Holder for container
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing beverage container holders lack versatility in securing to various objects, venting capabilities, and accommodating different container sizes, leading to difficulties in carrying and accessing the contents.
Innovation Solution
A D-shaped container holder with a curved and flat profile, featuring a vented outer shell, a breathable inner liner, and an intermediate foam layer, along with adjustable straps and securement clips, allowing for easy attachment to bags and coolers, and accommodating various container sizes through compressible foam layers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing beverage container holders are used, then basic container holding function is provided, but versatility in securing to various objects is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The container holder incorporates multiple attachment mechanisms including straps with buckles, clips, and loops that can secure to various objects such as bags, coolers, and belts. This multi-functional attachment system allows the same holder to be universally applied to different carrying scenarios without requiring multiple different holders.
2Reliability
If existing beverage container holders are used, then simple structure is maintained, but venting capabilities are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The holder incorporates porous foam material that allows air permeation and ventilation. This porous structure enables breathability and moisture wicking while maintaining the insulating properties of the foam, providing effective venting without requiring complex mechanical ventilation systems.
3Adaptability or versatility
If existing beverage container holders are used, then fixed size structure is maintained, but accommodating different container sizes is difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The holder employs adjustable straps with buckles and elastic components that can be modified in length and tension. This dynamic adjustment capability allows the holder to adapt its dimensions and firmness to accommodate various container sizes securely, while maintaining ease of operation through simple strap adjustment mechanisms.
4Ease of operation
If existing beverage container holders are used, then basic carrying function is provided, but user convenience and accessibility are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The holder is divided into functional segments including an outer shell, inner liner, foam insulation layer, and separate attachment components. This segmentation allows each layer to perform its specific function independently while collectively providing secure attachment, thermal insulation, and easy access to container contents through the modular structure.

AI summary
A container holder may include an inner liner, an outer shell, and an intermediate layer in between the inner liner and the outer shell. The inner liner may provide an inner wall. And the inner wall may include a cavity for receiving a container. The container holder can define a first portion and a second portion. The first portion may follow a curved profile and the second portion may follow a flat profile such that a cross-section of the container holder follows a D-shape. The second portion may have a series of openings extending through the outer shell to vent the cavity to an outside. A series of loops may cover the series of openings on the second portion and a pair of clips can be mounted to the series of loops. A bottom vent can extend through the base, the intermediate layer, and the inner liner.
