Suspension Device for Universal Load Attachment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing suspension devices are limited to fixing loads at specific points on supporting structures, lacking flexibility and universality, and often require additional truss constructions when load attachment points do not align with fixed points.
Innovation Solution
A suspension device with multiple degrees of freedom, allowing load attachment means to be detachably arranged circumferentially and vertically, incorporating radially running webs and stop devices with openings for versatile attachment, and capable of accommodating additional equipment like electrical lines or fluid lines, with a covering option for concealment or exposure.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a suspension device is designed to fix loads at specific fixed points on supporting structures, then the structure can be simple and stable, but the device lacks flexibility and universality, requiring additional truss constructions when load attachment points do not align with fixed points
Solution Approach 1:
The suspension device is segmented into multiple independent attachment points distributed around the supporting structure. Each attachment point can independently bear load, allowing the device to adapt to various load positions without requiring complex truss constructions to transfer loads between fixed points
Solution Approach 2:
The device provides multiple attachment points that can serve different functions - some for primary load bearing, others for secondary attachments or alternative load positions. This multi-functionality allows a single device to handle various loading scenarios without requiring additional specialized structures
2Adaptability or versatility
If a suspension device allows multiple degrees of freedom for load attachment, then versatility improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment points are arranged in multiple dimensions around the supporting structure - both circumferentially at different angles and vertically at different heights. This multi-dimensional arrangement provides extensive attachment flexibility while maintaining relatively simple individual attachment point structures
Solution Approach 2:
The device allows dynamic reconfiguration of load attachments - loads can be moved between different attachment points as needed. The structure accommodates this dynamic usage pattern through its multiple fixed attachment points, avoiding the need for complex movable or adjustable mechanisms

AI summary
The invention relates to a suspension device for a load lifting sling. The object of the invention is to create such a suspension device that is more universally applicable and has a simple design. This is achieved by arranging a support bolt 4 on a base plate 3, arranging at least one first stop device 6 concentrically to the axis 5 of the support bolt 4, and arranging radially extending webs 7 between the support bolt 4 and the stop device 6, connecting the support bolt 4 to the stop device 6.
