Modular Telescopic Support for Two-Wheeled Vehicles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing supports for two-wheeled vehicles require tools for placement and removal and are often specific to a particular type of vehicle, making them inconvenient and limited in adaptability.
Innovation Solution
A modular support system comprising a rod formed by multiple sections that can be coupled and adjusted in length without tools, featuring a housing for coupling to the vehicle and a telescopic foot with a locking mechanism, allowing universal use across different vehicles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the support is fixed to the vehicle using traditional methods, then the support is securely attached, but tools are required for placement and removal making it difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The support rod is divided into multiple sections that can be telescopically extended or retracted. Each section can be independently adjusted, allowing the support to be easily assembled and disassembled without tools while maintaining secure attachment to the vehicle through the housing mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The housing at the first end of the rod is designed to receive and accommodate the multiple sections when retracted. The sections are nested within the housing, allowing compact storage and easy deployment without requiring complex fixing mechanisms or tools.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the support is designed for a specific vehicle type based on length, then it fits that vehicle properly, but it cannot be used on other vehicles
Solution Approach 1:
The support rod transitions from a fixed-length design to a dynamic, adjustable-length structure through telescopic sections. The user can extend or retract the sections to achieve the desired length, allowing the same support to adapt to different vehicle types and sizes without requiring multiple specialized supports.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the support uses a fixed length design, then the structure is simple, but the length cannot be adjusted for different vehicles
Solution Approach 1:
The rod is segmented into multiple telescopic sections that can be independently extended or retracted. This segmentation allows for simple length adjustment without requiring complex mechanisms, as each section can be manually moved relative to the others through the housing.
Solution Approach 2:
The telescopic mechanism is designed to be self-adjusting without requiring external tools or complex locking systems. The user can manually extend or retract the sections by pushing or pulling them, and the housing naturally maintains the adjusted position, eliminating the need for additional fastening mechanisms.

AI summary
A support for two-wheeled vehicles includes a rod which has a first end for coupling to the vehicle and a second supporting end. The rod is formed by a plurality of sections able to be coupled to one another. The sections may be hollow and include a portion with a reduced width which is introduced in an adjacent section. Support is thereby provided for two-wheeled vehicles, in particular bicycles, which allows for the easy placement and removal thereof, without the need to use tools, and which, furthermore, is universal, i.e., the support can be used on any two-wheeled vehicle. The length of the support is able to be varied in a simple way and without the need to use any tools, even allowing the user to use the same support for different vehicles.
