Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing golf storage solutions fail to efficiently accommodate small accessories and provide a means for marking golf balls and aiding putting practice, limiting the convenience and effectiveness of training.
Innovation Solution
A multi-functional storage box with a foldable stick forming an inverted U-shaped gate and line-drawing portions on the cover, allowing for storage of small accessories and enabling line drawing on golf balls for marking and putting practice.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional storage box is used for golf accessories, then small items can be organized, but the box cannot provide marking or putting practice functions
Solution Approach 1:
The storage box is designed to perform multiple functions: storing golf accessories, marking golf balls with lines, and serving as a putting gate. The cover integrates both line-drawing portions for ball marking and the foldable stick forms a gate structure for putting practice, allowing one device to replace multiple separate tools.
Solution Approach 2:
The foldable stick is divided into multiple segments that can be connected and folded to form different configurations. This segmentation allows the stick to transform from a compact stored state to an extended gate structure, enabling versatile functionality without permanently increasing the device's footprint.
2Ease of operation
If multiple golf accessories are carried in the ball bag, then all necessary items are available, but items scatter and create debris
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple golf accessories (tees, divot tools, ball markers, pencils, oil-based pens) are merged into a single storage box that can be attached to the ball bag. This consolidation prevents items from scattering inside the bag while maintaining easy access to all necessary accessories during play.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the foldable stick is extended to form a gate, then putting practice is enabled, but the storage space is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The foldable stick transitions from a compact folded state during storage to an extended gate configuration during use. This dynamic transformation allows the device to provide putting practice functionality when needed while minimizing space occupation when stored in the box.
Solution Approach 2:
The foldable stick nests within the storage box when not in use, with the stick segments folded and stored inside the box body or in dedicated storage grooves. This nesting approach allows the gate structure to be kept compact and integrated with the storage function.
4Adaptability or versatility
If line-drawing portions are added to the cover, then ball marking is enabled, but the cover structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The line-drawing portions are integrated into specific localized areas of the cover rather than requiring complex modifications across the entire cover structure. The arc-shaped walls and line patterns are added as simple geometric features that provide marking functionality without significantly increasing overall structural complexity.

AI summary
A multi-functional storage box for golf is provided, comprising: a storage box and a foldable stick, the storage box comprising a box and a cover for opening and closing the case, one end of the foldable stick pivotally connected to the cover, the foldable stick being foldable into an inverted U-shaped gate standing adjacent to the cover; the cover having at least a line-drawing portion, and the line-drawing portion having an arc-shaped wall and at least a line. As such, in addition to storing items, the storage box can assist in drawing lines on the surface of the golf ball for marking, and the foldable stick can be bent into a gate shape, used as a putter by the golf ball For aiming purposes.
