Digital Pen Holder With Integrated Tip Storage And Extractor
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Digital pens often lose or misplace spare pen tips and extraction tools due to their loose nature, leading to user dissatisfaction and the need for new replacements.
Innovation Solution
A digital pen holder with integrated pen tip storage and an integrated pen tip extractor, which securely stores the pen and its spare tips and extraction tool, attached to a computing device, preventing loss and misplacement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If pen tips and extraction tools are provided as loose parts, then users can access them easily, but they are easy to misplace or lose
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the pen holder, pen tip storage compartment, and extraction tool into a single integrated unit. The extraction tool is built into the pen holder structure, and spare pen tips are stored in a dedicated compartment within the same device, eliminating the need for separate loose components while maintaining ease of access.
Solution Approach 2:
The pen holder serves multiple functions: it holds the digital pen, stores spare pen tips in an integrated compartment, and contains a built-in extraction tool for removing worn tips. This multi-functional design consolidates what would traditionally be separate items into one universal device.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate components are provided (pen, tips, tool), then functionality is complete, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the pen holder, tip storage, and extraction tool into one integrated device, reducing the number of separate components from three (pen, loose tips, loose tool) to a single multi-functional unit while preserving all necessary functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated pen holder performs multiple functions: holding the digital pen, storing spare tips, and providing extraction capability. This multi-functionality maintains functional completeness while reducing component count and simplifying the overall system.
