Solution Overview

Problem

Existing retail display strips lack sufficient capacity for displaying products and structural strength, while being easy to manufacture and assemble.

Innovation Solution

An adhesive display strip with a foldable design featuring a score line that divides the strip into two halves, adhesive fastening means, and a hook for suspension, allowing for double the display area and increased structural strength using recyclable materials.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If the display strip is designed to hold more products, then the display capacity increases, but the structural strength may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay capacityVSAvoidstructural strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The display strip is divided into multiple compartments or sections along its length, allowing it to hold more products while maintaining structural integrity. Each compartment can independently support product weight, distributing the load and preventing overall structural failure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The strip incorporates locally reinforced areas at critical stress points such as attachment points and compartment divisions. These reinforced zones use thicker material or additional structural elements to maintain strength where needed while keeping the overall strip lightweight and capable of holding multiple products.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Strength

If the strip body is made thicker to increase strength, then structural strength improves, but manufacturing complexity and material usage increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural strengthVSAvoidmanufacturing simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

Rather than making the entire strip thicker, the design segments the structure into a thin base layer with localized thicker reinforcement only at critical areas. This segmented approach maintains manufacturing simplicity for the majority of the strip while providing necessary strength at specific locations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The strip uses composite construction combining a thin lightweight base material with strategically placed thicker or more rigid material at reinforcement zones. This composite approach achieves required strength without uniformly increasing material usage or manufacturing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Stability of the object's composition

If adhesive fastening means are distributed along the edges, then the folded position stability improves, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefolded position stabilityVSAvoidadhesive distribution precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of requiring precise adhesive placement at every point along the edges, the design uses slightly excessive adhesive application at key anchor points. This partial distribution approach provides sufficient stability without demanding high manufacturing precision across the entire edge length.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The adhesive fastening is segmented into discrete application zones rather than continuous coverage. This segmentation reduces manufacturing precision requirements by focusing adhesive application to specific areas where it provides maximum stabilizing effect, rather than requiring uniform precision along the entire edge.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
