Solution Overview

Problem

Existing droppings collectors for pets are uncomfortable for dogs, ineffective in use, and limited to long-tailed dogs, while outdoor activity participants face inconvenience and wet gear due to the need to stop and put on rain gear during unexpected rain.

Innovation Solution

A body-worn structure with a support enclosure that combines multiple functions, including a fixing ring for a leash, a carrier backpack attachment, and a pet droppings collection bag, using a front and rear harness system with adjustable belts and buckles for versatility.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a conventional holding device is firmly clipped onto a dog's tail to secure a droppings collector, then the droppings collector can prevent environmental sanitation issues, but it causes discomfort to the dog and becomes ineffective when the dog wags its tail

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedroppings collection effectivenessVSAvoiddog comfort and usability

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The support enclosure is designed as a multi-functional device that can serve as a droppings collector, a leash attachment point, and a carrier backpack mounting structure. This universal design eliminates the need for separate devices and ensures reliable droppings collection while providing additional benefits for pet owners during outdoor activities.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The support enclosure is divided into multiple functional components: a front harness with buckle for secure attachment, a rear harness for additional support, and integrated attachment points for droppings collectors and carriers. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function effectively while maintaining overall system reliability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If a conventional holding device is designed for long-tailed dogs only, then it can securely attach to the tail, but it cannot be used on short-tailed or tailless dogs, severely limiting its applicability

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveapplicability to different dog breedsVSAvoidease of attachment

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The support enclosure transitions from a tail-specific device to a universal body-worn structure that can be attached to various parts of a dog's body. The front harness and rear harness configuration allows secure attachment regardless of tail length, making the device suitable for all dog breeds from long-tailed to short-tailed and tailless varieties.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Object-affected harmful factors

If riders park by the road side to put on raincoats during unexpected rain, then they can be protected from rain, but traffic becomes jammed severely and safety is affected due to the time-consuming process

Engineering Contradiction:

Improverain protectionVSAvoidtime to put on rain gear

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The rain gear is designed with a quick-attachment system that can be rapidly donned in emergency situations. The buckle and strap configuration allows riders to put on the raincoat quickly without stopping completely or requiring assistance, minimizing time loss while maintaining rain protection.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

4Object-affected harmful factors

If mountain climbers or soldiers carry large backpacks with raincoats during activities, then they are prepared for rain, but they must stop and unload equipment to put on rain gear, delaying time and causing inconvenience

Engineering Contradiction:

Improverain protectionVSAvoidactivity continuity

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The support enclosure incorporates movable and adjustable components including a movable rear harness and adjustable straps that can be quickly configured and detached. This dynamic design allows for rapid put-on and take-off operations, enabling activity continuity while maintaining rain protection.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics
