Tenon-Structure Holding Device for Electronic Casing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Notebook computers, despite their increasing functionality, often become monotonous for users over time, leading to a need for designs that enhance user experience and value.
Innovation Solution
A holding device with a tenon structure that can be contained inside a casing and fixed outside, allowing it to hold objects like aromatic containers, thereby providing a fun and engaging experience during prolonged use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If the holding device is contained inside the casing when not in use, then the device structure is compact and space-efficient, but the device cannot provide additional functional value when needed
Solution Approach 1:
The holding device is nested inside the casing when not in use, with the holding body stored within the inserting slot. When needed, the holding device can be deployed outward to provide holding functionality, thus achieving compact storage while maintaining adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The holding device transitions from a static stored state inside the casing to a dynamic deployed state where it can hold objects. The tenon structure enables this dynamic transformation by allowing the holding body to be activated and separated from the inserting slot when force is applied.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the holding device is fixed outside the casing, then it can hold objects effectively, but it cannot be contained inside the casing when not in use
Solution Approach 1:
The holding device is segmented into separable components: the holding body and the tenon structure. This segmentation allows the holding device to be contained inside the casing when not in use, while still being able to deploy and fix outside the casing when needed to provide holding capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The holding device employs dynamic deployment through the tenon structure, which allows the holding body to transition from a retracted position inside the casing to an extended position outside the casing, providing holding capability only when needed.
3Reliability
If the tenon structure is used for fixing the holding body on the casing, then the holding device is securely attached, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing function is extracted into a separate tenon structure that protrudes from the holding body. This tenon structure can be inserted into corresponding slots on the casing to provide secure attachment, while the main holding body remains simple and compact.

AI summary
A holding device adapted to a casing of an electronic device is disclosed. The holding device includes a holding body and at least one tenon structure. The holding body is separately installed in an inserting slot on the casing. The at least one tenon structure protrudes from the holding body, and the at least one tenon structure is for providing a place for force to be applied, so as to activate the holding body to separate from the inserting slot. The at least one tenon structure is further for inserting into at least one engaging slot on the casing, so as to fix the holding body on the casing for holding an object.
