Solution Overview

Problem

Existing beverage container holders are either immobile or have cumbersome installation methods, making it inconvenient for users to adjust their positions, especially on moving objects.

Innovation Solution

A container holder with a base and sidewall that encloses an accommodating space for a container, featuring a through groove on the base and a curved base opening that communicates with the groove, allowing for easy installation and position adjustment using a rope.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If common beverage container holders are made immobile to ensure stability, then stability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates as users cannot adjust positions

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestabilityVSAvoidposition adjustment
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The holder transitions from a static immobile structure to a dynamic adjustable structure by introducing a rope passing through the base opening and through groove, enabling users to move and reposition the holder while maintaining stability when needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If common beverage container holders provide stable fixation, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases due to cumbersome installation methods

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixation stabilityVSAvoidinstallation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The complex installation mechanism is extracted and replaced by a simple rope passing through the base opening and through groove, maintaining reliable fixation while dramatically simplifying the installation process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The rope serves as an intermediary element that simplifies the fixation mechanism, allowing easy installation and adjustment while maintaining reliable attachment to the support surface

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
