Adjustable Strap Structure for Universal Container Carrying
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional container carrying methods, such as using disposable bags, are inconvenient and lead to resource waste, as they often cause containers to fall or spill contents, especially with large or hot items, and contribute to environmental pollution.
Innovation Solution
An adjustable container carrying strap structure featuring a strip-shaped strap with sleeve ropes and an adjusting element, allowing the strap to encircle containers of various sizes, keeping them upright and reducing the need for disposable bags.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If disposable bags are used to carry containers, then containers can be carried, but resources are wasted and environmental pollution increases
Solution Approach 1:
The container's own structure (container mouth and body) is utilized as the carrying mechanism, eliminating the need for external disposable bags. The container serves its own carrying function through the strap structure that interfaces with its mouth and body.
Solution Approach 2:
The strap structure can accommodate containers of different sizes and shapes by adjusting the strap length and positioning, making it a universal carrying solution that replaces multiple disposable bags with a single reusable system.
2Ease of operation
If containers are held by hand or by grasping the cover, then containers can be carried, but containers may fall off or spill contents
Solution Approach 1:
The carrying system is divided into distinct functional components: a first strap portion that interfaces with the container mouth and a second strap portion that interfaces with the container body, providing distributed and secure contact points that prevent slipping and spilling.
3Ease of operation
If shopping bags are used to carry containers, then containers can be carried, but the carbon footprint increases
Solution Approach 1:
The reusable strap structure replaces disposable shopping bags, allowing the carrying system to be used repeatedly without discarding. This recovery and reuse approach eliminates the continuous production and disposal cycle that generates carbon emissions.
4Device complexity
If a fixed-size carrying strap is used, then the strap structure is simple, but it cannot accommodate containers of different sizes
Solution Approach 1:
The strap structure incorporates adjustable length capability through the connection between strap portions, allowing the configuration to dynamically adapt to different container sizes while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure when not in use.

AI summary
An adjustable container carrying strap structure includes a strip-shaped carrying strap and a container sleeving assembly. The strip-shaped carrying strap includes a first end, a second end, and a carrying strap body. The container sleeving assembly includes two sleeve ropes and an adjusting element, where each sleeve rope includes a first rope end, a second rope end, and a rope body, the first rope end of each sleeve rope is connected to the first end, the second rope end of each sleeve rope is connected to the second end, and the adjusting element is assembled on the two rope bodies of the two sleeve ropes, so that the adjusting element, the two rope bodies, and the first end of the strip-shaped carrying strap encircle a container sleeving hole. The adjusting element can slide relatively along the two rope bodies so as to adjust the size of the container sleeving hole.
