Portable Mobile Device Fixer with Rigid Rod and Locking Clamp
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fixers for mobile devices are structurally weak, prone to deformation, and fail to securely attach to vertical surfaces, making it difficult to operate devices without displacing them, leading to muscle fatigue and limited portability.
Innovation Solution
A portable fixer with a rigid extension rod, positioning frame, and securing member with locking units that can grasp both horizontal and vertical surfaces, ensuring the device remains stable and secure for operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a flexible hose with clamp is used to suspend mobile device, then the device can be held over a table, but the structure becomes weak and deforms after long term suspension
Solution Approach 1:
The fixer is divided into distinct functional segments: a rigid extension rod for structural support, a positioning frame for device holding, a securing member with clamp for attachment, and a locking unit for fixation. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function optimally, with the rigid rod providing stable long-term support while the clamp and locking unit ensure secure attachment.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixer combines different material properties within its structure - the rigid extension rod provides structural strength and stability, while the clamp portion can incorporate flexible or friction-based elements for gripping. This composite approach allows the overall structure to maintain rigidity for long-term suspension while still providing adaptable attachment capabilities.
2Stability of the object's composition
If a rigid extension rod is used to provide proper rigidity, then the device remains stable during operation, but the fixer becomes less portable
Solution Approach 1:
The fixer incorporates a telescopic or extendable rod mechanism that allows the structure to be compact and lightweight when not in use, yet extend to provide sufficient rigidity and stability when deployed. This dynamic design enables the fixer to adapt its physical characteristics based on usage requirements, maintaining portability while providing structural stability during operation.

AI summary
A fixer for handheld, portable, mobile devices includes an extension rod that has one end provided with a positioning frame for holding and positioning an external mobile device, and has an opposite end provided with a securing member for attaching and securing the extension rod and the positioning frame onto an external article, wherein the securing member and the external article are fixedly connected by a locking unit so as to suspend the mobile device. The fixer is portable and can be easily and quickly mounted on or dismounted from any nearby handrail, particularly as one typically provided in a public transportation vehicle.
