Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a conventional clip structure is used, then the clip can perform its basic function of gathering documents, but it cannot securely carry a writing instrument

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidstructure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the writing instrument holder with the clip body into a single integrated structure. The holder is positioned within the clip body and secured by a fixing unit that connects to the clip's connecting piece, allowing the clip to simultaneously perform its document-gathering function and provide secure carrying for writing instruments without requiring separate components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If a writing instrument holder is added to the clip, then the clip can carry writing instruments, but the attachment and detachment process becomes complex

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidattachment and detachment
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The holder is designed as a detachable component that can be separated from the clip body through cutting lines. The fixing unit connects the holder to the connecting piece, allowing for easy attachment and detachment without complex mechanisms. The cutting lines enable the holder to be divided into manageable sections for simplified assembly and disassembly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If the holder is made secure to the clip body, then the writing instrument is firmly held, but the holder cannot be easily detached

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixing strengthVSAvoiddetachability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The fixing unit provides a dynamic attachment mechanism that allows the holder to be securely fixed to the clip body during use, yet can be easily detached when needed. The connecting piece enables the holder to be firmly held in place while maintaining the capability for quick removal through the cutting lines, balancing reliability with operational flexibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A writing instrument holder for clip is disclosed. The writing instrument holder for clip is detachable from a clip having a clip body which is bent to have an insertion space into which a document is inserted, is closed by an elastic restoring force, and pressurizes the document, and a pair of handles which are coupled to the clip body and pressurize the clip body to widen, and includes a body unit, a fixing unit, and an elastic unit. The body unit is provided in the insertion space and comes in close contact with the inner surface of the clip body. The elastic unit connects the body unit and the fixing unit.
