Wall-Mounted Handle Holder That Locks Mistboy and Fork Together
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing device holders for Mistboys, used in equestrian sports and horse husbandry, are often used briefly and then carelessly parked, blocking space and posing a risk to animals, as they are designed for central storage and require a fork for operation, leading to improper use and distribution of equipment.
Innovation Solution
A device holder with a fastening part and a concave receptacle for vertical device handles, combined with a handle support that blocks the removal path of the first device, ensuring secure storage and mounting of two devices together, preventing separate removal and providing stable, secure attachment to walls or surfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If device holders are designed for central storage only, then storage organization is improved, but accessibility and proper usage near animals deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The device holder is segmented into multiple functional components: a mounting plate for wall attachment, a receptacle for vertical handles, and a handle support for horizontal handles. This segmentation allows the holder to be mounted in convenient locations near animals while maintaining organized storage of multiple devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder utilizes three-dimensional space by providing both vertical handle reception (receptacle) and horizontal handle support (handle support extending laterally). This multi-dimensional approach allows devices to be stored in various orientations and makes them easily accessible from different directions near animal areas.
2Adaptability or versatility
If Mistboys are stored separately from forks, then device independence is improved, but safety and proper usage deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The holder merges the storage of Mistboys and forks into a single integrated unit. The handle support is positioned such that it physically blocks the removal path of devices in the receptacle, ensuring that forks and Mistboys are removed together as a pair rather than separately, eliminating safety hazards from stray equipment.
Solution Approach 2:
The handle support acts as an intermediary element between the mounted devices and the user. It mediates the removal process by requiring the user to first remove the handle support before accessing the devices, thereby ensuring that forks are removed along with Mistboys and preventing unsafe separation of equipment.
3Ease of operation
If device handles are stored horizontally, then ease of removal is improved, but stability and secure fixation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The handle support is designed with asymmetric geometry that provides stable horizontal support for device handles while incorporating blocking features that prevent unintended removal. The support surface is oriented to naturally cradle handles in a stable position, while the blocking configuration requires deliberate action for removal, balancing ease of intended removal with prevention of accidental displacement.

AI summary
The holder i.e. rubbish collector holder (1), has a mounting plate (2) placed on a subsurface, and a one-side opening concave arched pitchfork handle retainer (4) connected with the mounting plate. The retainer accommodates a pitchfork handle of a pitchfork in a perpendicular position. A handle support (5) e.g. supporting surface, for a rubbish collector handle of a rubbish collector is arranged laterally adjacent to the retainer, and is arranged relative to the retainer such that an opening of the retainer is blocked by the rubbish collector handle.
