Swingable Socket Holder for Adjustable Positioning and Secure Engagement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional socket holders fix the orientation of sockets, making them prone to unintended detachment and limiting user-adjustable angles, leading to difficulty in locating and securing sockets.
Innovation Solution
A socket holder with a swingable positioning insertion member that allows adjustable orientation and secure engagement of sockets, featuring a detachable design for wear and tear replacement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the supporting column is fixed to the holder body, then the socket placement orientation is fixed, but the user cannot adjust the usage angle as needed
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting column is designed to be swingable relative to the holder body, transforming the fixed structure into a dynamic one. This allows the supporting column to adjust its angle and position, providing versatility in usage while maintaining a relatively simple structure through the use of a swing mechanism
2Reliability
If the supporting column is fixed to the holder body, then the structure is simple, but the socket is prone to unintended detachment due to unexpected external forces
Solution Approach 1:
The swingable design allows the supporting column to dynamically adjust its position in response to external forces, preventing unintended detachment while maintaining structural simplicity through the swing mechanism
3Reliability
If the protrusion is pressed tightly against the socket by the elastic piece, then the securing effect is achieved, but the socket cannot be easily retrieved without external force
Solution Approach 1:
The elastic piece is designed to be compressible, allowing dynamic adjustment between the secured state (when compressed) and the released state (when external force is applied). This provides both reliable securing and easy retrieval functionality
