Lithium Battery Package with Transparent Panels and Tear-Off Strips
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a packaging solution that allows for the visible display of batteries and battery-powered devices while providing easy access and removal, with a design that is both functional and aesthetically appealing.
Innovation Solution
A package comprising two pivotally connected panels, where one panel has an at least partially transparent battery holder and the other has a transparent device holder, allowing both to be seen from the front in closed and open positions, with tear-away strips for easy removal of contents.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If the package uses opaque holders for batteries and devices, then the structure is simple and cost-effective, but the visibility and aesthetic appeal are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies transparency changes to the holders rather than color changes. The battery holder and device holder are designed with transparent or translucent materials, allowing light to pass through and making the contents visible from the front of the package. This resolves the contradiction by improving visibility without requiring complex mechanical structures.
2Ease of operation
If the package uses a fixed sealed structure, then the protection and stability are improved, but the ease of access and removal is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The package is segmented into multiple panels (first panel and second panel) that can be independently opened. The first panel can be opened to access batteries, while the second panel can be opened to access the device. This segmentation allows easy access to different components without compromising the overall seal integrity of the package.
Solution Approach 2:
The package includes pre-formed opening mechanisms and tear-away strips that are prepared in advance. The first panel has a first opening and the second panel has a second opening, allowing users to easily access contents without needing to break seals or use complex opening tools. This preliminary preparation of access points resolves the contradiction between seal integrity and ease of access.
3Ease of operation
If the package displays contents from the front in closed position, then the aesthetic appeal and product visibility are improved, but the accessibility and ease of removal are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The package transitions from a static closed state to dynamic open states. The first panel and second panel can be opened to different degrees, allowing the package to adapt between displaying contents (closed position) and providing access (open position). The pivot connection enables this dynamic transformation while maintaining structural integrity.

AI summary
A package comprising a first panel and a second panel. The first and second panels have a closed position wherein the first panel abuts the second panel and an open position wherein the first panel is spaced from the second panel. The first panel has a battery holder configured to retain at least one battery therein. The second panel has a battery powered device holder configured to retain a battery powered device therein. The first panel has a first tear away strip for allowing batteries in the battery holder to be removed from the first panel when the first and second panels are in the open position. The second panel has a second tear away strip for allowing the battery powered device in the battery powered device holder to be removed from the second panel when the first and second panels are in the open position.
