Solution Overview

Problem

Current baby bottle holders are not adaptable to various baby positions during feeding, causing strain on caregivers and are inconvenient to set up and relocate, especially when feedings occur in a baby carrier.

Innovation Solution

A bottle holding system with a frame assembly and adjustable beam that can be secured to different surfaces, allowing the bottle to be positioned at various angles and used in baby carriers, providing stability and ease of use.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed-position bottle holder is used, then the bottle can be securely held, but it cannot adapt to various baby positions during feeding

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveadaptability to various baby positionsVSAvoidholder structure complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic bottle holder system where the bottle can rotate and adjust its angle of inclination. The holder includes a vertical rod that can rotate within a base, and the bottle can be positioned at different angles along the rod, allowing adaptation to various baby positions during feeding while maintaining structural simplicity through straightforward rotational and angular adjustment mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If a portable bottle holder is used, then it can be relocated easily, but it may not provide sufficient stability

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveease of setup and relocationVSAvoidholder stability

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the bottle holder into separate modular components: a base with a vertical rod, an attachment mechanism, and the bottle. This segmentation allows the holder to be easily assembled and disassembled for relocation while maintaining stability when assembled, as each component can be independently optimized for its specific function.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The attachment mechanism is designed to nest onto the vertical rod, with the bottle holder attachment fitting securely around the rod structure. This nested configuration provides stable support for the bottle while allowing the entire assembly to be compactly stored and easily transported when disassembled.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Adaptability or versatility

If a simple bottle holder structure is used, then it is easy to manufacture, but it cannot be adapted to baby carriers

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecompatibility with baby carriersVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs the bottle holder with universal adaptability features, including a standardized base that can function both as a standalone unit and as an attachment for baby carriers. The vertical rod and attachment mechanism are designed to accommodate different mounting configurations, allowing the same basic structure to be used in multiple environments without requiring complex manufacturing variations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
