Foldable Pet Screen Assembly for Car Seat Headrest Separation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Pets in a car can easily move between the rear and trunk spaces, distracting the driver and compromising driving safety.
Innovation Solution
A pet screen with a main plate assembly and connecting members that secure to car seat headrests, featuring foldable or expandable side blocks and extension plates, to separate the trunk and rear spaces, limiting pet movement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a pet screen is installed to separate trunk and rear spaces, then driving safety is improved by preventing pet disturbance, but device complexity increases due to the need for main plate assembly and connecting members
Solution Approach 1:
The pet screen is divided into a main plate assembly and two separate connecting members, allowing independent installation on each side. This segmentation simplifies the overall structure while maintaining the safety function of separating the trunk and rear spaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting members are extracted as separate components from the main plate assembly, enabling flexible installation and removal. This extraction principle reduces the complexity of the main plate while preserving the complete safety function when assembled.
2Ease of operation
If side blocks are made foldable or expandable to optimize space, then ease of storage is improved, but device complexity increases due to hinged mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The side blocks are designed with hinged connections to the main plate assembly, enabling them to fold toward the center or expand outward. This dynamic design allows the pet screen to be compact for storage yet fully extended for use, optimizing space utilization while maintaining structural integrity.

AI summary
Disclosed is a pet screen, including a main plate assembly and two connecting members for fixedly connecting headrests of car seats. The main plate assembly includes a main block and two side blocks, where the two side blocks are hinged with left and right sides of the main block, and the two side blocks are arranged to be foldable or expandable relative to the main block. The two connecting members are arranged on the two side blocks respectively. The main plate assembly can be secured on the headrests of car seats through the connecting members, which separates the trunk space from the rear space, and efficiently delimits a pet activity area, thereby ensuring driving safety due to no pet disturbance to the driver, and enhancing the utilization of interior space.
