Hinged Cookie Holder Assembly for Stable Milk Submersion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cookie support systems fail to effectively hold a cookie submerged in a glass of milk while allowing for sipping with cookie particles in suspension, lacking a practical and durable solution.
Innovation Solution
A cookie support system comprising a glass with a closed bottom and open top, a cookie support assembly with a hinge connecting two components that form chambers allowing milk flow and a visual monster design, along with positioning elements for easy manipulation, enabling the cookie to be secured and submerged during milk consumption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a cookie support assembly with chambers is used to hold a cookie submerged in milk, then the cookie can be securely held and submerged, but the device complexity increases due to multiple components and hinge mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The cookie support assembly is divided into multiple components including upper and lower chambers, a hinge mechanism, and positioning elements. This segmentation allows each component to perform a specific function (holding, articulating, positioning) while collectively achieving reliable cookie submersion and retention in the milk glass
2Ease of operation
If positioning elements are added to the cookie support assembly, then ease of operation improves for manipulating the cookie holder, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning elements on the cookie support assembly enable the device to self-position and self-manipulate within the glass, allowing the user to easily control cookie submersion and retrieval without requiring complex external manipulation mechanisms

AI summary
A lower component has a vertical central section and a lower section. The lower component is formed of parallel side walls. T The lower component has an open top and a closed bottom. The bottom is formed of an arcuate face. The arcuate face couples the side walls. The lower component has a horizontal upper section. The upper component has a vertical central section and a lower section. The upper component is formed of parallel side walls. The upper component has an open bottom and a closed top. The top is formed of an arcuate face. The arcuate face couples the side walls. The upper component has a horizontal upper section. Coupling components are provided between the lower and upper components. In this manner the lower and upper components may be opened and separated for positioning a cookie there between.
