Bath auxiliary device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bath tools with integrated puffs are difficult to use for cleaning hard-to-reach areas and result in unnecessary waste when the puff is broken, as they are typically undetachable and require disposal.
Innovation Solution
A bath auxiliary device with a support board and handle featuring through holes and slots allows easy assembly and disassembly of bath puffs, enabling convenient use and replacement of puffs without waste.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the bath puff is undetachably fixed to the handle part, then the structural stability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates because the puff cannot be replaced when broken
Solution Approach 1:
The bath tool is divided into separate components: a handle part and a puff part that can be independently assembled and disassembled. The handle part includes through holes and slots that allow the puff to be attached via its rope, creating a segmented structure that maintains stability during use while enabling easy replacement when needed.
2Reliability
If the bath puff is undetachably fixed to the handle part, then the reliability is improved, but the loss of substance worsens because the entire tool must be discarded when the puff is broken
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the bath tool into a reusable handle part and a replaceable puff part, the invention allows users to discard only the worn puff while retaining the handle. This reduces material waste significantly compared to discarding the entire integrated tool.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention enables selective discarding of the consumable puff component while recovering and reusing the durable handle part. The handle part with its through holes and slots can be used with multiple different puffs, maximizing resource utilization.
3Device complexity
If the bath tool is designed without a handle, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ease of operation deteriorates because the user cannot easily reach hard-to-access areas
Solution Approach 1:
The invention introduces a separate handle part with through holes and slots that provides leverage and extended reach for users. This segmented design adds minimal structural complexity while dramatically improving the ability to access hard-to-reach areas of the body.

AI summary
A bath auxiliary device includes a front and a back communicated via a first through hole, a second through hole and a slot. The first and second through holes are separated for the slot to located therebetween. The slot has one end communicated with the first through hole and the slot has a width smaller than a diameter of the first through hole. A rope fixing portion extends outward from a periphery of the second through hole. When the bath auxiliary device is used with a bath puff, a rope of the bath puff passes through the first through hole. Then a part of the rope is positioned in the slot, and the rest of the rope is fixed to the rope fixing portion by means of winding. Thereby, the bath puff can be easily assembled to and disassembled from the bath auxiliary device, improving convenience of use.
