Solution Overview

Problem

Existing child safety harnesses are cumbersome and require separate carrying, lacking a versatile and integrated solution for securing a child to various chairs during travel.

Innovation Solution

A backpack with an integrated child seat secure device featuring a back support with a front and back cover that creates a space for the chair backrest, a leg strap between the child's legs, and side straps for a three-point connection, allowing easy transformation into a child seat.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a separate safety harness is used to secure a child to a chair, then the child safety is ensured, but the device complexity and carrying burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechild safetyVSAvoidharness system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the child safety harness system with a backpack into a single integrated device. The backpack includes a back support with front and back covers that create a space for receiving a chair backrest, leg straps connected to the front cover for positioning between the child's legs, and side straps connected to the back cover for three-point connection. This merging eliminates the need for separate safety harness and backpack, reducing device complexity while maintaining child safety functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If a separate safety harness is carried in an additional bag, then the child safety function is available, but the carrying burden and device complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechild safety availabilityVSAvoidcarrying convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The safety harness components are integrated into the backpack structure itself. The back support with front and back covers forms the main body, while the leg straps and side straps are built-in components that can be deployed when needed. This eliminates the need to carry a separate safety harness in an additional bag, improving carrying convenience while ensuring child safety availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The backpack serves multiple functions: it acts as a regular carrying backpack for daily use and transforms into a child safety harness system when needed. The back support structure provides both backpack support functionality and chair backrest reception space, while the straps provide both backpack securing and child restraint functions. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate devices and improves ease of operation.

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

3Ease of operation

If a simple backpack structure is used, then the carrying convenience is improved, but the child seat secure functionality is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecarrying convenienceVSAvoidchild seat secure function
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The backpack is designed with universal multi-functionality, combining regular carrying capabilities with child seat secure functionality. The back support structure with front and back covers can receive a chair backrest, creating a stable seating position. The leg straps and side straps form a three-point connection system that secures the child to the chair. This multi-functional design maintains carrying convenience while adding the necessary child seat secure adaptability.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The backpack structure is segmented into functional components: the back support with front and back covers forms the structural base, the leg straps provide lower body restraint, and the side straps provide lateral restraint. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function while working together as an integrated child seat secure system, maintaining simplicity while achieving versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
