Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional motorcycle jackets integrated with bags cannot be used as backpacks while being worn, limiting their functionality and convenience for motorcycle riders.

Innovation Solution

The design includes a clothing part that surrounds the body for protection, with an accommodation part providing a space for objects, allowing the jacket to transform into a backpack by separating and reconfiguring components, including adjustable space parts and external force providers to maintain structure and prevent drooping, enabling simultaneous use as both a jacket and a backpack.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the accommodation part is integrated into the clothing part, then the jacket can be worn as normal clothing, but the accommodation part cannot be used as a backpack simultaneously

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedual functionality as jacket and backpackVSAvoidconvenience of simultaneous use
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The accommodation part is divided into a first accommodation part integrated with the clothing part and a second accommodation part that can be separated. The separation allows the second part to function as an independent backpack while the first part remains attached to the jacket, enabling simultaneous use of both functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The coupling between the accommodation part and clothing part is made dynamic rather than fixed. The accommodation part can be coupled to or separated from the clothing part according to user needs, allowing the system to transition between different functional states (integrated jacket mode vs. separable backpack mode).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the accommodation part is separated from the clothing part, then it can function as a backpack, but the clothing structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebackpack functionalityVSAvoidcoupling mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The coupling part serves multiple functions: it connects the accommodation part to the clothing part when integrated, and it serves as a separation mechanism when backpack functionality is needed. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate coupling and separation mechanisms, simplifying the overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of operation

If the accommodation part is made detachable, then simultaneous use as jacket and backpack is enabled, but the structural stability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimultaneous use capabilityVSAvoidstructural stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The coupling part is pre-configured with coupling and separation capabilities, allowing the accommodation part to be securely attached when needed for stability, while maintaining the option for easy separation when backpack functionality is required. This preliminary design ensures both stability and detachability are built into the structure from the beginning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Clothing according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include: a clothing part configured to surround a human body to protect the human body; and an accommodation part connected to the clothing part and configured to provide an accommodation space which is a predetermined space in which a predetermined object is received, wherein the accommodation part may form one surface together with the clothing part as an accommodation coupling part which is a part of the accommodation part is coupled to a clothing coupling part which is a part of the clothing part in a storing portion, and may provide the accommodation space which is a space in which a predetermined object is received, together with the clothing part as the accommodation coupling part and the clothing coupling part are separated from each other and thus a portion of the clothing part and a portion of the accommodation part are spaced apart from each other in an accommodation position.
