Solution Overview

Problem

Existing motorcycle covers do not effectively protect both the motorcycle and the rider from inclement weather and direct sunlight, especially for extended periods, and lack a design that accommodates varying motorcycle sizes and rider preferences.

Innovation Solution

A removable, foldable waterproof rectangular cover with loops for engaging around lights and flexible rods for shaping, designed to fit various motorcycle lengths and rider sizes, providing comprehensive protection from elements.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed-size motorcycle cover is used, then the cover provides protection for a specific motorcycle size, but it cannot accommodate varying motorcycle sizes and rider preferences

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccommodation of varying motorcycle sizesVSAvoidcover design complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the cover adjustable rather than fixed. The cover includes adjustable straps and buckles that allow the rider to modify the cover's fit and configuration based on their specific motorcycle size and preferences, transforming a static cover into a dynamic, adaptable system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements universality by designing a cover that can accommodate multiple motorcycle sizes and types through adjustable components. The cover serves multiple functions: it provides protection, allows size adjustment, and can be configured for different rider preferences, making it universally applicable rather than size-specific.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If a removable cover design is used, then the cover can be easily attached and detached, but it may not provide sufficient protection for extended periods in inclement weather

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattachment and detachment easeVSAvoidprotection reliability in adverse conditions
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the cover into multiple detachable sections with individual straps and buckles. This allows the cover to be easily assembled and disassembled while maintaining secure attachment when deployed, as each segment can be independently fastened to ensure reliable protection during extended periods in adverse weather.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
