Foldable Support Bench Structure for Compact Storage and Transport
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing support benches for firearms and telescopes are non-foldable, occupying large storage and transport spaces due to their one-piece structure.
Innovation Solution
A foldable support bench design with a hingedly attached support plate and base, featuring threaded connection holes and locking mechanisms, allowing the plate to rotate and fold relative to the base for compact storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If a one-piece plate structure is used for the support bench, then structural stability is improved, but storage space and transport space are increased
Solution Approach 1:
The support bench is divided into multiple segments: a base and at least one support plate that can be folded relative to the base. The support plate is divided into a first support plate and a second support plate that can be folded relative to each other. This segmentation allows the structure to be stable when assembled while enabling compact folding for storage and transport.
Solution Approach 2:
The support bench transitions from a static one-piece structure to a dynamic foldable structure. Hinges connect the base to the support plates, and additional hinges connect the first and second support plates. These movable connections allow the bench to change its configuration between an extended stable state for use and a folded compact state for storage.
2Ease of manufacture
If a one-piece plate structure is used for the support bench, then manufacturing simplicity is improved, but ease of storage and transport is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The support bench is divided into multiple segments: a base and at least one support plate that can be folded relative to the base. The support plate is divided into a first support plate and a second support plate that can be folded relative to each other. This segmentation allows the structure to be stable when assembled while enabling compact folding for storage and transport.

3Adaptability or versatility
If support plates are added to expand functionality, then versatility is improved, but device complexity is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The support bench is designed with a base and multiple support plates that can be configured in different arrangements. The first support plate and second support plate can be folded relative to each other and to the base, allowing the same structure to serve multiple functions - providing support at different angles and configurations for various shooting positions and firearm types, thereby achieving multi-functionality without requiring multiple separate devices.

AI summary
The present invention discloses a foldable support bench comprising a support plate and a base. The support plate is provided with at least one piece, and the support plate is hingedly provided on the base. The base is provided with at least one first threaded connection hole, and the support plate is provided with at least one second threaded connection hole. In the present invention, the support plate is rotatable relative to the base. During use, the support plate is expanded relative to the base, allowing the two to be in a parallel state. When not in use, the support plate is rotated and folded relative to the base, and the two are in a perpendicular state to each other. Compared to existing technology, the present invention has the advantages of a simple and reasonable structure, foldability, reduced storage space, and ease of storage and transportation.
