Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing dog leashes with separate waste bag dispensers are cumbersome, noisy, and inconvenient to use, as they often require additional steps to manage pet waste during walks.
Innovation Solution
A dog rope leash with an integrated storage function, featuring a connection box with a storage cavity and access port, allowing for easy storage and retrieval of waste bags, which can be permanently fixed or adjusted on the handle, and used as a secondary handle.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a separate waste bag dispenser is attached to the leash, then waste bag storage and dispensing functions are provided, but the device becomes bulky, cumbersome, and noisy
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the waste bag dispenser function with the leash handle by integrating a storage cavity into the handle structure. The connection box with access port is built into the handle, allowing waste bags to be stored and dispensed without requiring a separate attached device, thus eliminating bulkiness and reducing noise.
Solution Approach 2:
The leash handle is designed with multi-functionality by incorporating a storage cavity that can hold waste bags and other items. The connection box serves both as a structural component of the leash and as a storage mechanism, allowing the leash to perform multiple functions (walking, waste bag storage, and item carrying) simultaneously.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a separate waste bag dispenser is attached to the leash, then waste bag storage and dispensing functions are provided, but distracting noises are generated while bouncing against the leash
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the dispenser function into the leash handle structure, the patent eliminates the separate component that causes noise. The integrated design removes the bouncing interface between a separate dispenser and the leash, thereby eliminating distracting noises during walking.
3Device complexity
If a single waste bag is tied around the leash, then the dispenser is simplified, but walking and picking up after the dog becomes inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The storage cavity is pre-configured within the leash handle to hold multiple waste bags and picking-up tools. This preliminary preparation allows the owner to have all necessary items readily available during the walk, eliminating the need to tie bags around the leash and making the walking process more convenient.
4Adaptability or versatility
If an independent waste bag dispenser is used, then waste bag storage is provided, but additional steps are required to manage pet waste during walks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the waste bag storage, dispensing, and carrying functions into a single integrated leash handle structure. This merging eliminates the need for separate dispensers and reduces the number of steps required to manage pet waste, as everything is accessible from the leash itself during walking.
