Modular Tool Display Boxes With Stable Hanger Coupling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional tool receiving devices fail to effectively display and store various types and sizes of tools, as they tend to swing and disengage from the board, limiting the types and sizes of tools that can be displayed due to the limitations of retaining rings or insertion holes.
Innovation Solution
A displayable tool receiving device with a hanger body featuring rectilinear coupling portions and positioning protrusions, combined with modular tool receiving boxes that include pivotable and clamping mechanisms to securely engage with the hanger body, preventing tools from swinging and allowing for enhanced assembly, display, and storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional retaining rings or insertion holes are used to hold tools on a board, then tools can be stored, but the tools are liable to swing and disengage from the board
Solution Approach 1:
The tool receiving device is divided into modular tool receiving boxes that can be independently assembled and disassembled. Each box is a separate unit with its own retaining mechanism, allowing the system to be segmented into multiple functional modules that can be configured flexibly while maintaining reliable tool retention in each module
Solution Approach 2:
The tool receiving boxes are designed with movable and adjustable components that allow dynamic adaptation to different tool sizes and shapes. The boxes can be positioned at different locations on the hanger body and adjusted to accommodate various tool configurations, providing both stability and flexibility
2Adaptability or versatility
If retaining rings or insertion holes are used to hold tools, then tools can be stored, but the types and sizes of tools that can be displayed are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The tool receiving boxes are designed as universal modules that can accommodate multiple types and sizes of tools through adjustable configurations. Each box can be adapted to hold different tool types by adjusting its position and configuration on the hanger body, making the system multi-functional and versatile while maintaining reliable retention
Solution Approach 2:
The modular boxes can be dynamically repositioned and reconfigured to accommodate different tool types and sizes. This dynamic adaptability allows the system to versatility in tool accommodation while maintaining stable retention through the engineered coupling and positioning mechanisms
3Ease of operation
If tools are displayed on a board with retaining rings, then tools can be visible for access, but the tools are liable to swing and disengage
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the tool storage into individual modular boxes, each tool or group of tools is contained in a separate unit that is securely retained. This segmentation allows tools to be easily accessed by removing or adjusting individual boxes while preventing swinging and disengagement through the secure coupling mechanisms of each module
