Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The management of a large number of cards, such as IC cards, bank cards, and membership cards, is challenging due to storage difficulties, disarray, and potential loss, leading to unnecessary troubles.
Innovation Solution
A card holder with a main body featuring a containing cavity and opening, a flexible protective cover, and a cover plate that compresses the cover onto the main body, allowing for card storage and management, along with additional features like rotatable parts and magnetic connections for enhanced functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If cards are stored without a dedicated holder, then storage flexibility is maintained, but cards become prone to disarray and loss
Solution Approach 1:
The card holder is divided into multiple functional segments: a main body with a first containing cavity for cards, a flexible protective cover with a second containing cavity for paper currency, and a cover plate. This segmentation allows each component to serve its specific function while collectively providing comprehensive card and cash management.
Solution Approach 2:
The flexible protective cover is arranged between the main body and the cover plate, with the second containing cavity nested within the flexible protective cover. The cover plate compresses the flexible protective cover onto the main body, creating a nested structure that maximizes space utilization while maintaining organizational separation between cards and cash.
2Ease of manufacture
If a simple card holder structure is used, then ease of manufacture is improved, but protective and organizational functionality is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The card holder is designed as a multi-functional device that can simultaneously store and organize multiple types of cards in the first containing cavity, hold paper currency in the second containing cavity, and provide protective coverage through the flexible protective cover. This universal design allows a single device to replace multiple separate storage solutions.
Solution Approach 2:
The flexible protective cover is made from flexible material that can be compressed by the cover plate onto the main body. This flexible shell structure provides protective functionality while maintaining a compact form factor and allowing the device to adapt to different storage needs.
3Ease of operation
If multiple card storage compartments are added, then card organization is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The storage system is segmented into two distinct containing cavities: the first containing cavity for cards and the second containing cavity for paper currency. This segmentation provides clear organizational separation for different types of items while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The second containing cavity is nested within the flexible protective cover, which itself is nested between the main body and the cover plate. This nested arrangement allows multiple storage functions to be integrated into a compact structure without significantly increasing device complexity.
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 card holder effectively stores and manages cards, providing a structured and organized solution while also being aesthetically appealing and comfortable to carry, with additional features like paper currency storage and magnetic connections for convenience.
Implementation Method 1
the second part is provided with a first magnetic attraction part, the upper sidewall is a metal upper sidewall, when the second part rotates to cover the first outer surface of the upper sidewall, the second part is adsorbed onto the upper sidewall by the first magnetic attraction part

AI summary
A card holder includes a main body, a flexible protective cover and a first cover plate. The main body has a first containing cavity and a first containing opening. The first containing opening communicates with the first containing cavity. The first containing cavity is configured for holding cards. The flexible protective cover is arranged between the main body and the first cover plate. The first cover plate is connected to the main body. The first cover plate compresses the flexible protective cover onto the main body. Thus, a user is able to store the card into the first containing cavity of the main body through the first containing opening to achieve the storage and management of the cards. Since the flexible protective cover is arranged, it is able to cover the main body, making the main body more attractive in appearance and more comfortable in hand feel.
