Flat Securing Means Adapter for Ship Side Load Security
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing flat securing devices for vehicles face challenges in securely fixing loads to a ship's side, leading to potential displacement of the securing surface relative to the securing bar, which compromises load security, especially when additional requirements such as fixing to a cargo hold side wall are needed.
Innovation Solution
A planar securing device featuring an adapter with hooks and eyelets that can be continuously fixed to the securing rod, allowing for a stepless engagement with the ship's side, preventing relative movement between the securing surface and the rod, and enabling secure attachment to various designs of networks or walls.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the safety bar is fixed to the network using loops and hooks, then the load securing function is provided, but the securing surface may displace relative to the securing bar compromising load security
Solution Approach 1:
An adapter is introduced as an intermediary component between the safety bar and the network loops. The adapter features a guide device with a groove that receives the loop, and a clamping body that secures the loop within the groove, preventing displacement while maintaining the connection function
Solution Approach 2:
The connection system is divided into separate functional components: the safety bar, the adapter (with guide device and clamping body), and the network loops. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function optimally while working together to prevent displacement
2Adaptability or versatility
If additional fixing requirements are imposed (e.g., to cargo hold side wall), then the adaptability increases, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The adapter is designed as a universal component that can accommodate different network designs and configurations. The guide device with its groove and clamping body mechanism provides a standardized interface that works with various loop types and sizes, enabling the same adapter to be used across different securing applications without modification

AI summary
The invention relates to a flat securing means, especially safety net, for securing cargo during its transport to the loading area (1) of a vehicle. Said securing means has a flexible securing area which is designed as a network (7, 8) of intersecting straps (7, 8) or ropes. In addition, at least one securing bar (9) is provided and is connected to the network (7, 8) by means of tabs (10). According to the invention, the securing bar (9) has at least one hook (11b) for fixing the securing bar (9) for example to a side (2 to 6).
