Universal Two-Wheeler Stand Adapter with Rotating Plate
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing stand devices for two-wheeled vehicles are limited in flexibility and accessibility, requiring separate adapters for each model, with complex and cumbersome adjustment mechanisms, and often only usable on the left side of the vehicle, lacking reliable security against rotation and limited angle settings.
Innovation Solution
An adapter system with a holding part and adapter plate that allows variable angle settings (0° to 360°) via a central bushing and tangential fit, enabling secure attachment to a stand device with a single central fastening, allowing use on either side of the vehicle and precise positioning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a central fastening screw is used to attach the adapter to the stand device, then the attachment is simplified, but the rotational position is not reliably guaranteed due to insufficient counterforce against torque
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the fastening function and the anti-rotation function into a single integrated solution. The L-shaped fastening element merges the central fastening screw with a perpendicular counterforce generation mechanism, allowing both attachment and rotational position stability to be achieved through one component rather than separate mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The elongated hole acts as an intermediary element that enables the fastening element to generate counterforce against torque. By allowing the fastening element to move laterally within the elongated hole, the system creates a mechanical lever arm that produces the necessary counterforce to prevent rotation, without requiring complex additional components.
2Adaptability or versatility
If separate adapters are designed for each two-wheeler model, then the fit to specific vehicles is optimized, but the device complexity and number of components increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal adapter design where the adapter plate and holding part configuration can accommodate multiple two-wheeler models. By making the adapter plate removable and replaceable, a single base adapter structure serves multiple vehicle types, eliminating the need for entirely separate adapters for each model while maintaining optimal fit through interchangeable components.
3Manufacturing precision
If complex adjustment mechanisms are used to set the inclination angle, then the positioning precision is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic adjustment mechanism where the adapter plate can be freely rotated to any inclination angle during operation. The quick-release fastening system allows the user to easily change the rotational position of the adapter plate without complex locking mechanisms, maintaining precision through the ability to set and hold any angle while preserving ease of operation through simple fastening and release actions.

AI summary
The invention relates to an adapter 1 for attaching a two-wheeler 2 to a stand 3 and a device for lifting a two-wheeler 3. To enable simpler, safer, and more flexible lifting, an adapter 1 is comprising: - an adapter plate 4 with one or more devices 5 for receiving the two-wheeler 2 and with a through-hole 6, and - a retaining part 7 for placement in the through-hole 6 with a passage 8 for the arrangement of a fastening means 9 for attaching the retaining part 7 to the stand 3, wherein the retaining part 7 and the through-hole 6 of the adapter plate 4 are designed to correspond such that the adapter plate 4 can be adjusted and fixed in a rotational position relative to the retaining part 7, and a device 3 for lifting a two-wheeler 2 with a stand and at least one adapter 1 is proposed.
