Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing charm holder devices do not allow users to easily view sentimental charms while holding personal electronic devices, lacking an integrated lens to display the charm and a secure grip mechanism.
Innovation Solution
A charm holder device with an electronic device grip featuring a cup portion and a cap with an integrated lens, allowing a charm to be visible and securely held in place using an adhesive attachment and a resilient protrusion system.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a charm holder device is designed without an integrated lens, then the device structure remains simple, but users cannot easily view the charm of sentimental value
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the lens with the cap to create an integrated viewing mechanism. The lens is embedded within the cap structure, allowing users to view the charm through the cap without requiring separate viewing components. This merging of functions resolves the contradiction by enabling easy charm viewing while maintaining relatively simple device manufacturing.
2Ease of manufacture
If a charm holder device lacks a secure grip mechanism, then the device is easy to manufacture, but users cannot securely hold the personal electronic device
Solution Approach 1:
The grip mechanism features localized friction-enhancing properties at the contact points where the grip meets the electronic device. The grip material is designed with specific surface characteristics that provide secure holding capability at these critical locations while maintaining overall manufacturing simplicity. This local quality approach resolves the contradiction by providing reliable grip security only where needed without complicating the entire device structure.
3Volume of moving object
If a cup portion is designed to be nestable into the grip, then the device becomes more compact, but the cup may become loose or unstable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a nested structure where the cup portion fits within the grip body. The cup is designed with dimensional characteristics that allow it to nest securely into the grip cavity, maintaining stability through precise geometric matching. This nesting approach resolves the contradiction by achieving device compactness while preserving cup stability through proper design of the nested interface.

AI summary
A charm holder grip device includes an electronic device grip which has an attachment element that engages a personal electronic device. The electronic device grip can be gripped by a user for holding the personal electronic device. The electronic device grip has a cup portion which tapers with respect to the attachment element to facilitate a user to grip the cup portion thereby enabling the user to hold the personal electronic device. A cup is releasably attachable to the cup portion of the electronic device grip to contain a charm of sentimental value to the user. A cap is positionable on top of the cup to retain the charm in the cup. The cap releasably engages the cup portion thereby releasably attaching the cap and the cup to the cup portion. A lens is integrated into the cap thereby enabling the charm to be visible through the lens.
