Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional containers for mobile devices, such as tablets and laptops, are not adaptable for accommodating other displayers or mobile devices and lack a simplified structure for efficient storage and use.
Innovation Solution
A container with a housing featuring a base wall, upper wall, foldable cover panel, support device with hinges, and a lock mechanism, allowing for the secure storage and display of mobile devices, with a foldable flap for covering the chamber and a depression in the upper wall for receiving the display, enabling easy operation and storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional foldable package is used for mobile devices, then the device can be contained and protected, but the package cannot be used for accommodating other displayers or mobile devices
Solution Approach 1:
The container is designed with a universal chamber that can accommodate various mobile devices including tablets, laptops, and notebooks. The base plate with support device and the foldable flap with lock mechanism create a versatile storage solution that works with different device types and sizes, making the container multi-functional rather than device-specific
2Reliability
If a simple foldable structure is used, then the container is easy to operate, but it lacks secure retention mechanism for the devices
Solution Approach 1:
The base plate is pre-engaged in the base wall with support devices that can be positioned beforehand. The lock device and lock member are pre-positioned on the cover panel and flap respectively, allowing for quick and secure locking action without complex assembly steps during use
Solution Approach 2:
The support device is designed to be foldable relative to the base plate, allowing it to dynamically adjust and adapt to different device sizes and shapes. The foldable flap and movable cover panel provide dynamic locking and unlocking capabilities while maintaining structural integrity
