Solution Overview

Problem

Existing transport devices fail to provide a convenient, reliable, and user-friendly solution for simultaneously transporting pets and provisions, especially in emergency situations, as they are often stressful and prone to forgetting essential items.

Innovation Solution

A supply backpack with a detachable pet carrier system, featuring a pack with adjustable straps and a carrier with ventilation apertures and retractable flaps, allowing secure and comfortable transport of pets and supplies, with the carrier being removably attachable to the pack via a connector system.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a pet carrier is integrated into a backpack system for simultaneous transport of pets and supplies, then convenience and hands-free transport are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehands-free transport convenienceVSAvoidcarrier-pack system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines a pet carrier and a supply backpack into a single integrated system where the carrier attaches to the pack. This merging allows simultaneous transport of both pet and supplies in one device, achieving hands-free convenience while distributing the complexity across two functional components that work together.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The backpack system serves multiple functions: it carries supplies for the owner, transports a pet securely, and provides ventilation and protection for the pet. This multi-functionality justifies the increased complexity by delivering comprehensive transport solutions in a single system.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If the carrier is made detachable from the pack, then adaptability and versatility are improved, but reliability of connection may worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecarrier attachment flexibilityVSAvoidcarrier-pack connection stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The connection system transitions from fixed to dynamic, allowing the carrier to be attached or detached as needed. This dynamic design provides versatility for different usage scenarios while maintaining reliability through secure attachment mechanisms when connected.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system is segmented into detachable components (carrier and pack) that can function independently or together. This segmentation enhances adaptability by allowing users to separate the components based on specific needs while maintaining reliable connections when assembled together through designated attachment points.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Object-affected harmful factors

If ventilation apertures are added to the carrier for pet comfort, then pet safety and comfort are improved, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepet ventilation and comfortVSAvoidcarrier manufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The carrier incorporates ventilation apertures that create a porous structure allowing air flow. This design improves pet comfort and safety by providing necessary ventilation while the aperture patterns can be integrated into standard manufacturing processes for plastic or fabric materials.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #31Porous materials
