Storage facility for object of paying of respects
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing storage facilities for paying respects cannot properly present objects due to variations in viewing surface sizes, leading to inadequate presentation of objects when the selected viewing surface does not match the size of the object's viewing surface.
Innovation Solution
A storage facility with a transport system and a respects-paying window that includes an altering device to adjust the visually unobstructed area based on the size of the selected viewing surface, allowing for proper presentation regardless of the viewing surface size, using variable-light-transmittance members or exposed-area-reducing-and-increasing members to control the viewing area.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed-size viewing area is provided in the partition wall, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but objects with different viewing surface sizes cannot be properly presented
Solution Approach 1:
The viewing area is made dynamic through the altering device that can change its size according to the object being displayed. The window opening size is no longer fixed but can be adjusted to match different viewing surface dimensions, allowing the system to adapt to various object sizes while maintaining proper presentation proportions.
Solution Approach 2:
The physical parameter of the window opening size is changed based on the object's viewing surface size. By varying the opening dimension parameter, the system achieves adaptability to different object sizes, ensuring that each object is properly framed and presented regardless of its original dimensions.
2Manufacturing precision
If the viewing area size is changed to match different objects, then proper presentation is achieved, but the device complexity increases due to the altering device
Solution Approach 1:
The viewing area transitions from a static fixed opening to a dynamic adjustable opening. The altering device enables the window size to change dynamically based on the displayed object, achieving precise framing and presentation for each object while maintaining system flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The altering device provides multi-functionality by enabling the same window structure to accommodate multiple object sizes. This universal solution allows a single viewing area to serve various purposes for different objects, achieving precise presentation without requiring separate fixed openings for each object size.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed partition wall design is used, then construction is simple and quick, but it cannot accommodate objects of varying sizes properly
Solution Approach 1:
The partition wall's viewing area is transformed from a static fixed opening to a dynamic adjustable opening through the altering device. This allows the otherwise simple fixed wall structure to gain flexibility in accommodating different object sizes, combining construction simplicity with operational adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The viewing area is segmented from the fixed partition wall structure through the altering device mechanism. This segmentation allows the viewing area to be independently adjusted while the main wall structure remains simple and fixed, achieving flexibility without compromising construction ease.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Ensures that the object is presented effectively by adjusting the viewing area to match the selected viewing surface size, maintaining a consistent gap and enhancing the presentation of objects in the respects-paying area.
Implementation Method 1
the altering device includes variable-light-transmittance members each of whose light transmittance can be adjusted
Implementation Method 2
the altering device includes one or more exposed-area-reducing-and-increasing members capable of changing the size of an exposed area

AI summary
A storage facility for objects of paying of respects includes a partition wall provided to partition off a support location from a respects-paying location, and a respects-paying window configured to allow a person visiting to pay respects to view an object of paying of respects being at the support location. Each object of paying of respects has at least one viewing surface which is a surface selectable to be viewed through the respects-paying window. A plurality of kinds of viewing surfaces are provided. The respects-paying window is provided with an altering device configured to change the size of a visually unobstructed area depending on the size of the viewing surface, of an object of paying of respects located at the support location, that is selected to be viewed, the visually unobstructed area being an area through which a person visiting to pay respects can view the object.
