Wang Jianmin is demonstrating the bicycle anti-theft lock he invented .
Huaxing Times News (Reporter Fan Ling) After three years of researching patents on bicycle anti-theft locks, he finally succeeded in obtaining national patents, but lacked sufficient start-up funds. Recently, Yinchuan City inventor Wang Jianmin told reporters about the distress in his heart.
Wang Jianmin, 35, is a Yinchuan native. From 1990 to 2003, he lost only 7 bicycles alone, and the economic losses caused by the loss of bicycles were also large. As a result, Wang Jianmin sprouted the idea of inventing a bicycle lock that the thief could not open.
Since 2000, Wang Jianmin has used metal welding technology in the Northwest Coal Mine Machinery Manufacturing School, and has picked up the pen to start designing the anti-theft lock drawings. After the locks on the market, such as mechanical locks, electronic locks, magnetic locks, etc. The reason he found that thieves are easy to get is that these locks have a cut point. After repeated trials and experiments, in 2003, Wang Jianmin's new invention was born, this is an anti-theft lock that can prevent the loss of bicycles. The cost of the lock is about 5 yuan, and the shape can be round, square, butterfly and other geometric shapes. It consists of three parts: the lock case, the lock body, the lock core, and the functions of anti-cutting, anti-drilling, anti-smashing, etc. To open only use the key. The production process is simple, easy to mass-produce, and can be assembled. At the same time, he applied for a patent to the State Intellectual Property Office. On May 12, 2004, the State Intellectual Property Office issued an authorization notice, and the “Bicycle Anti-theft Lock” was awarded a utility model patent certificate. According to Wang Jianmin's investigation, the price of existing bicycle locks, such as the price of ordinary anti-theft locks, is generally 20-30 yuan, and the high-end is 50-70 yuan. The cost of the anti-theft lock he invented is only 5 yuan, and its profit margin can be imagined.
However, in order to turn the invention into a product, it is necessary to have a production line. "It has been five years since I got the patent, and I have been unable to put into production because of lack of funds." Wang Jianmin said helplessly. It takes at least 200,000 yuan to build a factory and purchase equipment. A worker who works can get so much money. In order to confirm the prospects of the project, Wang Jianmin took his patent in 2007 to participate in the Ningxia Youth Entrepreneurship Competition of the year and won the third place. At that time, experts agreed that the project was operational, but because of the sale in Yinchuan market. The locks are produced from the south, and there is no production line in the local area, so he has not found a partner so far. He said that no matter how difficult it is to promote its own patents, I hope to find a partner as soon as possible.
