Weighted Anti-Slip Holder Base for Dashboard Mount Stability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current support rod mechanisms for vehicles often damage cigarette lighters, ruin interior decorations, and obstruct drivers' views when attached, making them unsafe and inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
A base apparatus with a weight and anti-slip mechanism that allows the support rod to be placed on a flat surface, using distributed weight units and anti-slip materials to maintain stability without adhesives or suction, enabling secure holding of electronic devices in vehicles and other flat surfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the support rod is plugged into the cigarette lighter, then the support rod can be engaged and held, but the cigarette lighter is damaged
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the support rod engagement function from the cigarette lighter socket, creating a separate base apparatus that sits on the dashboard surface. This eliminates the harmful interaction with the cigarette lighter while maintaining the engagement stability function through a dedicated mounting structure with weight distribution and anti-slip features.
2Reliability
If the support rod is glued to the surface above the dash board, then the support rod can be engaged and held, but the interior decoration is ruined
Solution Approach 1:
The invention replaces the adhesive bonding method with a mechanical engagement system consisting of a base apparatus with weight units and anti-slip means. This extraction eliminates the harmful effect of ruining interior decoration while maintaining engagement stability through physical contact and friction-based holding mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The base apparatus acts as an intermediary between the support rod and the dashboard surface. Instead of directly gluing the support rod to the surface, the base apparatus provides a mediating platform with anti-slip means that creates stable engagement through friction and weight distribution, preventing damage to the interior decoration.
3Reliability
If the support rod uses sucker to attach to windshield, then the support rod can be engaged and held, but the driver's view is blocked and safety is interfered with
Solution Approach 1:
The invention moves the engagement location from the vertical windshield surface to the horizontal dashboard surface. This dimensional change in mounting location eliminates the obstruction of the driver's forward view while maintaining engagement stability through the base apparatus design with weight units distributed on the dashboard surface.
4Stability of the object's composition
If the base apparatus uses weight units distributed along boundaries, then the base apparatus achieves stability on flat surfaces, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The base apparatus is segmented into modular components including connection unit, fixed unit, and multiple weight units that can be independently positioned along the boundaries. This segmentation allows the stability function to be achieved through distributed weight placement while keeping the overall structure relatively simple and modular.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention applies weight units specifically at the boundary regions of the base apparatus where they are most effective for providing stability. This local concentration of weight at critical positions achieves maximum stability with minimum added complexity, rather than uniformly distributing weight throughout the entire 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
The solution provides a stable and removable platform for electronic devices in vehicles, preventing damage and obstruction, while allowing easy relocation and use on various surfaces, enhancing safety and versatility.
Implementation Method 1
an anti-slip means, and at least a weight object... The weight unit also forms an engagement segment on the contacting boundary region of the anti-slip means and the wrap means
Implementation Method 2
The base apparatus has a proper weight and can be placed on the flat surface above the dash board so that the base apparatus will stay unmoved even in a bumpy road condition

AI summary
A base apparatus for providing engagement to advice holder is provided, including a connection unit, a fixed unit, and at least a weight unit. The connection unit is for connecting a clapper or holder of electronic device, and the fixed unit is engaged to the bottom of the connection unit. The weight unit is sandwiched between and partially contained within the boundaries of the connection unit and the fixed unit. The weight unit includes a wrap means, an anti-slip means, and at least a weight object. The boundaries of the anti-slip means and the wrap means are engaged together to form a space for accommodating the weight object.
