MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611107296 A) filed by Chandigarh University on September 07, 2026, for Sequential-Interlock Habit-Tracking Device With Mechanical Token Gating.
Inventors include Shubham Sharma; Sukhmani Singh; and Ashita Chadha.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: A sequential-interlock habit-tracking device comprises an elongated rail body carrying a plurality of sequential day-stations, each having a token socket for receiving a physical token. A mechanical sequential interlock mechanism comprises sensing plungers, transfer links, blocking gates and return springs. Seating a physical token in an accessible token socket depresses an associated sensing plunger, which actuates a transfer link to release the blocking gate of only the immediately succeeding day- station, while subsequent day-stations remain blocked. The arrangement thereby permits the tracking record to advance one station at a time in a predetermined sequence. Successively seated tokens form a visible physical record of completed activities. A reset lever restores the interlock mechanism to an initial condition and releases the tokens for a subsequent tracking cycle. The device operates mechanically without requiring electronic sensing, battery power, software or network connectivity.
