Compact Personal Hygiene Kit With Refillable Perfume Spray
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing personal hygiene kits lack a compact, economical design that integrates a refillable perfume spray mechanism with sectional storage for multiple personal hygiene items, such as tweezers, toothpicks, matches, and chewing gum, while also providing a secure loop for ChapStick.
Innovation Solution
A pocket-sized device comprising a first section for tweezers, matches, and toothpick, a central section with a refillable reservoir and spray mechanism for perfume, and a third section for chewing gum, all made of durable materials like aluminum, with a design that allows for customizable engravings and secure storage options.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple personal hygiene items are stored separately, then each item can be accessed individually, but the overall device size and portability are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into three distinct sections: a first section for tweezers and toothpicks, a central section for the perfume reservoir and spray mechanism, and a third section for chewing gum. This segmentation allows each item to be stored in its own dedicated space while maintaining a compact overall structure that fits in a pocket.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a spray mechanism is added to store perfume, then fragrance dispensing functionality is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The central section serves multiple functions: it stores the perfume reservoir, houses the spray mechanism, and provides structural connection between the first and third sections. The spray mechanism itself is designed to be both a storage container and a dispensing device, eliminating the need for separate perfume bottle and spray can components.
3Strength
If durable materials like aluminum are used, then device strength and longevity are improved, but manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The device employs aluminum for the main structural components (sections and cap) where strength and durability are critical, while likely using less expensive materials for internal components like the reservoir and spray mechanism parts. This composite approach ensures the device is durable enough for travel use while controlling manufacturing costs through selective material application.

AI summary
A personal hygiene kit including a first section assembly attached to a central portion and a third section assembly attached to the central portion thereof. The first section assembly includes a first section wherein can be inserted and kept any hygiene personal kit or any type of lighter with a striker. The central portion includes a central portion which is configured as a reservoir to insert liquid perfume or cologne to spray through the top portion by a head spray having a rear side configured as a slot compartment. The third section assembly includes a third portion which is configured to store any candy or pellet by the user and has a holder on the side to fasten an external personal item. The central portion with the first section and third section on the sides thereof are sealed on the top by a cap to prevent any debris.
