Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple fastening device designs are used to accommodate different orientation directions, then cable fastening in various directions is enabled, but warehousing and logistics costs increase and device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening device incorporates a rotatable mounting part that can be positioned at different angles (0°, 45°, 90°, 135°, 180°, 225°, 270°, 315°) relative to the base part, allowing a single device design to fasten cables in multiple orientation directions. This eliminates the need for multiple specialized fastening device variants.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting part is designed to be rotatable relative to the base part before being fixed in position. This dynamic capability allows the fastening device to adapt to different cable routing requirements by rotating the mounting part to the appropriate angle, then securing it in that position to maintain the desired cable orientation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple fastening device designs are used to accommodate different orientation directions, then cable fastening in various directions is enabled, but warehousing and logistics costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
A single fastening device design with a rotatable mounting part replaces multiple specialized device variants, reducing inventory variety. The mounting part can be rotated to eight different angular positions (0°, 45°, 90°, 135°, 180°, 225°, 270°, 315°), enabling one device to perform the function of what would otherwise require eight different device types.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention combines the functionality of multiple orientation-specific fastening devices into a single multi-functional device. The base part, mounting part, and fastening elements are integrated into one system where the mounting part's rotatability provides the orientation adjustment capability that previously required separate device designs.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a rotatable mounting part is used to achieve flexible cable routing, then cable orientation flexibility is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting part is designed with rotational freedom relative to the base part, allowing it to be positioned at different angles during installation. After positioning, the mounting part is fixed in place using the fastening element, creating a stable yet adaptable connection that balances mechanical simplicity with functional flexibility.

AI summary
The invention relates to a fastening device (10) for at least one cable (44), comprising an edge clipping piece (12) for attaching the fastening device (10) to an edge (28) of a base piece (26), and a retaining mechanism (30) for at least one cable insulating tape (40) that surrounds at least one cable (44). The retaining mechanism (30) has fastening sections (38). The disclosed fastening device (10) is characterized in that the fastening sections (38) form a holder for the cable insulating tape (40) in three mutually perpendicular directions in which the cable insulating tape is oriented such that a cable insulating tape (40) can be alternatively fastened to the base piece (26) in one of said three directions in which the cable insulating tape is oriented.
