MIRSOGEN Adjustable Steel-Wire Tool for Asymmetrical Templates
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for drawing asymmetrical assemblies in workshops are time-consuming and inefficient, often requiring multiple trial-and-error attempts and constrained by digital tools that limit creativity and precision.
Innovation Solution
The MIRSOGEN tool uses adjustable steel wires secured by screws to create a flexible guide for drawing asymmetrical shapes, allowing rapid and precise template creation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional manual drawing methods are used to create asymmetrical assemblies, then design flexibility is maintained, but the process becomes time-consuming and requires multiple trial-and-error attempts
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-positioning adjustable reference points and guide wires along the boundaries before drawing begins. These elements can be adjusted to define the asymmetrical shape in advance, allowing the drawer to simply follow the pre-established guides rather than repeatedly redrawing and adjusting lines during the drawing process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces intermediary elements (adjustable reference points, pins, and guide wires) that mediate between the design intent and the final drawing. These intermediaries serve as physical guides that translate abstract asymmetrical shape requirements into concrete drawing boundaries, eliminating the need for trial-and-error line drawing.
2Productivity
If advanced software solutions are used for design, then the design process is accelerated, but creativity is constrained and visually repetitive solutions occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the design process into physical, hands-on manipulation of adjustable reference points and guide wires, rather than working with unified digital models. This segmentation allows for intuitive, creative exploration of asymmetrical shapes while maintaining speed, as each element can be independently adjusted without being constrained by software interfaces or predefined templates.
3Manufacturing precision
If multiple trial-and-error attempts are made to achieve desired shapes, then precision can be improved, but paper consumption and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses physical intermediaries (reference points, pins, and guide wires) that directly define the desired asymmetrical shape on the drawing surface. These intermediaries serve as reusable templates that can be adjusted and repositioned without consuming additional paper, eliminating the need for multiple trial drawings while maintaining high shape accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements discarding and recovering by allowing the adjustable reference points and guide wires to be removed, repositioned, and reused for different asymmetrical shape requirements. This reusable approach replaces the traditional method of discarding paper sheets after each failed attempt, significantly reducing material consumption while preserving the ability to achieve precise shapes.

AI summary
The development of the MIRSOGEN tool originated from the inventor's unique artistic symbol, which resembles a pine branch in a heraldic style. This symbol served as the foundation for the creation of an original and distinctive design for workshop asymmetrical templates and/or assemblies, or their components, applicable in both industry and architecture. The materials used in its construction include a Forex board (130 cm x 100 cm x 1 cm), 3 mm steel wire, and screws with lateral holes, secured using standard and wing nuts.
