Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If personal items are stored together within the bag, then the bag can carry multiple items, but the items shift during transport making it difficult to locate specific items

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of personal items carriedVSAvoidease of locating specific item
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the bag's carrying capacity into separate compartments or sections. Each personal item or group of related items can be placed in its own designated space, preventing shifting and making it easy to locate specific items without rummaging through the entire bag contents.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If accessories are attached to the bag using a secure mechanism, then the accessories remain stable during transport, but the attachment and removal process becomes complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability of accessory attachmentVSAvoidcomplexity of attachment mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the attachment function into a separate, dedicated mechanism such as a locking strap or clip system that is independent from the bag's main structure. This allows for simple, one-handed attachment and removal operations while maintaining secure holding during transport, as the attachment mechanism is specifically designed for this purpose rather than being integrated into the overall bag design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
