Garment Movable Fastening Device for Dynamic Play
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing children's garments lack dynamic play functionality, limiting imaginative play and requiring additional toys when on the move, as play figures are typically statically fixed and do not engage the garment in the play process.
Innovation Solution
A garment with a movable fastening device integrated into the fabric, allowing play figures to be detachably attached and moved in three dimensions, transforming the garment into a dynamic play element that forms part of the play landscape, using magnetic, clamping, or hook-and-loop fasteners, and incorporating movable magnets or magnetizable bodies within pockets for enhanced play possibilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If play figures are statically fixed to the garment, then the garment provides a play surface, but the play functionality is limited and requires additional toys when on the move
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the static fastening system into a movable one. The fastening device is mounted on the garment such that it has a degree of freedom of movement, allowing it to move relative to the garment in a three-dimensional region. This enables play figures to be dynamically repositioned and attached at different locations, significantly enhancing play versatility without requiring additional toys.
Solution Approach 2:
The garment is designed to serve multiple functions: it acts as both clothing and an integrated play environment. The movable fastening device allows the garment to function as a dynamic play surface where play figures can be attached, moved, and repositioned. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate toys when traveling, as the garment itself becomes a complete play system.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the fastening device is movable in three dimensions, then dynamic play activity is enabled, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening device is mounted on the garment such that it has a degree of freedom of movement, allowing it to move relative to the garment in a three-dimensional region. This dynamic mounting enables play figures to be attached and repositioned at various locations, creating dynamic play scenarios while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure through the use of standard fastening mechanisms.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the garment is integrated into the play process, then additional toys are not needed when on the move, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The garment is designed to serve multiple functions: it acts as both clothing and an integrated play environment. The fastening device, which can be a commonly available component, is attached to the garment to enable play figures to be secured. This approach allows the garment to function as a complete play system without requiring complex manufacturing processes, as the additional components can be integrated using standard production techniques.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables dynamic three-dimensional play, reducing the need for additional toys by integrating the garment into the play environment, providing increased play functionality and interest for children, while allowing for flexible and imaginative play scenarios.
Implementation Method 1
The movable fastening device or the moving element can then be movable relative to the garment or the play surface... The respective play figure is, according to the present invention, fastened magnetically to the movable fastening device or the moving element.
Implementation Method 2
The fastening can additionally also be configured in some other way depending on the exemplary embodiment, for example, by clamping or by a hook-and-loop fastener.
