Elastic Cushion Ring for Container Bottom Edge Impact Protection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional containers lack protection against accidental falls, which can result in damage to the bottom edge and spills when placed on desks or tables, leading to inconvenience and cleaning challenges.
Innovation Solution
A cushion case made of elastic material with an annular abutment portion and an inclined supporting portion that can be mounted on the container's bottom edge, providing cushioning and suction effects to prevent damage and spills by absorbing impacts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a conventional container is placed on a desk or table without protection, then it is easy to use and access, but it may easily fall down and cause damage to the bottom edge or spills
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies beforehand cushioning by providing a cushion case that is pre-installed on the container before use. The cushion case includes a cushioning portion made of elastic material positioned at the bottom edge to absorb impact during accidental falls, and an adhering portion that secures the container to the desk or table surface in advance, preventing falls before they occur.
2Device complexity
If the container bottom edge is exposed without protection, then the structure remains simple, but the bottom edge is fragile and may be crushed or caved by hitting
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs flexible shells and thin films by using an elastic material for the cushioning portion of the cushion case. This elastic material forms a flexible protective layer that covers the bottom edge of the container, providing cushioning and impact absorption while maintaining a simple overall structure. The elastic nature allows the protective layer to deform and recover, enhancing bottom edge strength without adding complex rigid structures.
3Ease of operation
If the container is placed on a desk or table without securing, then it is convenient to access, but liquid will spill out and wet the desk or table requiring time to clean up
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by incorporating an adhering portion in the cushion case that is designed to secure the container to the desk or table surface in advance. This adhering portion creates a preliminary bonding between the container and the surface, preventing the container from moving or falling during use, thereby avoiding liquid spillage before it can occur while still allowing convenient access.

AI summary
A cushion case for a container includes an abutment portion and a supporting portion. The abutment portion is annular and has an inner surface. The supporting portion inclinedly connected with the inner surface of the abutment portion, formed as a ring-shaped and has an inner edge and an inclined surface. The cushion case can be mounted on a bottom edge of a container, which protects the bottom edge of the container or supports the container fixed on a desk to reduce loss when the container falling down by accident.
