Seatback Strap Assembly for Securing Bags During Vehicle Travel
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Vehicles face challenges with limited storage capacity and objects moving during travel due to insufficient securing in existing storage solutions, and existing storage components are restrictive in size and do not provide structural support.
Innovation Solution
A strap assembly that couples with a vehicle's seatback, allowing objects like backpacks and bags to be secured, increasing storage capacity and providing structural support by integrating with the seatback.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If objects are placed in vehicle storage areas, then storage capacity is utilized, but objects move during travel due to insufficient securing
Solution Approach 1:
The strap assembly is divided into multiple functional segments: a main body portion that interfaces with the seatback, adjustable strap portions for securing objects, and fastening mechanisms. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function optimally - the main body provides structural support while the straps provide adjustable securing force, resolving the contradiction between object stability and securing reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The strap assembly incorporates adjustable-length straps with fastening mechanisms that allow dynamic adaptation to different object sizes and securing requirements. The adjustability enables the system to maintain optimal securing force across various loading scenarios, ensuring both object stability and securing reliability without being overly restrictive or ineffective.
2Volume of stationary object
If existing storage components are used, then storage capacity is provided, but they are restrictive in size and do not provide structural support
Solution Approach 1:
The strap assembly merges the functions of structural support and storage securing into a single integrated system. The main body portion couples with the seatback to provide structural support, while the strap portions extend from this structure to secure objects. This combination allows the storage solution to simultaneously provide both structural reinforcement and size-appropriate securing, resolving the contradiction between storage capacity and structural support.
Solution Approach 2:
The strap assembly serves multiple functions: it provides structural support to the seatback, enables storage of variously sized objects through adjustable straps, and secures objects during vehicle travel. This multi-functionality allows a single component to address both the need for structural support and the need for adaptable storage capacity across different object sizes.
3Strength
If strap assembly is integrated with seatback, then structural support is provided and storage capacity increased, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The strap assembly incorporates self-adjusting and self-securing mechanisms that reduce the complexity of installation and use. The fastening mechanisms allow users to easily adjust and secure straps without requiring complex tools or procedures, while the main body automatically interfaces with the seatback structure. This self-service capability mitigates the perceived complexity by making the system intuitive and easy to operate despite its multifunctional nature.
