Vehicle Sun Visor Ticket Holder with Escape Portion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional vehicle sun visors with ticket holders are limited in their ability to hold thick tickets due to the restricted elastic deformation of the holder body, which restricts the thickness of tickets that can be accommodated.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle sun visor design featuring a plate-shaped visor body with an escape portion on its front surface and a ticket holder that uses both the elastic deformation of the holder and the ticket itself, along with a convex portion to securely hold thicker tickets, while minimizing high elastic deformation of the holder, and is integrated with a support shaft and fixation mount for secure attachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the holder body is made with limited elastic deformation capability, then the holder body maintains structural stability, but the thickness of tickets that can be held is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The invention introduces an escape portion that creates a third dimension (depth) into the visor body, allowing the ticket to be compressed in the depth direction rather than relying solely on the holder body's elastic deformation. This dimensional change enables thick tickets to be held without requiring excessive deformation of the holder body, thus maintaining structural stability while accommodating varying ticket thicknesses.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the physical state of the ticket by elastically deforming it toward the escape portion, rather than relying entirely on the holder body's deformation. This parameter change in the ticket's state allows it to adapt to the holding space, enabling the system to accommodate thick tickets while the holder body maintains its structural integrity with limited deformation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the ticket holder is designed to hold thick tickets, then ticket thickness accommodation is improved, but the holder body undergoes high elastic deformation which may cause deformation or breakage
Solution Approach 1:
By providing an escape portion that extends into the visor body in the depth direction, the invention creates additional space for ticket compression without requiring the holder body to deform excessively. This dimensional solution allows thick tickets to be held while the holder body remains structurally stable and resistant to deformation or breakage.
Solution Approach 2:
The escape portion acts as an intermediary space between the holder body and the ticket, absorbing the compression force required for thick tickets. This intermediary structure allows the holder body to maintain its structural integrity while still accommodating thick tickets through the escape portion's depth space.
3Ease of operation
If the escape portion is made wide, then the convex portion is positioned within the width allowing smooth elastic deformation, but the overall structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The escape portion is segmented into a convex portion and a concave portion, with the convex portion having a specific width that allows the ticket to be smoothly compressed. This segmentation enables the structure to achieve ease of operation for ticket insertion while maintaining a relatively simple overall design by dividing the escape portion into functional segments rather than creating a completely new complex structure.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables the secure holding of tickets with larger thickness by utilizing the elastic deformation of both the ticket holder and the ticket, reducing the risk of deformation and breakage, and simplifying the production process by integrating components, thus providing a functional and aesthetically pleasing solution.
Implementation Method 1
the holder body is elastically deformed. Using the elastic deformation of the holder body, the protrusion for holding presses the ticket against the sun visor body
Implementation Method 2
the ticket is pressed by the ticket holder, and is elastically deformed toward the escape portion

AI summary
A vehicle sun visor including a ticket holder that can hold a ticket or the like having a large thickness includes a visor body that has a plate shape. A ticket holder that holds a ticket in cooperation with the visor body is secured to the visor body. The visor body includes an escape portion that passes through or is provided so as to be recessed into a front surface of the visor body, at a position facing the ticket holder.
