Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual packing methods are used with rolling trays and poker, then the cone packing function is achieved, but the process becomes messy and not discreet for carrying

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveease of cone packingVSAvoidmess and odor emission

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the rolling tray, poker, scooper, and cone holder into a single integrated device body. The poker is stored within the body, the scooper is slidably coupled to the body, and multiple cones are held simultaneously in tapered channels within the body, eliminating the need for separate paraphernalia and reducing mess while enabling discreet carrying

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The device body serves multiple functions: it holds multiple smoking cones in tapered channels, stores the poker in a dedicated compartment, provides a surface for scooping herbs via the slidably coupled scooper, and acts as the packing surface itself. This multi-functionality reduces the number of separate items needed and minimizes odor emission by containing all components in one unit

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple packing paraphernalia are carried separately, then the packing function is available, but portability and discretion are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepacking function availabilityVSAvoidportability and discretion

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple separate packing items (tray, poker, scooper, cone holder) into a single integrated device body, reducing the total number of items to carry and improving portability while maintaining all necessary packing functions

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The poker is stored within the body, the scooper is slidably coupled to the body, and multiple cones are held within channels in the body. This nested arrangement allows all components to be carried in a compact, space-efficient manner, improving portability while maintaining full packing functionality

Inventive Principle:

Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

AI summary

A packing device for smoking cones is disclosed. The packing device has a slidable scooper that may be deployed to scoop tobacco, cannabis, or other smokable herbs directly into multiple smoking cones simultaneously. A poker is stored within the body of the packing device and it may be removed and used to help pack the tobacco, cannabis, or other smokable herbs into the smoking cones as desired by the user. The packing device also has plugs and caps that are configured to tightly seal the packed smoking cones within the body of the packing device, thereby protecting the packed smoking cones from damage during transport and also minimizing any odors emitted from the tobacco, cannabis, or other smokable herbs.
