Pet Carrier Strap-Guiding Bracket for Vehicle Seat Stability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing pet transport carriers lack stability during vehicle transportation, leading to safety risks due to tilting or falling, and there is a need for improved fixation and strength to secure pets during movement.
Innovation Solution
A carrier design featuring a bracket device with interconnected brackets and a fixing strap assembly that securely attaches to a vehicle seat, utilizing multiple fixing components and a strap-guiding mechanism to enhance stability and strength.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing transport carriers are used without additional fixing systems, then the carrier structure remains simple, but the carrier cannot be stably fixed in the vehicle and may tilt or fall during movement
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket device is divided into multiple independent brackets (first bracket, second bracket, third bracket) that can be separately assembled and connected to different parts of the carrier, allowing distributed fixation points that improve stability without requiring a completely complex integrated structure
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket device extends in multiple spatial dimensions with brackets positioned at different heights and locations, creating a three-dimensional fixation system that prevents tilting and falling by distributing restraint forces across multiple axes
2Reliability
If vehicle seat belts are used to secure the carrier, then fixation is achieved, but the overall strength and stability are insufficient to prevent tilting or falling during vehicle movement
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket device merges multiple support functions into a single integrated structure that combines rigid bracket elements with strap connection points, creating a hybrid fixation system that leverages both structural strength and flexible restraint to prevent carrier movement during vehicle operation
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket device appears to combine different materials with complementary properties, including rigid materials for the bracket structure to provide strength and potentially softer or more flexible materials for connection points to allow secure attachment of fixing straps while maintaining overall structural integrity

AI summary
Disclosed is a carrier, including a bracket device and a strap-guiding mechanism. The bracket device includes a first bracket and a third bracket. The strap-guiding mechanism is arranged on the first bracket or the third bracket. The strap-guiding mechanism is configured to engage with a fixing strap assembly to fix the bracket device to a vehicle seat. The strap-guiding mechanism includes a shell body, and the shell body defines a channel. The channel has a first port and a second port for allowing the fixing strap assembly to pass through.
