Threaded Circular Saw Blade Holder for Secure Retail Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing circular saw blade holders inhibit potential purchasers from contacting the saw blade and do not facilitate easy display or storage, particularly in retail settings.
Innovation Solution
A saw blade holder system comprising a base, blade mount, and retaining member with threads, designed to securely hold circular saw blades through a central aperture, allowing easy installation and removal, and featuring an anti-rotation mechanism to prevent blade rotation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a packaging holder is used to display circular saw blades, then the saw blades can be securely displayed and stored, but potential purchasers cannot contact the saw blade directly
Solution Approach 1:
The holder is designed with a modular structure consisting of a base, a vertical mount, and a retaining member that can be independently adjusted. This segmentation allows the retaining member to be positioned at different heights and angles, enabling customers to easily access and contact the saw blade while maintaining secure display.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder acts as an intermediary between the saw blade and the customer. Instead of the customer directly handling the blade on a flat surface, the blade is mounted on a vertical holder with a retaining member that can be easily opened, allowing customer contact while maintaining organized display and security.
2Quantity of substance
If a traditional packaging holder is used, then storage is possible, but easy display and stacking in retail settings is not facilitated
Solution Approach 1:
The holder transitions from a traditional horizontal packaging layout to a vertical orientation. The blade is displayed vertically on the mount, allowing multiple holders to be stacked vertically in retail settings, maximizing space utilization while maintaining easy access and display efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The retaining member is designed to be easily adjustable and removable, allowing quick changes between display and storage modes. The dynamic design enables retail workers to efficiently arrange and rearrange blades without complex tools or procedures.
3Reliability
If a secure retaining mechanism is used, then the saw blade is held firmly, but quick assembly and disassembly is inhibited
Solution Approach 1:
The retaining mechanism is segmented into a retaining member and a retaining feature, allowing independent adjustment and removal. This segmentation enables quick assembly by simply attaching the retaining member to the mount, and quick disassembly by removing the retaining member, all while maintaining secure blade retention when engaged.
Solution Approach 2:
The retaining member is designed with dynamic characteristics, allowing it to be easily inserted and removed from the retaining feature. When engaged, it provides secure retention; when disengaged, it allows rapid blade changes. The design balances security and speed through its simple engagement mechanism.
