MOVING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18090688 titled 'MOVING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a moving device that can be embedded in the floor of a vehicle. The device includes a rail unit, a storage unit, a magnetic unit, a magnetic shield unit, and a fixing unit. The magnetic unit is configured to have opposite polarities on both sides with respect to the longitudinal direction of the rail unit.
- The moving device is designed to be embedded in the floor of a vehicle.
- It includes a rail unit that serves as a track for the movement of a storage unit.
- The storage unit can move along the rail unit.
- A magnetic unit is positioned in the storage unit and can also move along the rail unit.
- The magnetic unit has opposite polarities on both sides, which helps in its movement along the rail unit.
- A magnetic shield unit is placed on both side surfaces of the magnetic unit to increase adherence between the magnetic unit and the rail unit.
- A fixing unit is used to fasten the device to the floor and limit the movement of the storage unit.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Automotive industry: The moving device can be used in vehicles to create adjustable storage compartments or seating arrangements.
- Public transportation: The device can be utilized in buses or trains to provide flexible seating options or storage solutions.
- Shipping industry: The technology can be incorporated into cargo ships or containers to secure and organize goods during transportation.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Limited space utilization: The moving device allows for efficient use of space by providing adjustable storage or seating options.
- Secure storage: The magnetic unit and magnetic shield unit ensure that the storage unit stays in place during movement, preventing items from shifting or falling.
Benefits of this technology:
- Versatility: The device can be customized to fit different vehicle types and configurations.
- Improved organization: The adjustable storage compartments help in organizing items and maximizing available space.
- Enhanced safety: The magnetic unit and shield unit provide stability and prevent items from moving or falling during transportation.
