Solution Overview

Problem

Existing golf equipment cases struggle to securely attach golf markers of various types, particularly those using magnets, as they require matching polarity for effective absorption, leading to inconsistent attachment and convenience issues for players.

Innovation Solution

A golf equipment case with a marker adsorption part featuring a pair of magnets with opposite poles facing outward, supported by a structure that allows either magnet to attract the marker, ensuring secure attachment regardless of the marker's type, and integrated into the lid mechanism for enhanced functionality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single magnet is used in the marker adsorption part, then the structure is simple, but it cannot attract golf markers with opposite polarity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompatibility with different marker typesVSAvoidstructure of marker adsorption part
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The marker adsorption part is segmented into multiple magnets (at least two) with different polarities instead of using a single magnet. This segmentation allows the system to attract golf markers regardless of their polarity, resolving the contradiction between versatility and structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The marker adsorption part is designed with multiple magnets having different polarities to perform multiple functions: attracting both N-pole and S-pole markers. This universal design enables the same structure to handle different marker types, achieving versatility without requiring separate structures for each marker type.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If a pair of magnets with different polarities is used, then all marker types can be attracted, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompatibility with different marker typesVSAvoidnumber of magnets and support structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple magnets with different polarities are merged into a single integrated marker adsorption part that is built into the lid structure. This combining approach maintains versatility while reducing overall device complexity by integrating the magnetic system into the existing lid rather than adding separate components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
