Solution Overview

Problem

Carrying a full golf bag is physically demanding and risks damage to the bag and clubs, especially on the green where golf carts are not permitted, and there is a need for a lightweight, durable, and easily detachable solution that protects clubs and reduces strain.

Innovation Solution

A small detachable golf bag assembly with a cylindrical design, featuring an extendable stake and legs for stabilization, dividers for club organization, and quick connection devices to the main bag, allowing it to stand upright and detach easily, with a strap for comfortable carrying.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If a full golf bag is carried to transport all clubs and items, then all golf clubs and items can be carried, but physical strain increases and risk of damage to bag and clubs increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of clubs and items carriedVSAvoidphysical strain and damage risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The golf bag system is divided into a main golf bag and a detachable mini golf bag. The mini golf bag can be separated from the main bag and carried independently on the shoulder, allowing golfers to transport only the essential clubs and items needed for each specific hole or green, thereby reducing overall weight and physical strain while maintaining the ability to carry all clubs when necessary.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If the golf bag is laid down on the green during play, then the player can access clubs easily, but the bag and clubs are at risk of damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess to clubsVSAvoiddamage risk to bag and clubs
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The mini golf bag is equipped with a stake that can be extended into the ground to stabilize the bag in an upright position. This dynamic stabilization mechanism allows the bag to stand independently on the green without being laid down, providing easy access to clubs while protecting the bag and clubs from damage that would occur if laid on the ground.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Weight of moving object

If the mini golf bag is made lightweight to reduce strain, then carrying comfort improves, but structural strength and durability may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveweight of mini golf bagVSAvoidstructural strength and durability
Core Design Contradiction:
Weight of moving objectVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The mini golf bag utilizes a flexible, lightweight fabric construction that provides sufficient durability for its intended purpose while maintaining minimal weight. The flexible material can be easily folded and stored when not in use, and the lightweight design reduces shoulder strain during carrying, achieving a balance between weight and structural adequacy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

4Stability of the object's composition

If the golf bag includes stabilization features like stakes and legs, then the bag can stand upright, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to stand uprightVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The stabilization system is segmented into a separate stake component that can be independently inserted into the ground. This modular approach allows the stabilization feature to be added or removed as needed without complicating the basic bag structure, maintaining simplicity while providing the necessary upright stability when required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
