Strap Connection Member With Multi-Directional Ring Hangers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional strap connection members lack product compatibility, limiting their functionality to fix and adjust straps in only one direction, requiring multiple straps and connection members for complex connections, which increases manufacturing and distribution costs and results in an inconvenient and aesthetically poor appearance.
Innovation Solution
A strap connection member featuring a pair of ring-shaped strap hangers with curved corners and a slit that expands from the base, allowing for adjustable strap length and multi-directional connections, with the option to form a ring for connecting various accessories.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional connection members are designed with different structures for fixation and length adjustment, then specific functions are achieved, but product compatibility is lost and manufacturing costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The connection member is designed with a single integrated structure that performs multiple functions: the first strap hanger fixes the first strap, the second strap hanger adjusts the length of the second strap, and the ring structure enables connection to various appendages. This universal design eliminates the need for separate fixation and adjustment components, achieving product compatibility while maintaining functional versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention merges previously separate components (fixation mechanism and length adjustment mechanism) into a single integrated connection member. The base, first strap hanger, second strap hanger, and ring structure are combined into one unit that simultaneously provides fixation, adjustment, and multi-directional connection capabilities, thereby reducing the number of separate parts needed.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple straps and connection members are used to achieve multi-directional connections, then connection flexibility is improved, but appearance deteriorates and usage becomes inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The single connection member provides universal functionality for multi-directional connections through its ring structure and multiple strap hangers. Users can connect the first strap in one direction and the second strap in another direction simultaneously, achieving connection flexibility equivalent to multiple separate components but with improved ease of operation and aesthetics.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple types of connection members are manufactured and distributed, then specific functions are satisfied, but productivity decreases and distribution costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The invention provides a universal connection member design that covers multiple functions (fixation, length adjustment, multi-directional connection) in a single standardized product. This eliminates the need to manufacture and distribute multiple specialized connection members, thereby improving manufacturing productivity and reducing distribution costs while maintaining comprehensive functional coverage.

AI summary
A strap connection member is disclosed. The strap connection member includes a pair of ring-shaped strap hangers provided at one side of a base and integrally formed so as to be spaced apart from each other. Therefore, the strap connection member may simply fix straps or connect straps such that the lengths of the straps are adjustable, and simultaneously connect two or more straps in different directions.
