Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional bra strap solutions fail to securely hold the strap in a fixed position on the person, leading to discomfort and constant adjustment needs.

Innovation Solution

A bra strap holder comprising a chevron clip with a removable adhesive, where the chevron captures the strap and the adhesive attaches it to the skin, providing a secure and adjustable fastening mechanism.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional bra strap solutions are used, then the strap can be worn, but it fails to securely hold the strap in a fixed position leading to discomfort and constant adjustment needs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecure holding of strap in fixed positionVSAvoidneed for frequent adjustments
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The device is divided into separate functional components: a chevron-shaped clip for capturing the strap and a removable adhesive for attachment to the skin. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific function while working together to provide secure, adjustable fastening.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The chevron clip is designed as a spring-loaded mechanism that dynamically adjusts to capture and hold the strap securely. The spring element provides continuous contact force to maintain the strap in a fixed position while allowing for easy release when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If a secure fastening mechanism is implemented, then the strap is held firmly in place, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecure fastening of strapVSAvoidstructure of fastening mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The chevron clip and removable adhesive are merged into a single integrated unit that combines the strap-capturing function and skin-attachment function in one device. This merging simplifies the overall structure while maintaining secure fastening capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The spring-loaded chevron clip is designed to automatically capture and hold the strap without requiring additional fastening steps or complex mechanisms. The spring element self-adjusts to provide secure holding force.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If removable adhesive is used to attach to skin, then easy removal and repositioning is enabled, but the bonding strength may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeasy removal and repositioningVSAvoidbonding strength of adhesive
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive is formulated with specific parameters that balance bonding strength with removability. The adhesive layer thickness, chemical composition, and curing characteristics are optimized to provide sufficient bonding strength during wear while allowing for easy, painless removal and repositioning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
