Solution Overview

Problem

Existing scooter accessory fixing devices are complex to implement and lack universal adaptability, requiring specific accessories for each scooter model and often cannot be securely attached to complex geometries like the central support tray, leading to instability and the need for frequent replacements.

Innovation Solution

A universal fixing device with a strap passage and Velcro fastening means that can be attached to any scooter element, allowing for easy adaptation to various scooter types and locations, including the central support tray, ensuring secure and removable attachment of accessories.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing accessory fixing devices are used, then accessories can be attached to the scooter, but the devices are complex to implement and lack universal adaptability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different scooter modelsVSAvoidcomplexity of fixing device implementation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing a fixing device with a support tray that can be universally attached to various scooter models. The support tray serves multiple functions: it provides a mounting surface for accessories, acts as an attachment interface to the scooter body, and offers structural support. This single component replaces multiple model-specific fixing mechanisms, enabling one accessory system to work across different scooter types without requiring custom implementation for each model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If existing fixing devices are used, then accessories can be mounted, but they cannot be securely attached to complex geometries like the central support tray

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecure attachment to scooter elementsVSAvoidadaptability to complex geometries
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by designing the support tray with specific geometric features tailored to match the complex geometry of the scooter's central support area. The tray includes contours, recesses, and attachment points that are locally adapted to the specific geometry of the scooter body, ensuring secure attachment. This localized geometric adaptation allows the same support tray design to reliably attach to complex surfaces that generic fixing devices cannot secure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If model-specific accessories are used, then compatibility with the scooter type is ensured, but the user must predict replacement needs when changing scooters

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompatibility with scooter typeVSAvoidtime for accessory replacement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent resolves the replacement time issue by implementing universal compatibility through the standardized support tray design. The tray uses generic attachment mechanisms (such as Velcro® or magnetic systems) that can be easily detached and reattached to different scooter models. This universality allows users to transfer accessories between scooters without complex replacement procedures, reducing the time and effort required when changing vehicles while maintaining reliable compatibility across models.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
