Vehicle Window Fixing Kit With Frame Slot Adjustment Profile
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
When a vehicle window breaks, there is an urgent need for a temporary replacement that is resistant, does not obstruct visibility, is easy to install, and can be done at a low cost by the user until a proper repair can be made.
Innovation Solution
A kit comprising an adjustment profile that fits into the vehicle's window frame, a transparent sheet that attaches to the profile, and joining means, allowing for quick and simple temporary replacement of vehicle windows.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional adhesive tape is used to fix the transparent sheet around the window periphery, then the sheet can be attached to the vehicle body, but the tape peels off easily due to wind and atmospheric elements, and it is difficult to seal properly on curved or non-flat surfaces
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an adjustment profile as an intermediary component between the transparent sheet and the vehicle frame. This profile serves as a mediator that simplifies the fixing process by providing a standardized interface that attaches to the frame slot rather than requiring direct taping to curved surfaces, thereby improving both reliability and ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The invention divides the window replacement system into separate functional components: the adjustment profile that interfaces with the frame, and the transparent sheet that attaches to the profile. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently - the profile for secure frame attachment and the sheet for clarity and weather protection
2Object-affected harmful factors
If plastic or cardboard with adhesive tape is used as a temporary replacement, then the window opening is covered, but visibility is lost and the solution is not safe
Solution Approach 1:
The patent specifies that the sheet must be transparent rather than opaque like traditional plastic or cardboard solutions. This transparency maintains illumination intensity and visibility while still providing the necessary protection from wind, rain, and other atmospheric elements, resolving the contradiction between protection and visibility
3Reliability
If a proper window repair is waited for, then a permanent solution is achieved, but the vehicle must be stopped or driven in uncomfortable and dangerous conditions for several days
Solution Approach 1:
The patent describes a temporary window replacement solution designed for short-term use until permanent repair can be performed. The adjustment profile and transparent sheet constitute a disposable or temporary fixing system that provides adequate protection and functionality during the waiting period, minimizing loss of time without requiring expensive or complex permanent repair infrastructure
Solution Approach 2:
The kit allows users to perform preliminary repair action themselves immediately when window damage occurs, rather than waiting for professional repair services. By providing all necessary components (adjustment profile, transparent sheet, joining means) in a ready-to-use kit, the user can conduct preliminary fixing action right away, reducing the time spent in dangerous or uncomfortable driving conditions

AI summary
Temporary window fixing kit for vehicles comprising an adjustment profile (1), for coupling to the slot (11) of the frame where the window (13) to be replaced is to be placed, a transparent sheet (2), pre-cut to size or can be cut to the size of the window, and joining means (14) for fixing the sheet (2) to the adjustment profile (1) once coupled to the frame. The adjustment profile (1) has a wide part (1a) for adjusting to the slot (11) and a tab (1b) on the opposite part with the joining means (14). For adjustment to the slot (11), the profile (1) has on the wide part (1a), either an expansion mechanism (E) or a clamping mechanism (P) with an adjustment tool (7), or longitudinal grooves(S). Optionally, it also comprises a protective profile (3).
