Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional golf bag reinforcement devices struggle to adapt flexibly to golf bags with different sizes and leg opening angles, and their display functions are often compromised by the open and closed states of the stand legs.

Innovation Solution

A reinforcement device with a thick fabric part and thin fabric parts, through-sleeves for stand legs, and anti-slip treatments, allowing flexible adaptation to various golf bag specifications and maintaining a stable display function regardless of leg states.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If a conventional reinforcement device is used, then the golf bag structure is strengthened, but the device cannot adapt flexibly to golf bags with different sizes and leg opening angles

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegolf bag structure strengthVSAvoidadaptability to different golf bag specifications
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The reinforcement device is divided into multiple fabric parts (first fabric part, second fabric part, third fabric part) that can be independently positioned and adjusted. These segmented fabric components allow the device to adapt to different golf bag sizes and leg opening angles while maintaining structural reinforcement through their coordinated arrangement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of manufacture

If the reinforcement device uses a fixed structure, then manufacturing is simplified, but the display function is compromised by the open and closed states of the stand legs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice manufacturing simplicityVSAvoiddisplay function stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The reinforcement device incorporates dynamic fabric components that can move and adjust with the stand legs' opening and closing motions. The fabric parts are positioned to maintain display functionality throughout the range of motion, allowing the device to adapt its configuration while remaining manufactured as a integrated unit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The device uses flexible fabric parts instead of rigid structures. These thin fabric components can bend and move with the stand legs while maintaining their positioning to preserve display function, providing both manufacturing simplicity and operational reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

3Adaptability or versatility

If through-sleeves are added for stand legs, then adaptability to different golf bags is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompatibility with various golf bagsVSAvoidreinforcement device structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The through-sleeves are constructed from flexible fabric material rather than rigid components. This allows the sleeves to accommodate different stand leg diameters and configurations while maintaining a simple integrated fabric structure, avoiding the complexity of adjustable mechanical mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films
