Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional containers with fixed handles cause movement and instability when used, leading to inconvenience and safety risks during cooking, and occupy excessive storage space due to handle interference.

Innovation Solution

A container with an attachable/detachable handle that couples without clearance, featuring a fastening member, a detachable block member with a stopper mechanism, and an elastic member, allowing secure attachment and easy detachment by preventing movement between the handle and the container.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a handle is fixedly coupled to a container, then the container and handle are firmly fixed, but the handle interferes with or collides with other containers during storage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefirm fixationVSAvoidstorage volume
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The handle is divided into two separate components: a handle body and a detachable block member. The detachable block member can be removed from the container, allowing the container to be stored without handle interference while maintaining secure attachment when the block member is installed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Volume of moving object

If a handle is detachably coupled to a container, then storage space is reduced, but the container moves or shakes when the user holds the handle

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage volumeVSAvoidstability
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The detachable block member incorporates a self-locking mechanism with a stopper that automatically engages with a fastening portion on the container when assembled. This self-service feature ensures stable attachment without requiring additional fastening operations, preventing container movement during use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If a detachable block member with stopper is used, then movement between container and handle is prevented, but the attachment mechanism becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemovement preventionVSAvoidattachment mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The attachment mechanism is segmented into distinct functional components: a fastening portion on the container, a detachable block member with a stopper, and a stopper member with a head. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function while maintaining overall system simplicity and ease of assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

This application relates to a container having an attachable/detachable handle. In one aspect, the container includes a fastening member having one side coupled to a container and having a fastening portion formed at the other side thereof that is opposite to the one side. The container may also include a detachable block member having a stopper member detachably coupled to the fastening portion of the fastening member. The container may further include a handle body to which the detachable block member is coupled.
