Solution Overview

Problem

Existing paper doll and clothing accessory sets are prone to breakage due to their paper-based construction, limiting durability and creative expression.

Innovation Solution

A single sheet of double-layered, stretchable woven fabric with dividing portions allows for the creation of multiple apparel items that can be cut and styled, enabling children to freely dress dolls and inspire creativity through customizable designs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If paper-based doll and clothing accessory items are used, then the doll can be dressed with various clothing items, but the items are prone to breakage after a certain period of time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedurability of doll and clothing itemsVSAvoidvariety of clothing styles
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the material parameter from paper to fabric, transforming the physical properties of the doll and clothing items. This material substitution resolves the contradiction by providing both durability (fabric withstands repeated handling and washing) and versatility (fabric can be cut and styled into various clothing designs), eliminating the fragility issue inherent in paper-based products

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses fabric as a composite material that combines the durability needed for toys with the flexibility required for creative clothing design. The fabric material integrates structural strength with surface adaptability, allowing children to create diverse clothing styles while maintaining long-term durability through repeated use and washing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple separate clothing accessory items are provided, then children can freely replace and style the doll, but the items are prone to breakage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefreedom to replace and style clothingVSAvoidresistance to breakage
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by providing a fabric sheet with pre-marked dividing portions that allow children to cut and separate the fabric into different clothing items. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining the versatility of having multiple separate clothing pieces while using durable fabric material that resists breakage, unlike fragile paper-based separate items

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of manufacture

If paper-based clothing items are used, then the doll can be dressed, but the items break after a certain period of time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of doll clothing assemblyVSAvoidlifespan of clothing items
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the material parameter from paper to fabric, which fundamentally improves the lifespan of clothing items. Fabric withstands repeated handling, washing, and styling operations that paper cannot endure, thereby resolving the contradiction between ease of manufacture and extended duration of use

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
