Drawer Cover with Rotating Holder for Vehicle Electronics
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing solutions for using portable electronic devices in vehicles either restrict movement, occupy space, or require external holders and protective casings, failing to provide a safe and versatile solution for device storage and use.
Innovation Solution
A multi-functional drawer cover with a movable body, lock, holder, and rotator system that allows easy mounting and disassembly, providing a flat surface for device storage and use without external holders or protective casings, while ensuring safety and flexibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If external holders or protective casings are used to secure electronic devices in vehicles, then device safety is improved, but vehicle space is occupied and movement is restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the protective cover and holder functions into a single integrated drawer cover unit. The cover itself becomes the protective enclosure while incorporating a holder mechanism with teeth and a rotator to secure electronic devices, eliminating the need for separate external holders or protective casings.
Solution Approach 2:
The drawer cover serves multiple functions simultaneously: it protects the drawer interior, provides a flat surface when closed, and incorporates a holder mechanism for securing electronic devices. This multi-functional design replaces multiple separate components with a single versatile unit.
2Stability of the object's composition
If external holders are used to fix electronic devices in vehicles, then device stability is improved, but user movement is restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The holder mechanism features a movable upper part that can rotate and adjust, allowing the device to be secured stably while still permitting user access and movement. The rotator enables the holder to adapt to different positions and angles, maintaining stability without restricting user mobility.
3Reliability
If protective casings or bags are used to store electronic devices, then device protection is improved, but additional space and complexity are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the protective function directly into the drawer cover structure itself, rather than requiring separate protective casings or bags. The cover's enclosed design provides protection while the holder mechanism with teeth and rotator secures devices, all within a single unified component.
4Reliability
If external apparatus are used to secure electronic devices, then device safety is improved, but mounting and disassembly becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The holder mechanism is divided into a fixed lower part and a movable upper part that can rotate independently. This segmentation allows the holder to be easily mounted and disassembled while maintaining secure device fixation, as the movable part can be adjusted or removed without affecting the entire drawer cover structure.
