Kinetic Wrist Bracelet Holder for Spill-Safe Container Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for carrying external objects like tools or containers, such as prophylaxis paste containers, are inefficient, leading to spills and reduced effectiveness due to the need for manual handling, which is not conducive to repeated use.
Innovation Solution
A kinetically induced bracelet with a holder that includes a unitary body with an inner core and outer layer, featuring holder sidewalls that can transition between linear and annular orientations, allowing secure and efficient retention of contents like prophylaxis paste containers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual handling of prophylaxis paste containers is used, then the professional can carry the container, but the effectiveness is reduced and spills occur
Solution Approach 1:
The device segments the container holding function from manual handling by creating a separate holder component with sidewalls that securely retain the prophylaxis paste container, allowing it to be carried independently of hand manipulation
Solution Approach 2:
The holder acts as an intermediary between the professional and the prophylaxis paste container, providing a stable interface that prevents direct manual handling issues while maintaining accessibility to the container contents
2Adaptability or versatility
If apparel items like belts and necklaces are used to carry external objects, then the objects can be transported, but the utilization efficiency is low and repeated use is not conducive
Solution Approach 1:
The bracelet integrates multiple functions into a single wearable device: it serves as both a fashion accessory and a functional holder for prophylaxis paste containers, eliminating the need for separate carrying items like belts or necklaces
Solution Approach 2:
The holder sidewalls are designed to be dynamically adjustable, allowing them to transition between different positions to accommodate container insertion and removal, thereby enhancing both carrying capability and utilization efficiency
3Volume of moving object
If the holder sidewall is in linear orientation, then the bracelet is compact, but the container access is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The holder sidewalls are designed to be dynamically reconfigurable, allowing them to shift from a compact linear orientation during storage to an expanded orientation during container access, thus resolving the contradiction between compactness and accessibility

AI summary
A kinetically induced wrist bracelet with holder that includes a unitary body defining a body length separating the ends thereon, having an inner core of an arcuate shape spanning along the body length, having an outer layer surrounding the inner core and spanning along the body length, having at least one holder sidewall directly coupled to the outer layer and disposed in an erect configuration relative to the outer layer to define a cavity shaped and sized to receive a selectively removable container therein, and operably configured with an impetus to have a first position of a linear orientation including the at least one holder sidewall projecting outwardly from a concave surface on the arcuate shape of outer layer and have a second position of an annular orientation including the at least one holder sidewall projecting outwardly from a convex surface on the arcuate shape of the outer layer.
