Cup Handle with Integrated Notch Stand for Electronic Device Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing solutions for supporting electronic devices like smartphones and tablets lack versatility and functionality, failing to provide a convenient and stable way to hold and position these devices at a suitable angle, especially when not using dedicated stands.
Innovation Solution
A handle with a carrier and notches that can be used as both a handle and a stand, featuring a rotary connection device with a limiting mechanism to securely hold items at a predetermined angle, allowing for versatile support of electronic devices and other objects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a separate stand is used to support electronic devices, then the device can be positioned at a suitable angle, but the user must carry and locate the stand separately
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the stand function with the cup body by integrating a rotating handle with positioning notches directly into the cup structure. This eliminates the need for separate stands, as the handle can be rotated to different angles and locked into notches to support electronic devices at desired viewing angles.
Solution Approach 2:
The cup is designed with multi-functionality by adding the rotating handle with carrying notches that can serve both as a handle for carrying and as a stand for supporting electronic devices. This allows a single object to perform multiple functions: drinking, carrying, and device support.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a cup is used solely for drinking, then its basic function is maintained, but it cannot support electronic devices
Solution Approach 1:
The cup is designed with multi-functionality by adding the rotating handle with carrying notches that can serve both as a handle for carrying and as a stand for supporting electronic devices. This allows a single object to perform multiple functions: drinking, carrying, and device support.
Solution Approach 2:
The handle is segmented into multiple functional sections including the rotating connection part, the handle body with carrying notches, and the positioning mechanism. This segmentation allows the handle to achieve complex functions while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a handle is designed only for carrying, then it remains simple in structure, but it cannot function as a stand
Solution Approach 1:
The handle is designed to perform multiple functions: it can be used for carrying the cup and simultaneously function as a stand for electronic devices. The rotating connection and positioning notches enable the handle to support devices at various angles while maintaining its carrying function.
Solution Approach 2:
The handle incorporates a rotating connection that allows it to change its angle and position dynamically. This dynamic capability enables the handle to adapt to different supporting angles for electronic devices while maintaining its basic carrying function, achieving multi-functionality without excessive structural complexity.
