Adjustable Fastening Beams for Stroller Standing Board
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing standing boards for children's strollers lack versatility in accommodating various stroller designs, making it difficult to achieve a secure and adjustable attachment to different stroller models.
Innovation Solution
The standing board features adjustable fastening beams that can be twisted and moved along the stroller's edge, allowing for secure attachment to diverse stroller designs by varying the angle and distance of the connecting arms, ensuring compatibility with multiple stroller types.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the fastening beams are made fixed and non-adjustable, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to different stroller designs deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening beams are designed with adjustable mechanisms that allow them to change position and angle dynamically. The beams can be moved along the standing board's edge and twisted to different angles, transforming a static structure into a dynamic one that adapts to various stroller configurations while maintaining reasonable complexity through straightforward mechanical adjustments.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the fastening beams are made adjustable to fit various stroller designs, then the adaptability improves, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to complex adjustment procedures
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustment mechanism is divided into independent segments: the beams can be adjusted along the edge in one direction and twisted independently in another direction. This segmentation allows each adjustment function to be simple and straightforward, while the combination of segments provides comprehensive adaptability to different stroller designs.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the fastening beams are aligned perpendicular to the movement direction, then the structural stability is improved, but the adaptability to different stroller configurations deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The beam alignment transitions from a fixed perpendicular orientation to a dynamic configuration where beams can be twisted to various angles. This dynamic adjustment capability allows the structure to maintain stability in each configured position while adapting to different stroller geometries, resolving the conflict between fixed stability and flexible adaptability.

AI summary
This invention is a Standing board for prams, which is fastened to a pram with fastening beams that protrude from the Standing board and that have means for fastening to the pram on their outer ends. The fastening beams (4, 5) point forward in the Standing board's normal direction of movement and are basically parallel with it. They are also adjustable in a right angle to the movement direction, mounted on the forward edge of the Standing board with their fastenings (8, 9), which have means for retaining the fastenings in their adjusted position on the Standing board (1). The fastening beams are mounted in a manner that allows them to be twisted in the fastenings for adjustment of their angle relative to the supporting area.
