Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current carrying systems for fishing rods and stakes are cumbersome, hazardous, and lack modularity, safety, and practicality during transport and use, failing to provide effective protection and ease of handling, especially for multiple items and varying equipment needs.
Innovation Solution
A carrying system comprising a profiled rigid guide, base sole, and adjustable intermediate plates with elastic clip mechanisms and protective throats, allowing for secure, modular, and ergonomic transport and storage of fishing rods, stakes, and accessories, with a frame for ground attachment and integrated accessory boxes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional covers are used for transporting fishing rods and accessories, then the equipment can be protected during transport, but the covers must be laid on the ground to access contents which is impractical on dirty, wet or loose ground
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from ground-level access (2D horizontal plane) to elevated vertical access. The carrying system raises equipment contents above ground level using a vertical frame structure with multiple tiers, allowing users to access equipment without bending down to ground level, thus avoiding contact with dirty, wet, or loose ground surfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary carrying system structure (frame with tiers and platforms) between the user and the ground. This intermediary structure elevates the equipment contents and provides a stable, elevated access point that mediates the interaction between the user and problematic ground conditions.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple fishing rods and stakes are transported manually, then the equipment can be carried to the fishing location, but handling becomes cumbersome and hazardous due to pointed tips and bulk
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the carrying system into segmented tiers and platforms, with each tier designed to hold specific types of equipment (rods, stakes, accessories). This segmentation organizes multiple items into distinct compartments, making handling safer by separating pointed tips from other equipment and reducing the bulkiness of the overall load through structured arrangement.
Solution Approach 2:
The carrying system frame serves multiple functions simultaneously: it transports multiple rods and stakes, provides elevated storage platforms, offers ground attachment capability, and protects equipment tips. This multi-functionality allows a single system to handle various quantities and types of equipment without requiring separate carrying solutions for each item type.
3Volume of moving object
If fishing rods are made telescopic to reduce bulk, then transport becomes easier, but the upper tip remains pointed creating handling hazards
Solution Approach 1:
The patent converts the harmful pointed tips into a beneficial organizational feature. The pointed tips of telescopic rods are directed upward and used as natural的定位 elements that fit into designated slots or platforms on the carrying system. This converts the hazard into a positioning mechanism that secures the rods during transport while maintaining the space-saving telescopic design.
4Ease of operation
If a carrying system provides stable holding function for rods during fishing, then rods can be held stably without constant hand holding, but the system becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the carrying function with the stable holding function into a single integrated system. The same vertical frame structure that transports the equipment also provides stable positioning during fishing through ground attachment mechanisms and elevated platforms. This merging eliminates the need for separate carrying and holding devices, achieving rod stability without proportionally increasing complexity.

AI summary
A carrying system comprises: a rigid profiled guide, a base sole and a plurality of intermediate plates; with the sole and the plates all extend frontally and transversely from a single front surface of the guide. The guide extends in an elevation direction (Z) and comprises a profiled concave track. A flexible structure for human carrying is attached within the system for grouped transport of rods, stakes and accessories. The invention applies in particular to conventional fishing like surf casting, in particular in a body of water such as, for example, seashore, lakeshore, canal bank and riverbank.
