
2Reliability
If existing tethering methods are used, then pets can be restrained, but they are not safe or secure
Solution Approach 1:
The tethering system is divided into distinct functional components: a base element that attaches to the door frame, a vertical rod element that provides the restraint point, and a leash component. This segmentation allows each element to be optimized for its specific function while maintaining overall system simplicity and reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The door frame holder is designed to be universally applicable to various door frame structures. The base element can be attached to different types of door frames (wooden, metal, vinyl) using appropriate fastening methods, making the system adaptable to different home and RV configurations without requiring complex custom fabrication.
3Reliability
If a secure tethering system is built, then pets can be safely restrained, but it becomes expensive
Solution Approach 1:
The holder components are designed to be inexpensive to manufacture using common materials such as wood, metal, or plastic. The base and rod can be fabricated from readily available materials through simple cutting and fastening operations, avoiding the need for expensive specialized components or complex assembly processes.
4Reliability
If a permanent tethering structure is installed, then pets can be securely restrained, but it cannot be easily moved or adjusted
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment system incorporates dynamic fastening methods that allow the holder to be securely installed when needed and easily removed or repositioned when required. The base element can be attached using removable fasteners such as screws, bolts, or adhesive mounts that provide strong holding power during use but allow for straightforward removal and relocation.
