A vehicular accessory adapter with a front connector, spacer, and attachment elements that allow for secure attachment to a front vehicular mount, enabling the attachment of holster accessories like fishing poles.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a traditional vehicular accessory adapter is used, then the accessory can be attached to the vehicle, but the attachment location is limited and does not provide adequate clearance for holster accessories

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveattachment location optionsVSAvoidclearance for accessory

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The adapter extends the attachment capability from traditional rear window or side mirror locations to the front exterior portion of the vehicle, utilizing a different spatial dimension and location on the vehicle body. This allows holster accessories to be positioned at the front with adequate clearance, resolving the limitation of fixed attachment locations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Ease of manufacture

If the adapter structure is simplified, then manufacturing is easier, but secure attachment of holster accessories cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveadapter structureVSAvoidattachment security

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The adapter is divided into distinct functional segments: a mount portion for attachment to the front vehicular mount, a connector portion for receiving the holster accessory, and attachment elements. This segmentation allows each component to be manufactured independently using simple processes while ensuring secure attachment through specialized interfaces at each segment.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If multiple attachment elements are used, then secure attachment is achieved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveattachment securityVSAvoidadapter structure

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple attachment elements are integrated into a single unified adapter structure rather than being separate components. The attachment elements, connector portion, and mount portion are merged into one piece that can be installed as a single unit, achieving secure attachment without proportionally increasing overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A vehicular accessory adapter attaches a holster accessory to a front vehicular mount, and includes attachment elements; a front connector having a main body, front connector openings, and a front connector upper body having upper body openings; and a spacer having spacer openings, and configured to be positioned between the front vehicular mount and the front connector. The attachment elements are configured to respectively extend through the front connector openings and to interface with the front vehicular mount to attach the front connector to the front vehicular mount, and the upper body openings are, positioned above the connector openings, and configured to facilitate attachment of the holster accessory to the front connector upper body.
