Attachable Bottle Container With Rotatable Wall for Secure Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Carrying personal items alongside a bottle during activities like exercise can be cumbersome, as traditional bags or pockets may be impractical and items may fall out or require unnecessary additional items.
Innovation Solution
An attachable container with an adjustable wall that attaches to a bottle, featuring a storage shell, bottle-adaptable attachment, and a rotatable adjustable wall secured by a ball detent, providing a secure storage space for items.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If traditional bags or pockets are used to carry personal items during exercise, then items can be stored, but the user needs to carry additional separate items that add bulk and inconvenience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the bottle and storage container into a single integrated unit. The storage shell is permanently attached to the bottle body, eliminating the need to carry separate bags or pockets. Items are stored in the storage shell that is already part of the bottle assembly, reducing the total number of items the user must carry while maintaining ease of access during exercise activities.
2Reliability
If a fixed storage container is attached to the bottle, then items have a secure storage space, but the container cannot adapt to different storage needs or access requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a rotatable wall mechanism that can pivot between a closed position (securing items) and an open position (allowing access). The rotatable wall is coupled to the storage shell and can be manually rotated by the user. This dynamic element provides both security when closed and accessibility when opened, adapting to different user needs without requiring multiple separate containers.
3Reliability
If the storage container is completely sealed, then items are protected from falling out, but items cannot be easily accessed or added without removing the entire container from the bottle
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the storage container into segments: a fixed storage shell attached to the bottle and a movable rotatable wall that can be independently operated. This segmentation allows the user to open only the portion needed for access while the rest of the container remains securely attached to the bottle. The rotatable wall acts as a separate access mechanism that does not require removing the entire storage container from the bottle.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The attachable container offers a practical and secure way to carry personal items, eliminating the need for separate bags or pockets by utilizing the bottle as a base for storage, keeping items organized and secure.
Implementation Method 1
a ball detent
Implementation Method 2
an adjustable wall that surrounds an outside of the storage shell and is rotatably coupled to the storage shell
