STRUCTURE FOR FIXING MOVABLE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18079232 titled 'STRUCTURE FOR FIXING MOVABLE DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a structure for fixing a movable device in a vehicle. The structure includes a rail unit mounted inside the vehicle's floor, a movable storage part that can slide along the rail unit, and a fixing unit on the storage part that limits its movement.

  • The fixing unit consists of a housing located in the storage part.
  • A locking rod is placed inside the housing and can be inserted into a fixing bracket on the rail unit.
  • A first limiting rod restricts the vertical movement of the locking rod.
  • A second limiting rod limits the movement of the first limiting rod when it is separated from the locking rod.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Automotive industry: This structure can be used to securely fix movable devices in vehicles, such as seats or storage compartments.
  • Public transportation: It can be implemented in buses, trains, or airplanes to ensure the stability of movable components like seats or tables.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Unwanted movement: The structure prevents the storage part from moving freely, ensuring that the movable device remains fixed in place.
  • Safety concerns: By securely fixing the movable device, the risk of accidents or injuries caused by loose components is reduced.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Stability: The structure provides a reliable and stable fixing mechanism for movable devices.
  • Versatility: The rail unit and storage part can be adapted to different sizes and types of movable devices.
  • Ease of use: The fixing unit allows for easy insertion and removal of the locking rod, facilitating the installation and removal of the movable device.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed is a structure for fixing a movable device. The structure for fixing a movable device includes a rail unit mounted inside the floor of a vehicle, a storage part configured to be movable along the rail unit, and a fixing unit provided on the storage part so as to be adjacent to the rail unit to limit movement of the storage part. The fixing unit includes a housing disposed in the storage part, a locking rod disposed in the housing and configured to be insertable into a fixing bracket disposed on the rail unit, a first limiting rod configured to limit movement of the locking rod in a vertical direction, and a second limiting rod configured to limit movement of the first limiting rod in the state of separation of the first limiting rod from the locking rod.
