Threaded Rod Fastening Element for Universal Load Carrier Securing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing devices for securing goods to be transported are limited by their inability to be universally used on different load carriers and are difficult to handle due to complex component interactions.
Innovation Solution
A device featuring a rod-shaped fastening element with a thread at its end for direct screw-mounting onto a load carrier, allowing secure fastening without additional components and supporting universal usability across various load carriers, including Euro pallets.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If multiple components and fastening elements are used to secure goods, then the securing strength is improved, but the device complexity and difficulty of handling increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions (fastening to load carrier, engaging with goods, and securing mechanism) into a single integrated fastening element. This rod-shaped element features a first end for direct fastening to the load carrier and a second end with a retaining element for engaging with goods, eliminating the need for separate fastening components and reducing overall device complexity while maintaining securing strength
Solution Approach 2:
The fastening element is designed with universal applicability to work with various load carriers without requiring specialized configurations. The rod-shaped design with standardized fastening capabilities allows the same component to be used across different load carrier types, reducing the need for multiple specialized fastening devices
2Reliability
If specialized load carriers are used with specific fastening configurations, then the securing reliability is improved, but the adaptability to different load carriers deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening element is designed with universal applicability to work with various load carriers without requiring specialized configurations. The rod-shaped design with standardized fastening capabilities allows the same component to be used across different load carrier types, reducing the need for multiple specialized fastening devices
3Reliability
If additional securing components like brackets and retaining elements are added, then the retention security is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
