Solution Overview

Problem

Existing gift boxes are complex and costly to manufacture, lacking a simple and cost-effective design that can incorporate both visual and acoustic effects while accommodating a foldable three-dimensional figure.

Innovation Solution

A container with a foldable insert sheet comprising five sections, allowing for the creation of a compartment for objects, integration of visual and acoustic effects, and a reversibly foldable three-dimensional figure, all while maintaining a simple and cost-efficient manufacturing process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional gift box designs are used to accommodate visual and acoustic effects along with a foldable figure, then the functionality is achieved, but the manufacturing complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple functional elements (insert sheet, foldable figure, visual effects means, acoustic effects means, and gift compartment) into a single integrated container structure. The insert sheet serves multiple purposes: it creates the gift compartment, houses the foldable figure, and provides mounting surfaces for visual and acoustic effects components, thereby reducing manufacturing complexity while maintaining versatility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The insert sheet is designed as a multi-functional component that simultaneously performs several functions: it forms the compartment structure, supports the foldable figure, and provides integration points for visual and acoustic effects. This universal component approach simplifies the overall device complexity while achieving diverse functionalities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple separate components are used to achieve visual effects, acoustic effects, and foldable figure functionality, then the functionality is comprehensive, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex and costly

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidmanufacturing simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges previously separate components (insert sheet, foldable figure, visual effects, acoustic effects) into a single integrated container assembly. The insert sheet acts as a unifying structure that incorporates all functional elements, making the manufacturing process simpler and more cost-effective while maintaining comprehensive functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Ease of manufacture

If a simple container design is used, then the manufacturing cost is reduced, but the ability to produce visual and acoustic effects and accommodate a foldable figure is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidfunctionality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The insert sheet is designed as a universal multi-functional component that transforms a simple container into a sophisticated gift box. It simultaneously creates the compartment, supports the foldable figure, and integrates visual and acoustic effects means, thereby enhancing functionality without significantly complicating the manufacturing process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

The invention relates to a container for accommodating one or more objects, with the container having a main body and a lid, with the main body having a bottom as well as side walls forming a border structure pointing towards the lid, with the container having a connecting edge via which the main body and lid are pivotably connected to one another, wherein the container is provided with a unfoldable figure which is reversibly transferable from a compressed flat state to a three-dimensional expanded state, and means for producing visual and/or acoustic effects, wherein the container has a foldable insert sheet that has at least five sections arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction, the 1st section covering the inner side of the lid, the 2nd and 5th sections, laid one on top of the other, being placed into the main body and the 3rd and 4th sections, laid one on top of the other, resting against the inside of the side wall opposite the connecting edge, wherein between the bottom and the 2nd and 5th sections laid one on top of the other there is a compartment formed out for receiving the objects, with means for producing visual and/or acoustic effects being located between the inside of the lid and the 1st section, and the unfoldable figure being located between the 1st and 2nd sections.
