Innovation Solution
A multipurpose firearm butt securing device with adjustable attachment mechanisms, including magnets, Dual Lock fastening, and a strapping system, allowing secure attachment to various surfaces and easy relocation, designed for military use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If long guns are stored permanently in lockers or racks, then weapon stability and protection from damage is improved, but installation time, space requirements, and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The firearm is segmented into two functional parts: a portable securing device that attaches to the weapon, and separate attachment mechanisms (magnets, adhesives, screws) that can be applied to various surfaces. This segmentation allows the storage system to be distributed rather than requiring a single complex permanent structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The securing device is designed with universal attachment capabilities through multiple mechanisms (magnetic attachment, adhesive application, screw fixation) that can be applied to various surfaces including metal, wood, and plastic. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for location-specific permanent installations.
2Ease of operation
If permanent storage solutions are deployed in multiple locations, then weapon accessibility is improved, but cost and space consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The storage system transitions from static permanent installations to dynamic portable units that can be relocated as needed. The firearm securing device can be quickly moved between locations and reattached using different mechanisms, providing accessibility without requiring permanent infrastructure in multiple places.
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment parameters of the securing device are changeable - different attachment mechanisms can be selected based on the surface material and location requirements. This flexibility allows the same device to be deployed in various environments without requiring location-specific customizations.
3Ease of operation
If long guns are carried in tight quarters, then mobility is improved, but risk of damage and loss of control increases
Solution Approach 1:
The securing device is pre-positioned on the firearm before deployment, with attachment mechanisms ready for immediate application to various surfaces. This preliminary preparation allows rapid transition from carried state to secured state without requiring complex assembly in the field.
Solution Approach 2:
The securing device acts as an intermediary between the firearm and various surfaces. It provides a standardized interface that can adapt to different environments, allowing the weapon to be securely controlled in tight quarters without direct contact between the firearm and potentially damaging surfaces.
