Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fishing methods lack a portable and efficient means to store and transport caught fish, particularly in freshwater environments, while maintaining wet conditions and preventing leaks.
Innovation Solution
A portable fish storage and transportation bag with a rectangular body made of durable material, a mesh bottom for water intake, a closure mechanism, and a removable liner, designed for wet storage and transport.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional coolers are used for fish storage, then fish can be stored in controlled conditions, but the device is too heavy and cumbersome for transportation over long distances
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a flexible bag structure made of durable material with a mesh bottom, replacing rigid coolers. This flexible design significantly reduces weight while maintaining fish storage capability through the liner and closure mechanism, enabling easy portability for traversing rivers and streams.
2Reliability
If fish are stored in conventional coolers, then fish can be kept fresh, but the device does not allow water intake and is not suitable for wet storage conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates a mesh bottom made of porous material that permits water to flow into the interior volume of the bag. This enables the bag to function in wet storage conditions by allowing water intake, while the liner prevents fish from escaping through the mesh, combining adaptability with storage reliability.
3Ease of operation
If anglers use gill lines to secure fish, then fish can be held in the water, but there is no ability to transport fish to a desired location
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a removable liner nested within the bag body. The liner can be easily inserted and removed, allowing anglers to quickly transfer fish from the water into the bag for transport. This nested structure provides both ease of operation for fish handling and versatility for transportation to desired locations.
4Ease of operation
If fish are stored in open containers, then fish can be kept accessible, but leaks occur and fish cannot be concealed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a flexible liner made of durable material that forms a sealed interior within the bag. This liner prevents leakage while maintaining accessibility through the closure mechanism, and the flexible nature allows the bag to be concealed or hidden when needed, eliminating the harmful effects of open container storage.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Provides effective wet storage and transport of fish, inhibiting leaks and allowing for convenient handling and concealment of caught fish.
Implementation Method 1
the second end of the body is manufactured from a mesh material wherein the mesh material permits water to flow into the interior volume of the transportable bag
