Solution Overview

Problem

Current wig storage and transportation solutions fail to efficiently accommodate multiple hairpieces of varying sizes and lengths, often requiring multiple holders and lacking adjustable features for secure and space-saving storage and transport.

Innovation Solution

A device with multiple adjustable extension rods and circular disc pieces that attach to a center support, allowing for customizable height, orientation, and secure storage and transport of multiple hairpieces, featuring a handle for easy mobility and optional clamps for secure hold.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple wig holders are used to accommodate multiple hairpieces, then the capacity to store different sizes and lengths is improved, but the space requirement and device complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecapacity to store different sizes and lengthsVSAvoidspace requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple wig-holding capabilities into a single integrated device. The base support structure integrates multiple extension rods that can each hold different types of hairpieces (wigs, toupees, extensions) simultaneously, eliminating the need for multiple separate holders and reducing space requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The extension rods are designed with universal adaptability to accommodate various hairpiece types and sizes. Each rod can be adjusted and configured to hold different styles of wigs, toupees, or hair extensions, making the single device capable of storing multiple different hairpieces without requiring specialized holders for each type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If fixed-height wig holders are used, then the device structure is simplified, but the ability to accommodate various hair lengths is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to accommodate various hair lengthsVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The extension rods incorporate adjustable height mechanisms that allow users to dynamically change the height of each rod according to the specific hairpiece being stored. This dynamic adjustability enables the device to accommodate various hair lengths while maintaining a relatively simple base structure that supports the adjustable components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The device structure is segmented into a stable base support and multiple independent extension rods. This segmentation allows the base to remain simple and stationary while the individual rods can be independently adjusted in height and position, providing adaptability without requiring the entire device structure to be complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If multiple hairpieces are transported separately, then each hairpiece is securely protected, but the portability and convenience are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecure protection of each hairpieceVSAvoidportability and convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The device merges multiple hairpiece-holding capabilities into a single portable unit with a base support and multiple extension rods. Users can securely store and transport multiple hairpieces simultaneously on one device, eliminating the need to carry multiple separate holders and improving convenience while maintaining secure protection for each hairpiece.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The single device serves multiple functions: it can hold different types of hairpieces (wigs, toupees, extensions) of various sizes and lengths, provide secure storage during transport, and remain portable due to its integrated design. This multi-functionality improves ease of operation compared to using multiple separate holders.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

4Adaptability or versatility

If adjustable extension rods are used, then the adaptability to different hairpiece sizes is improved, but the device complexity and manufacturing difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different hairpiece sizesVSAvoidmanufacturing difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The extension rods incorporate adjustable mechanisms that allow height and position changes to accommodate different hairpiece sizes. These adjustable features are designed to be integrated into the rod structure itself, allowing for adaptability while maintaining reasonable manufacturing feasibility through standardized adjustable components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The device is segmented into a simple base support structure and multiple independent extension rods with adjustable features. This segmentation allows the complex adjustable mechanisms to be concentrated in the individual rods rather than the entire device, making manufacturing more manageable by separating the simple base from the more complex but modular rod components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
