Sliding Support Strip Mount for Strapping Band Accessories
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mounting systems for accessories on strapping bands do not allow for easy and secure positioning of sensors or functional elements near objects like hydrogen reservoirs, interfering with the clamping process and lacking flexibility in positioning.
Innovation Solution
A mounting device with a support strip that slides along the strapping band, featuring a fixing zone, slider system, and locking mechanism, allowing the support strip to be positioned and locked at desired locations without interfering with the clamping process, facilitated by a hollow space between the strips.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the accessory is mounted directly on the strapping band, then the mounting is secure, but the clamping process is interfered with and positioning flexibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is divided into two separate components: the strapping band for clamping and the support strip for accessory mounting. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently - the strapping band clamps the object without interference, while the support strip provides a dedicated platform for secure accessory mounting with positioning flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The support strip acts as an intermediary element between the strapping band and the accessory. It is mounted on the strapping band but provides a separate mounting surface, thereby mediating between the clamping function and the accessory mounting function without allowing them to interfere with each other.
2Manufacturing precision
If the accessory is mounted close to the object, then the positioning precision is improved, but the mounting becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The support strip incorporates a slider system with locking mechanism that allows it to move dynamically along the strapping band during installation and then lock into place. This dynamic capability enables precise positioning of the accessory close to the object while keeping the mounting structure relatively simple through the use of standard sliding and locking components.

AI summary
The mounting device (12) for mounting an accessory (14) on a strapping strip (10) comprises a support strip (22) comprising a fixing zone (24) for an accessory, a slider system (28A, 28B, 30A) for retaining the support strip relative to the strapping strip while allowing the support strip to slide along the strapping strip and a locking system (40) for blocking this sliding in a given position of the support strip relative to the strapping strip.
