Motorcycle Bag Tilting Kit for Lid Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing motorcycle bag supporting frames do not allow complete opening of lateral bags when an upper bag is mounted, as the lateral bag's lid is constrained by the upper bag's presence, requiring dismounting of either the lateral or upper bag to access the lateral bag.
Innovation Solution
A supporting and tilting kit that includes a lateral supporting frame with tubular elements and a tilting device, allowing the lateral bag to tilt and remain securely engaged with the frame, enabling complete opening of the bag's lid even when an upper bag is mounted.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If an upper bag is mounted with an upper supporting frame, then the upper bag is securely supported, but the lateral bag's lid cannot be completely opened due to constraint from the upper bag
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting frame is divided into separate upper and lateral components that can independently support different bags. The lateral supporting frame can be configured to allow complete opening of the lateral bag lid without being constrained by the upper bag, while the upper supporting frame maintains secure support for the upper bag. This segmentation enables independent operation of each bag compartment.
Solution Approach 2:
The lateral supporting frame is designed with a three-dimensional configuration that creates sufficient space in the lateral dimension to allow the lid to open completely. The frame structure extends and positions components such that the lid rotation path is not blocked by the upper bag, providing operational freedom in the opening motion while maintaining structural support.
2Ease of operation
If the lateral bag is designed to open completely, then access to contents is improved, but the supporting frame structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The lateral supporting frame incorporates dynamic positioning capabilities that allow the frame components to adjust and accommodate the full range of motion of the lid. The frame structure is designed with movable or adjustable elements that maintain support while permitting complete lid opening, reducing the need for overly complex fixed structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The lateral supporting frame acts as an intermediary structure that mediates between the upper bag constraint and the requirement for complete lid opening. It provides a dedicated support path and rotation axis for the lid that is independent from the upper bag mounting, allowing the lid to open fully without compromising the upper bag support or requiring complex integrated structures.
3Ease of operation
If the bag is tilted to access contents, then complete opening is enabled, but secure engagement with the supporting frame may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The engagement system is segmented into multiple independent contact points and engagement mechanisms distributed along the bag's attachment path to the supporting frame. This segmentation ensures that when the bag is tilted, at least one engagement point maintains secure connection, preventing complete disengagement while allowing the tilting motion necessary for access.
Solution Approach 2:
The engagement mechanism incorporates dynamic elements that maintain secure connection during tilting motion. The engagement points are designed with sufficient flexibility and range of motion to accommodate the tilted position while maintaining reliable connection. The supporting frame structure provides stable anchor points that keep the bag securely engaged even when tilted for access.
