Lock Package Holder with Positioning Portions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional lock packages are inefficient in terms of space usage and assembly complexity, especially when multiple locks are handled or transported, as they result in collision and increased volume due to individual packaging.
Innovation Solution
A package holder system that positions locks with positioning portions to prevent collision and allows for stacking, reducing overall volume by alternating the arrangement of package holders and locks, utilizing side plates and partitions to securely position and separate locks within a shared space.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional retail packaging with inner box and outer box is used for each lock, then each lock is individually protected, but the overall volume increases and assembly complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple individual lock packages are merged into a single integrated package holder that can accommodate multiple locks simultaneously. The package holder combines multiple positioning portions and accommodating spaces into one unified structure, eliminating the need for separate inner and outer boxes for each lock, thereby reducing overall volume while maintaining individual lock protection.
Solution Approach 2:
The package holder is designed as a universal structure that can accommodate multiple locks of the same type. It performs multiple functions: protecting each lock individually through separate positioning portions, organizing multiple locks in a compact arrangement, and providing a single unified package that reduces overall volume compared to multiple individual packages.
2Reliability
If conventional retail packaging with inner box and outer box is used for each lock, then each lock is individually protected, but the assembly process becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The package holder merges multiple protection and positioning functions into a single integrated structure. Instead of assembling multiple separate inner boxes and outer boxes, the user only needs to assemble one package holder containing multiple locks, significantly simplifying the assembly process while maintaining individual lock protection through the holder's internal positioning portions.
3Reliability
If multiple single lock packages are used for transporting multiple locks, then each lock is separately packaged, but transport space is wasted and handling becomes inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple individually packaged locks are merged into a single package holder that accommodates multiple locks in a compact arrangement. This eliminates the wasted space that occurs when multiple separate packages are transported, improves handling convenience by providing a single unified package, and maintains individual lock protection through the holder's dedicated positioning portions for each lock.
4Reliability
If multiple single lock packages are used for transporting multiple locks, then each lock is separately packaged, but the locks may collide with each other
Solution Approach 1:
The package holder merges multiple locks into a single protected environment with dedicated positioning portions for each lock. These positioning portions securely hold each lock in place, preventing collision between locks during transport, while still providing individual protection for each lock within the unified holder structure.

AI summary
A lock package is provided. The package holder is suitable to simultaneously position at least two locks. The package holder includes a plate portion and a partition. The plate portion has two opposite surfaces, at least two positioning portions, and a non-positioning portion. The surfaces are configured to be disposed with the locks. The positioning portions are configured to position plural escutcheons of the locks, and a portion of each of the escutcheons is exposed, in which the non-positioning portion is configured to cover a plurality of handles of the locks.
