Container and lid and attachment thereof
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in maintaining mobile electronic devices at a specific position during activities like fitness training, as their hands are occupied with equipment or they need to move around.
Innovation Solution
A container with a magnetic attraction member and a connecting structure that allows the magnetic attraction member to be selectively fixed at different positions, enabling the magnetic connection and fixation of mobile electronic devices to the container.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users hold mobile electronic devices during fitness activities, then they can watch instructional videos or record movements, but their hands are occupied and they cannot perform training equipment operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces mechanical holding with magnetic attraction. The magnetic attraction member (containing magnets) on the container lid magnetically attracts the mobile electronic device, eliminating the need for mechanical clamps or tripods. This allows hands-free operation while maintaining secure device attachment through magnetic force.
Solution Approach 2:
The container lid serves multiple functions: it seals the container and simultaneously provides a mounting surface with magnetic attraction capability for holding mobile electronic devices. The connecting structure allows the magnetic attraction member to be selectively positioned at different locations on the lid, making the system adaptable to various device sizes and user preferences.
2Reliability
If users use traditional mobile phone holders with tripods or wall-mounting accessories, then devices can be fixed at specific positions, but additional attachments must be carried besides fundamental fitness goods
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the container (for fitness essentials like water bottles) with the mobile device holder function. The magnetic attraction member is integrated into the container lid, merging two separate attachments (container + phone holder) into one unified item. Users carry only the container while it serves dual purposes: storing fitness goods and holding the mobile device.
3Reliability
If a fixed magnetic attraction member is attached to the container, then devices can be magnetically connected, but the positioning flexibility is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the magnetic attraction member dynamic rather than fixed. The connecting structure includes a fastening member that allows the magnetic attraction member to be selectively attached at different positions on the container lid. Users can adjust the position of the magnetic attraction member according to device size, weight, and preferred viewing angles, providing adaptability while maintaining secure magnetic connection.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution allows users to securely attach their mobile electronic devices to a container, keeping their hands free during activities, and provides flexibility in positioning the devices for optimal use.
Implementation Method 1
The attachment includes a magnetic attraction member (100) and a connecting structure (200). The magnetic attraction member is adapted to be magnetically connected to a mobile electronic device (2).
