Modular Pouch Attachment Ladder System for Customizable Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing storage compartments, particularly on motorcycles, lack customizable sections to meet individual user needs, making it difficult to organize items effectively.
Innovation Solution
A storage system featuring a mounting panel with a pouch attachment ladder system grid of webbing slots, rigid stay protrusions, and mounting hardware holes, which allows for modular attachment of lightweight load-carrying equipment holsters, ensuring secure and customizable storage solutions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If storage compartments are designed with fixed sections, then manufacturing is simple, but adaptability to different user needs is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The storage system is divided into discrete modular components including individual pouches, rigid stays, webbing straps, and separate mounting hardware. Each component can be independently selected and configured to create customized storage sections tailored to specific user needs while maintaining relatively simple individual manufacturing processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting panel incorporates multiple types of mounting mechanisms (webbing slots, rigid stay slots, screw holes) that can accommodate various pouch configurations and storage requirements. This universal mounting interface allows the same base structure to serve multiple storage purposes with different levels of customization.
2Adaptability or versatility
If modular components are used for customization, then adaptability improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple functional elements are combined into integrated components where possible. For example, the rigid stay includes both the mounting attachment feature and the structural support function in a single piece. The webbing strap integrates both the attachment mechanism and the tensioning function, reducing the total number of separate parts needed while maintaining configurability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system extracts only the essential mounting and structural components needed for customization, eliminating unnecessary elements. The mounting panel provides just the critical attachment points (webbing slots, rigid stay slots, screw holes) required for configuration, allowing users to build custom storage sections without requiring a complete set of pre-assembled complex modules.

AI summary
A storage system is configured to store material on a mountable surface. The storage system includes a mounting panel with a pouch attachment ladder system grid of webbing slots, a plurality of rigid stay protrusion slots and a plurality of mounting hardware holes. A modular lightweight load-carrying equipment holster that has a pouch attachment ladder system grid of webbing. The pouch attachment ladder system grid of webbing fits through the pouch attachment ladder system grid of webbing slots which is then held in place with a rigid stay. The rigid stay further comprises a protrusion in order to prevent the rigid stay from sliding out of the pouch attachment ladder system grid of webbing.
