Adaptable Portable Douche Apparatus with Modular Adapter Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing douche apparatuses lack adaptability and portability, as they are not designed to be easily stored and used with various types of squeezable bottles.
Innovation Solution
A douche apparatus with a modular design, featuring a nozzle and adapter assembly that can be configured for storage and portability, and is adaptable to different types of squeezable bottles through interchangeable bottle adapters.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the douche apparatus uses a fixed design, then the structure is simple, but the adaptability to different bottle types is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The adapter assembly is designed with multiple bottle adapter options (first bottle adapter, second bottle adapter, third bottle adapter) that can be interchangeably attached to the same nozzle. Each bottle adapter is configured to fit different bottle thread types, allowing a single nozzle design to work with multiple bottle types, thereby achieving universality without requiring multiple complete douche apparatus sets
Solution Approach 2:
The douche apparatus is divided into separable components: a nozzle and multiple bottle adapters. The bottle adapters can be detached and replaced independently from the nozzle, allowing users to switch between different bottle types without replacing the entire apparatus. This segmentation enables adaptability while keeping each individual component relatively simple
2Ease of operation
If the nozzle is permanently attached to the adapter assembly, then the device is more stable, but the portability and storage convenience are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The connection between the nozzle and bottle adapters is designed to be dynamically changeable rather than fixed. The nozzle can be readily attached to and detached from different bottle adapters during use, providing stability when connected and ease of reconfiguration when needed. This dynamic connection allows the system to transition between stable operation and convenient storage/transport states
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple bottle adapters are included, then the versatility increases, but the device complexity and storage space requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple bottle adapters are combined into a single integrated adapter assembly structure. The first bottle adapter, second bottle adapter, and third bottle adapter are all attached to the same nozzle, creating one unified assembly that provides multiple bottle type compatibilities. This merging approach allows versatility to be achieved without requiring separate complete douche apparatus sets for each bottle type

AI summary
A douche apparatus adaptable to a bottle and configurable for storage and portability may comprise a nozzle and an adapter assembly having one or more bottle adapters, a nozzle attachment end, a bottle attachment end and an adapter assembly central portion. The douche apparatus is adaptable to a bottle having bottle threads mateable to the bottle attachment end, and is configurable for storage and portability, wherein the nozzle may be detached from the adapter assembly and be situated within the adapter assembly central portion. The douche apparatus may further comprise a case having a case housing and a case cap having an interior side comprising threads mateable to the bottle attachment end, wherein the adapter assembly may be attached to the interior side of the case cap prior to an attachment of the case cap to the case housing.
