Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the bag uses a fixed structure, then the bag maintains structural stability, but the bag cannot be transformed into a supporting structure and cannot support mobile devices at adjustable angles

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural transformation capabilityVSAvoidbag structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The bag is divided into multiple sheets (first sheet, second sheet, third sheet) with defined folding lines. Each sheet can be independently folded and positioned to create the supporting structure, allowing the bag to transform from a simple container to a functional support device while maintaining manageable structural complexity through modular segmentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The bag incorporates folding lines and rotatable components that enable dynamic structural transformation. The third sheet can be rotated to cover the opening, and the folding lines allow the sheets to be folded into different configurations, creating an adjustable supporting structure that adapts to different device sizes and user needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If the bag is designed as a simple container, then the bag is easy to manufacture and use, but the bag lacks the function of supporting mobile devices and cannot adjust the angle of support

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice support functionalityVSAvoidfolding line configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The supporting function is achieved through segmentation into multiple sheets with specific folding lines. The first, second, and third sheets are configured with folding lines that create a three-dimensional supporting structure when folded, enabling device support while maintaining ease of manufacture through standard folding techniques.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The bag transitions from a two-dimensional flat structure to a three-dimensional supporting structure through folding. The folding lines create angular relationships between sheets, forming a stable three-dimensional configuration that can support devices at adjustable angles, adding functional complexity without significantly increasing manufacturing difficulty.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the bag uses multiple sheets with folding lines to form a three-dimensional supporting structure, then the bag can support mobile devices at adjustable angles, but the bag structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustable supporting angleVSAvoidmulti-sheet folding structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The complex supporting structure is segmented into three sheets with defined folding lines. Each sheet has specific folding lines (first, second, third folding lines on the first sheet; fourth, fifth folding lines on the second sheet) that create manageable sections, allowing the overall complex structure to be assembled from simpler individual components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The multi-sheet folding structure serves multiple functions: it creates an accommodating cavity for storing devices, forms a supporting structure for holding devices at angles, and provides a cover function through the rotatable third sheet. This multi-functionality justifies the increased structural complexity by delivering multiple useful capabilities from a single bag design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
