Storage facility for object of paying of respects
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing storage facilities for objects of paying respects require manual operation to move objects in and out of the internal area, which can be cumbersome and occupy significant space, lacking efficient mechanisms for easy operation and space utilization.
Innovation Solution
A storage facility design with a wall opening for moving objects between the internal and external areas, featuring a support portion that can be moved between inside and outside support positions, allowing objects to be transferred without manual support, thus simplifying operations and minimizing external space usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual operation is used to move objects in and out of the internal area, then operational flexibility is maintained, but operational ease deteriorates and space requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
A support portion acts as an intermediary mechanism between the internal and external areas. This support portion can be moved between an inside support position (within the internal area) and an outside support position (extending to the external area), allowing objects to be transferred through the wall opening without requiring manual carrying across the entire external space.
Solution Approach 2:
The support portion is designed to be dynamic rather than static. It can extend from the internal area to the external area when needed for object transfer, and then retract back to the internal area when not in use. This dynamic positioning reduces the permanent external space footprint while maintaining operational capability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a structure is provided outside the wall for moving objects, then object transfer capability is improved, but space utilization deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The support portion transitions from a static external structure to a dynamic element that can extend and retract. When extended to the outside support position, it provides object transfer capability. When retracted to the inside support position, it minimizes the space occupied outside the wall, allowing the external area to be used for other purposes.
Solution Approach 2:
The support portion utilizes the third dimension (depth/extension beyond the wall) temporarily when needed, rather than occupying external horizontal space permanently. By extending through the wall opening and then retracting, it provides transfer capability without permanently consuming external area.
3Productivity
If manual operation is required for object transfer, then device complexity is reduced, but productivity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The support portion serves as a simple intermediary mechanism that bridges the internal and external areas. It provides a stable surface for placing objects during transfer, eliminating the need for manual carrying while keeping the mechanism relatively simple in structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The support portion can be moved between positions through the wall opening, allowing the system to serve itself in the object transfer process without requiring complex automated handling systems. The simplicity of the support portion movement provides efficiency improvement without proportionally increasing complexity.

AI summary
An opening for allowing an object of paying of respects to be moved therethrough is formed in a wall. An inside support position for an object of paying of respects to be supported at is set at a position that is in the internal area and across from the opening and in a range over which the transport device is capable of moving an object of paying of respects. A support portion configured to support an object of paying of respects is also configured to be moved, through the opening, between the inside support position and an outside support position for an object of paying of respects to be supported at such that at least a portion of the object of paying of respects is located outside the internal area.
