Cardboard Bicycle Grip Packaging with Integrated Arm
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display packaging for bicycle grips is complex and expensive, requiring multiple components and materials that increase manufacturing costs.
Innovation Solution
A cost-effective display packaging design featuring a single, three-dimensional cardboard body with a packaging container and connecting arm, where the rod-shaped receiving element is also made of cardboard, allowing for simplified production and easy recycling, and incorporating biodegradable adhesive materials for secure attachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple separate components (packaging container, connecting arm, receiving element) are used, then the structural functionality is improved, but the manufacturing complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the packaging container and connecting arm into a single integrated body formed from one piece of cardboard. This eliminates the need for separate components and assembly operations, reducing manufacturing complexity while maintaining the structural functionality of holding the first grip and supporting the second grip through the rod-shaped receiving element.
2Strength
If traditional multi-material construction is used, then structural strength is improved, but recyclability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses homogeneous cardboard material throughout the entire packaging structure, including the packaging container, connecting arm, and rod-shaped receiving element. This single-material construction maintains sufficient structural strength for display purposes while enabling complete recyclability, as all components can be processed together without material separation.
3Productivity
If a compact single-body design is used, then manufacturing effort is reduced, but the ability to provide customer interaction space may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends the connecting arm forward from the packaging container in a dimensional direction that creates space for the rod-shaped receiving element and second grip. This three-dimensional configuration allows the first grip to be displayed on the container while the second grip on the extended arm provides customer interaction space, maintaining ease of operation despite the simplified single-body construction.

AI summary
The display package has a package container (10) forming a package area for accommodating a handle bar. A rod-shaped accommodating element (16) accommodates another handle bar. The rod-shaped accommodating element is connected with the package container by a connecting arm (14), where the package container is formed as a single-piece with the connecting arm. A locking element (24) locks a front side (22) of the package container and/or a front side (26) of the connecting arm. The package container, the connecting arm and the accommodating element are made of cardboard.
