Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing storage devices, particularly tool bags, lack versatility and stability, making them less portable and secure for use on service vehicles.
Innovation Solution
A storage device with a base plate and guide device that allows flexible storage bags to be pulled out and secured on a shelf structure, combined with a rigid container using coupling devices for enhanced stability and versatility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of moving object
If a flexible storage bag is used, then portability and compactness are improved, but stability and secure stowing on service vehicles deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The storage system is divided into two distinct components: a flexible storage bag for portability and a rigid base plate for stability. The base plate segments the functionality, providing structural support while the bag provides flexible storage capacity.
Solution Approach 2:
The flexible storage bag is combined with a rigid base plate that includes coupling devices. This merging allows the flexible bag to benefit from the structural stability and secure mounting capabilities of the rigid base plate when deployed on service vehicles.
2Stability of the object's composition
If a rigid container is used, then stability and secure stowing are improved, but portability and compactness deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system separates the rigid structural elements (base plate with coupling devices) from the flexible storage elements (bag). The rigid base plate can be mounted separately on service vehicles to provide stable mounting points, while the bag remains flexible and compact for transport.
Solution Approach 2:
The rigid base plate serves multiple functions: it provides structural stability, acts as a mounting platform for service vehicles through guide devices, and offers coupling interfaces for both rigid containers and flexible bags. This multi-functionality allows a single component to address both stability and portability needs.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a storage device is designed for service vehicles, then versatility and adaptability are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling devices on the base plate are designed with universal compatibility, allowing them to interface with both rigid containers and flexible storage bags. The guide devices provide universal mounting capability across different service vehicle configurations, reducing the need for vehicle-specific adaptations.
Solution Approach 2:
The flexible storage bag can be nested within or attached to the rigid base plate structure. This nesting arrangement allows the system to adapt to different storage needs while maintaining a compact form factor when not in use, without requiring complex deployment mechanisms.
