Fastening Assembly Actuator Trigger Wearable Mount
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wearable device mounts are inefficient and time-consuming to attach and remove, lack precise positioning, and often lack adequate controls for users and devices, particularly in industrial settings.
Innovation Solution
A fastening assembly comprising a trigger assembly with an actuator and a housing, along with a connector that securely engages with a wearable mount, allowing for easy attachment and detachment of wearable devices to users, featuring a housing connection portion with raised surfaces for secure engagement and an actuator that translates within the housing for ergonomic operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If existing mounts are used for wearable devices, then device mounting is achieved, but attachment and removal are difficult and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The mount is divided into separate components: a first portion with a trigger assembly and a second portion with a connector. These portions can be independently attached and detached from the user and device respectively, enabling quick assembly and disassembly without complex fastening operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The trigger assembly incorporates an actuator that enables the user to independently release the connector from the housing connection portion. This self-service mechanism allows the user to detach the device without requiring assistance or complex manual manipulation of multiple fastening elements.
2Measurement precision
If existing mounts are used for wearable devices, then device mounting is achieved, but positioning precision is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The housing connection portion includes raised surfaces positioned at specific locations to engage with corresponding features on the connector. This localized geometric feature arrangement provides precise positioning in critical areas while keeping the overall structure simple and avoiding unnecessary complexity throughout the entire mount assembly.
3Adaptability or versatility
If existing mounts are used for wearable devices, then basic mounting function is provided, but adequate controls for user and device are lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The trigger assembly merges the actuator control mechanism with the mounting structure itself. The actuator is integrated into the housing and works in conjunction with the connector and raised surfaces to provide both mounting and control functions through a unified structure, avoiding the need for separate control systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The trigger assembly serves multiple functions: it provides the mounting connection through the housing and connector, enables secure attachment via the raised surfaces, and delivers user control through the actuator mechanism. This multi-functionality allows a single structure to replace what would traditionally require separate mounting and control systems.
