Free-standing Blister Pack with Detachable Support Base
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing blister packs for home fragrance products are not easily transportable while maintaining a decorative appearance and fragrance diffusion after opening.
Innovation Solution
A free-standing blister pack design featuring a fragrance blister cavity and a diffuser rod blister cavity with snappable sealed openings, where the flange area around the diffuser rod cavity is detachably removable, and both areas have precut slots that interlock to form a support base, allowing easy movement and fragrance diffusion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the blister pack is designed to stand upright with a fixed base, then it maintains structural stability and decorative appearance, but it becomes difficult to transport and reposition
Solution Approach 1:
The blister pack is divided into separate components: a main body portion and a detachable support base. The support base can be removed and reattached as needed, allowing the pack to transition between standing and portable states. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by providing structural stability when the base is attached and ease of transport when the base is detached.
Solution Approach 2:
The blister pack transitions from a static, fixed structure to a dynamic, reconfigurable structure. The detachable support base allows the pack to adapt its configuration based on usage needs - standing stable for display and portable for transport. This dynamic design resolves the contradiction between structural stability and transportability.
2Ease of operation
If the blister pack uses a detachable support base, then it becomes easily transportable, but the structure becomes more complex

AI summary
A free-standing blister pack made by heating molding plastic material, film or sheet, creating a container portion of a fixed space, storing a product such as cosmetic, fragrance, or homecare products in the space, and having a cover sheet attached to a flange of the container portion so as to create a sealing function. The blister packaging has a support structure to hold the blister upright after the removal of the perforation and score feature allowing the product to remain in a free-standing position after assembly.
