Flexible Roll-Up Storage Sheet for Fishing Lures
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional tackle boxes for storing fishing lures are inefficient due to tangling and increased volume, making it difficult to access and carry a large number of lures, especially on fishing vessels.
Innovation Solution
A flexible roll-up storage sheet with a plurality of pocket strips that can be bundled into a cylindrical shape, providing individual storage compartments while reducing storage space, allowing for easy access and secure transport.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional tackle boxes with segmented compartments are used to store fishing lures, then individual lures can be separated and accessed, but the volume of storage space occupied increases greatly
Solution Approach 1:
The flexible storage sheet is divided into multiple pocket strips that can be individually accessed. Each pocket strip contains one or more pockets for holding specific lures, allowing fishermen to organize and access individual lures without needing a large rigid container with numerous compartments.
Solution Approach 2:
The storage system transitions from a traditional three-dimensional rigid box to a two-dimensional flexible sheet that can be rolled into a compact cylindrical shape. This dimensional transformation allows the storage medium to occupy minimal space when not in use while still providing extensive storage capacity when deployed.
2Quantity of substance
If traditional tackle boxes are used to store a large number of lures, then storage capacity increases, but the rectangular prism shape limits placement on fishing vessels and portability
Solution Approach 1:
The storage system is designed to be dynamic rather than static. The flexible sheet can be rolled up into a compact cylinder for storage in limited spaces on fishing vessels, and unrolled when needed for access. This dynamic transformation between compact and expanded states provides both portability and storage capacity.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses a flexible sheet material as the storage medium instead of a rigid rectangular box. This flexible construction allows the storage system to be rolled into a cylindrical shape that can be easily stored alongside fishing rods and reels, providing adaptability to the confined and varied spaces on fishing vessels.
3Ease of operation
If lures are stored in traditional tackle boxes, then lures can be organized, but they become tangled and difficult to dislodge without hooking the user's skin
Solution Approach 1:
Each lure is placed in its own dedicated pocket within the pocket strips, physically separating lures from one another. This segmentation prevents lures from tangling with each other during storage and retrieval, eliminating the need to hook or probe through tangled masses to access individual lures.

AI summary
A storage sheet having a plurality of pockets which includes a flexible sheet, a plurality of pocket strips, and a fastener. The plurality of pocket strips allow for the storage of personal or professional items. The plurality of pocket strips are shingled to save space as well as to display the contents of the pockets. The storage sheet is flexible to able to be rolled and secured or bundled together through use of the fastener. A roll-up storage sheet provides increased storage space as well as reduces the total volume the storage space occupies.
