Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional fishing lures are often expensive, difficult to assemble, non-adjustable, and lack reusability, and their effectiveness depends on the water environment and type of fish being targeted, with limited adaptability.

Innovation Solution

A foldable fishing lure sheet that simulates the appearance of an organism, featuring a foldable portion that secures onto itself to create a fishing lure skin with a stop and passage, allowing a filament and hook to extend through, preventing movement in one direction while allowing flexibility in another, and can be assembled with an anchor and fastener to mimic an organism's appearance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional fishing lures are used, then fishing effectiveness is maintained, but cost is high and reusability is poor

Engineering Contradiction:

ImprovereusabilityVSAvoidcost

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The fishing lure is segmented into a reusable sheet component and a disposable hook assembly. The sheet can be folded into different configurations and reused multiple times, while only the hook assembly needs replacement after use, reducing overall cost and improving reusability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The sheet is designed to be dynamically foldable into multiple lure configurations (e.g., worm shape, creature bait shapes) allowing a single sheet to serve multiple fishing purposes, enhancing versatility and reusability across different fishing scenarios.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If conventional fishing lures are used, then fishing effectiveness is maintained, but assembly difficulty increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveease of assemblyVSAvoidassembly complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The sheet is pre-formed with fold lines and attachment points that guide the user through simple folding and attachment actions. The hook assembly comes pre-prepared with attachment mechanisms, reducing the cognitive load and steps required for assembly.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The sheet design incorporates self-aligning features where folds naturally guide themselves into position and attachment points automatically align with the hook assembly, reducing the need for precise manual positioning and complex assembly procedures.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If conventional fishing lures are used, then fishing effectiveness is maintained, but adjustability is limited

Engineering Contradiction:

ImproveadjustabilityVSAvoidconfiguration complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The lure system is segmented into the adjustable sheet component and the fixed hook assembly, allowing the user to adjust the sheet's configuration to match different fishing conditions while maintaining a simple, reliable hook component.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation
