Leash-Integrated Cylindrical Carrier for Pet Item Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Pet owners face challenges in carrying personal and pet items during walks, as traditional methods are bulky, uncomfortable, and increase theft risk, while also requiring a means to store pet waste, which is inconvenient and unhygienic.
Innovation Solution
A leash-engageable, elongated cylindrical carrier made of flexible material that encircles a pet leash, providing a stealthy storage compartment for personal items and pet waste bags, with elastic compression to maintain inconspicuousness and secure closure.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a purse or bag is used to carry personal and pet items, then storage capacity is improved, but bulk and discomfort increase
Solution Approach 1:
The carrier transitions from traditional bag storage (carried on body) to leash-integrated storage (suspended from leash), utilizing the vertical dimension along the leash rather than horizontal body carriage. This dimensional shift allows hands-free operation and reduces bulk while maintaining storage capacity for personal and pet items.
2Quantity of substance
If a purse or bag is carried in public areas, then personal item storage is improved, but theft risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the storage function from traditional purses or bags and integrates it directly into the leash system. By removing the separate carrier bag and incorporating storage compartments into the leash itself, the design eliminates the need to carry visible external bags, thereby reducing theft risk while maintaining personal item storage capability.
3Object-generated harmful factors
If a plastic bag with pet waste is placed in a purse or pocket, then pet waste disposal is achieved, but hygiene and comfort deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The carrier is segmented into distinct compartments: a dedicated sealed waste bag holder and separate personal item storage sections. This segmentation isolates pet waste containment from personal belongings, preventing contamination and odor transfer. The waste area can be independently accessed and disposed of without compromising personal item hygiene or comfort.
4Quantity of substance
If multiple personal and pet items are carried separately, then storage requirements are met, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges multiple storage functions into a single integrated leash carrier unit. Personal items, pet waste bags, and related accessories are combined into one unified device with multiple compartments, eliminating the need to carry separate purses, bags, and waste containers. This consolidation reduces device complexity from multiple separate items to a single multi-functional carrier.

AI summary
A leash engageable carrier for personal items of a user walking with a pet connected to a leash. The carrier has an elongated cylindrical body formed by a sidewall which surrounds the leash. The body is adapted for sliding engagement on a leash passing through an interior cavity and openings at opposite ends of the body. An interior cavity defined by said sidewall is accessible while the body is engaged with the leash through an opening communicating through the sidewall which has a closure.
