Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wig and hair piece organizers are unable to efficiently store multiple wigs and hair pieces without them becoming mixed together, and they are not portable or easy to travel with.

Innovation Solution

A foldable and collapsible holder with multiple pockets, including transparent-covered pockets for wigs and vertically elongated pockets with fasteners for hair extensions, along with horizontal holders for styling tools, allowing for organized storage and easy access.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If multiple wigs and hair pieces are stored in existing organizers, then storage capacity is increased, but the items become mixed together and difficult to access

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage capacityVSAvoidaccessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The organizer is divided into multiple separate pockets, each capable of holding individual wigs or hair pieces. This segmentation prevents items from mixing while maintaining storage capacity, and each pocket can be independently accessed through individual transparent covers with zippers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Quantity of substance

If existing organizers are designed to hold multiple items, then storage functionality is improved, but portability and ease of travel are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage capacityVSAvoidportability
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The organizer utilizes a flexible fabric construction with thin, lightweight materials that provide sufficient structure for multiple pockets while maintaining overall lightness and portability for easy travel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

3Ease of operation

If transparent covers are added to pockets for visibility, then ease of accessing specific items is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveitem identificationVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The organizer employs transparent covers that allow visual identification of contents without requiring physical opening. The transparency itself acts as the identifying feature, simplifying the interaction model while maintaining clear item visibility through each pocket.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

4Reliability

If multiple specialized pockets are created for different item types, then organization and protection are improved, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveitem protectionVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The organizer is constructed as an assembly of identical or similar pocket units, each with the same basic structure of fabric pocket plus transparent cover with zipper. This modular segmentation allows for standardized manufacturing processes while achieving specialized storage for different wig and hair piece types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A wig and hair piece holder/organizer is provided. The organizer includes four larger pockets to hold wigs. The four larger pockets have transparent covers with a central zipper for opening and closing the transparent cover for each individual pocket. A wig is placeable within the pocket and also can be hooked to or hung from an included grommet for each pocket. On a right side of the organizer, a top section of the organizer is divided into two individual pockets that include elastic holders for holding hair extensions and hair pieces. A set of four smaller pockets are integrated into the holder beneath the two top individual pockets on the right hand side. The back panel is made of satin. Further, the holder can be folded on itself and/or rolled to a compact storage state even while holding multiple wigs and/or hair extensions and styling tools.
