Labyrinthine Fixing System Prevents Unintentional Disconnection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional fastening solutions often result in unintentional disconnection of mounted elements, lacking a secure mechanism to prevent accidental separation.
Innovation Solution
A labyrinthine fixing system comprising two parts, where the Labyrinth Part and Erring Part are designed with specific channel sizes and orientations to require intentional action for connection and disconnection, ensuring secure mounting without unintentional release.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional fastening solutions are used, then mounting function is achieved, but unintentional disconnection occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing system is divided into two separate parts: a Labyrinth Part and an Erring Part. The Labyrinth Part contains a channel with specific dimensional constraints that the Erring Part must navigate to achieve proper engagement. This segmentation creates a mechanical path that prevents accidental disconnection while allowing intentional assembly and disassembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The Erring Part is designed to be inserted through the channel of the Labyrinth Part, with the Erring Part nesting within the structural constraints of the Labyrinth Part. The channel dimensions are specifically designed to accommodate the Erring Part during insertion while preventing its removal without intentional action.
2Reliability
If fasteners with locking solution are used, then mounting function is achieved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses two simple, separate components rather than a complex locking mechanism. The Labyrinth Part contains a channel with specific dimensional constraints, and the Erring Part is designed to fit within these constraints. This segmentation achieves secure mounting through geometric constraints rather than complex locking features.
Solution Approach 2:
The channel in the Labyrinth Part has specific local dimensional characteristics (width and depth measurements) that create the fixing function. Rather than making the entire structure complex, only the channel portion has the specialized geometry needed to prevent unintentional disconnection while maintaining overall structural simplicity.

AI summary
The subject of the invention is the physical work, shaped spatially, in the form of the system of two parts with the presented structure arranged in labyrinthine fixing fulfilling a mounting function without locking solution.Labyrinthine system of fixing, being the subject of the invention, offers open solution for fixing of the two elements without its unintentional disconnection possibility.According to the invention the Labyrinthine system of fixing is composed of its two parts: Labyrinth that can be built into a larger or smaller element and Erring Part that can be carried through Labyrinth Part the way described in the present patent description.The Erring Part of the Labyrinthine system of fixing can be built into a larger or smaller element. Disconnection of fixed Erring and Labyrinth parts of the Labyrinthine system of fixing or in general, elements into which the Erring and Labyrinth parts are built in connected by the Labyrinthine system of fixing requires intentional action by carrying the Erring Part back the same way (described in the present patent description) as it was carried out to be fixed.Labyrinth part is composed of two identical parts with the opposite orientation, crosswise separated by the channel being the part of the way the Erring Part of the Labyrinthine system of fixing is carried through and back for the purpose of connection or disconnection of two parts of the Labyrinthine system of fixing.The Erring Part is designed the way to make it possible to carry the Erring Part through Labyrinth Part and place it in vertical orientation in Labyrinth Part fixing Labyrinth and Erring Parts of Labyrinthine system of fixing.
