Dual Storage Disposal Device for Construction Sites
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Construction and building renovation projects face challenges with limited space for equipment storage and debris disposal, particularly in urban settings where standard dumpsters and storage containers are difficult to deliver and occupy excessive space, leading to inefficiencies and safety hazards.
Innovation Solution
A dual storage and disposal device comprising a transportable unit with a storage facility and a dumpster portion, equipped with rollers, a hook lift attachment, and a secure locking mechanism, allowing for efficient storage of tools and disposal of debris in a compact, space-efficient manner.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a standard dumpster is delivered to the job site, then debris disposal capacity is improved, but space requirements and delivery complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines a storage container and dumpster into a single integrated unit. The storage portion holds tools and materials while the dumpster portion collects debris, eliminating the need for separate containers and reducing overall space requirements at the job site.
Solution Approach 2:
The dual-purpose container serves multiple functions: storing tools and equipment in the sealed storage portion while simultaneously collecting construction debris in the dumpster portion. This multi-functionality reduces the number of separate deliveries needed.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate containers are delivered for storage and disposal, then functional capacity is improved, but delivery complexity and traffic increase
Solution Approach 1:
The storage container and dumpster are merged into one integrated unit that can be delivered in a single trip. The unit includes a sealed storage portion for tools and an open dumpster portion for debris, both accessible from the top for easy loading and unloading.
3Ease of operation
If tools are left at the job site in unsecured locations, then accessibility is improved, but security and safety deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The storage portion of the container provides a secure, locked compartment specifically for tools and valuable equipment, while the dumpster portion remains open for debris. This creates different security levels in different parts of the same container, protecting tools while maintaining ease of access to both areas.
