Vehicle Net Pocket Apparatus with Movable Frame and Guide Rails
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle luggage room storage solutions, such as fixed trays and spare tire compartments, are inconvenient for storing small items due to their fixed positions and require cumbersome operations, limiting their usability when the luggage room is full or contains bulky cargo.
Innovation Solution
A detachable and foldable net pocket apparatus with a base frame and movable frame system, featuring guide rails, wire locking mechanisms, and fabric hook and loop fasteners, allowing flexible mounting and easy storage without position restrictions, enabling the net to unfold and store items by its own weight.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed tray is provided on the side wall of the luggage room, then items can be stored at a fixed position, but the tray cannot receive and store items when the luggage room is full or contains bulky cargo
Solution Approach 1:
The tray is designed with a movable support leg that can be adjusted to different positions and heights, allowing the tray to adapt to various storage needs and space conditions in the luggage room, transforming a static structure into a dynamic one that responds to changing requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The tray structure can serve multiple functions: it can be mounted on the side wall when space permits, or the support leg can be extended and positioned elsewhere when the luggage room is full, allowing the same device to fulfill storage needs under different conditions
2Adaptability or versatility
If a tray is provided fixed on the side wall, then storage space is utilized, but a separate space for installation of the tray must be secured in the luggage room
Solution Approach 1:
The support leg is designed to be movable and adjustable rather than fixed, allowing the tray to be positioned in different locations within the luggage room depending on available space, eliminating the need for a dedicated fixed mounting location
Solution Approach 2:
The tray structure is divided into separate components (tray body, support leg, mounting mechanism) that can be independently positioned and adjusted, allowing flexible placement without requiring a continuous fixed space
3Ease of operation
If the net wire is rotatably coupled to the movable frame, then the net can be folded and kept when not in use, but a wire locking mechanism is required to restrain rotational movement
Solution Approach 1:
The wire locking mechanism is designed to automatically engage and disengage based on the rotational position of the net wire, using the wire's own movement to trigger the locking and unlocking actions without requiring separate control mechanisms

AI summary
A net pocket apparatus for a vehicle includes a base frame having guide rails formed respectively on opposite inner surfaces. A movable frame has guide protrusions moving along the guide rails. The movable frame is nested in and fixed to the base frame when the guide protrusions are positioned at one ends of the guide rails while the movable frame is fixed in a form of protruding from the base frame when the guide protrusions are positioned at the other ends of the guide rails. A net wire with opposite ends is rotatably coupled to the movable frame such that it is fixed to the movable frame in a form of being nested in the movable frame or a form of protruding from the movable frame. A net is coupled to the net wire.
