Habitable motor vehicle with table coupling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The combination of an insect protection device and a table fastened to a habitable motor vehicle often excludes each other in their applicability, as both devices are typically located in the same area of the vehicle opening, preventing simultaneous use.
Innovation Solution
A fastening device is designed to allow the table to be coupled to the vehicle while forming an intermediate space that accommodates an insect protection screen, enabling the vehicle opening to be closed effectively and preventing insect intrusion, even when the table is in use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the table is fastened to the vehicle in the region of the vehicle opening, then the table stability is improved, but the insect protection device cannot be arranged in the same area
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling members are designed to extend in multiple spatial dimensions, creating an intermediate space that accommodates the insect protection screen. The vehicle coupling member and table coupling member are arranged to form a three-dimensional structure that allows the screen to be positioned within the space between them, effectively utilizing spatial dimensionality to resolve the conflict between table fastening and insect protection.
Solution Approach 2:
The insect protection screen is nested within the intermediate space formed by the coupling members. The screen is arranged inside the structural framework created by the vehicle coupling member and table coupling member, allowing the insect protection device to be contained within the same regional area where the table is fastened, rather than requiring separate spatial locations.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the insect protection screen closes the vehicle opening, then insect intrusion is prevented, but the table cannot be positioned near the opening for convenient access
Solution Approach 1:
The intermediate space formed by the coupling members acts as an intermediary zone between the table and the vehicle interior. The insect protection screen is positioned within this intermediate space, serving as a mediator that allows the table to remain accessible near the vehicle opening while still providing effective insect protection. The coupling members themselves serve as structural intermediaries that accommodate both functions.
3Area of stationary object
If both the insect protection device and table fastening device are located in the same area, then space utilization is improved, but the devices exclude each other in applicability
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening device is segmented into separate coupling members (vehicle coupling member and table coupling member) that are arranged to create distinct functional zones. The intermediate space between these segmented components accommodates the insect protection screen, allowing both the table fastening function and insect protection function to operate independently within the same general area without interfering with each other's applicability.

AI summary
A habitable motor vehicle includes an interior, an ambience around the vehicle, an opening between the interior and ambience, a door which closes the opening, an insect protection device fastened to the vehicle, a table, and a fastening device which is releasably fastens the table to the vehicle. The insect protection device has an insect protection screen which at least partly closes the opening. The fastening device has coupling members comprising a table coupling member arranged on the table, and a vehicle coupling member arranged on a side of the motor vehicle in a region of the opening. The table and vehicle coupling members are releasably coupled to each other. The table extends from the opening laterally into the ambience when the coupling members are coupled. An intermediate space is formed between the table and the interior having the insect protection screen arranged therein when the coupling members are coupled.
