Breathable Mesh Game Meat Shaper for Transport Ventilation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing game bags for transporting hunted meat fail to prevent spoilage and maintain quality due to inadequate ventilation, leading to bulging and increased thermal resistance, which complicates carrying and increases bacterial growth.
Innovation Solution
A game shaping device with a breathable mesh wrapping system and restraint system that distributes weight evenly, allowing airflow to evaporate moisture and prevent bacterial growth, while maintaining the meat's quality and safety during transportation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If breathable mesh with increased airflow is employed, then spoilage prevention and quality preservation are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs breathable mesh material with increased airflow capability that allows moisture to escape from the meat surface. The mesh structure provides porous pathways for air circulation, preventing condensation buildup and creating an environment unfavorable for bacterial growth, thus preventing spoilage while maintaining meat quality during transportation.
Solution Approach 2:
The game shaping device utilizes composite construction combining breathable mesh material with structural components. The mesh is integrated into a shaping device framework that provides mechanical support while maintaining airflow pathways, creating a composite structure that balances ventilation requirements with structural integrity and shape-maintaining functions.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If meat is allowed to settle to the bottom in prior art bags, then waterproofing is improved, but thermal resistance increases and meat quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of using impermeable waterproof materials that trap moisture against the meat, the patent inverts the approach by using breathable mesh that allows moisture to escape. This reversal of the waterproofing concept prevents condensation and maintains airflow, thereby reducing thermal resistance and preventing the meat from overheating during transportation.
3Ease of operation
If straps are provided across the entire bag, then carrying capability is improved, but meat bulging increases and thermal efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The game shaping device segments the restraint function by using multiple horizontal and vertical straps that create a grid-like structure. This segmentation prevents meat bulging at multiple points simultaneously, maintains the meat's shape, and preserves airflow pathways between the segmented sections, thereby maintaining thermal efficiency while providing carrying capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The straps are strategically positioned at specific locations rather than uniformly across the entire bag. This local placement provides restraint where needed to prevent bulging while leaving other areas open for airflow, optimizing both carrying capability and thermal efficiency through localized structural support.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution effectively prevents spoilage and contamination by ensuring airflow through the breathable mesh, maintaining the meat's quality and safety, and reducing the difficulty of carrying heavy loads by distributing weight more evenly across the shoulder area.
Implementation Method 1
This airflow helps to evaporate excess moisture from the surface of the meat. As moisture evaporates, it carries away heat, which helps to cool the meat
Implementation Method 2
The present invention prevents spoilage by employing breathable mesh, to facilitate air circulation. This airflow helps to evaporate excess moisture from the surface of the meat. As moisture evaporates, it carries away heat, which helps to cool the meat
