Solution Overview

Problem

Existing handbag holders lack design efficiency for manufacturing, packaging, and storage, and fail to securely hold bags without handles, while also providing inadequate stability and theft deterrence, especially in public areas.

Innovation Solution

A vertical anti-snatching stand with articulated carabiner-style hooks, a slotted base for stacking, and a threaded assembly system, combined with an elastic-mesh bag accessory and a rechargeable stand-alone box with anti-theft features, ensuring stability and space optimization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a traditional handbag holder design is used, then the structure is simple, but it lacks stability and theft deterrence in public areas

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetheft deterrenceVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The handbag holder is divided into separate components: a base, a vertical shaft, and articulated carabiner hooks. This segmentation allows each part to be optimized independently - the base provides stability, the shaft provides height, and the carabiner hooks provide secure attachment with locking capability, thereby improving theft deterrence without excessive overall complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The hooks are designed as articulated carabiner-style components that can move and lock into position. This dynamic element allows the hook to adapt to different bag configurations while the locking mechanism provides static security when engaged, enhancing both usability and theft deterrence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of manufacture

If existing hanger designs are used, then manufacturing is simple, but packaging, collection and transportation costs are high due to space inefficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidstorage space
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The design allows the articulated hooks to be positioned such that they nest within the shaft structure when not in use. The base and shaft dimensions are optimized to minimize the overall footprint, enabling compact storage and efficient stacking during packaging, collection, and transportation while maintaining manufacturing simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Adaptability or versatility

If existing hanger designs are used, then the structure is straightforward, but it cannot hold bags without handles securely

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebag type compatibilityVSAvoidholder structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The carabiner-style hooks are designed to accommodate multiple types of bags - those with handles can be hooked directly, while bags without handles can be secured using the elastic-mesh accessory that attaches to the hooks. This universal design approach enables the same basic structure to serve multiple functions and handle various bag types without requiring additional complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

An elastic-mesh accessory bag serves as an intermediary element between the hooks and bags without handles. The mesh accessory can be attached to the carabiner hooks, providing a secure attachment point for handleless bags, thereby extending the versatility of the holder without complicating the main structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Reliability

If a secure locking system is added to prevent theft, then theft deterrence improves, but the assembly and disassembly process becomes complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-snatching securityVSAvoidassembly simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The carabiner-style hooks incorporate a self-locking mechanism that automatically engages when the hook is attached to a bag. The user simply needs to open the carabiner gate to attach or detach the bag, and the locking mechanism handles the security function automatically. This self-service approach provides strong anti-snatching security without requiring complex manual assembly or disassembly procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A vertical anti-snatching stand for holding handbags, which is structured into a main body formed by a slotted base (27) and a shaft (1) with two hooks (2a) and (2b) which are arranged at different heights and on the same plane, hooks which incorporate an anti-snatching safety locking system that has a fastener (3) that is articulated to the tip at the end of each of the hooks (2a) and (2b) by a spring bolt (4) for theft deterrence. The design of the invention facilitates, through the slot (26) of its base (27), the stacking of several units on said bases (27) to optimize space while it is not being used. The invention has two inventions that can be coupled: an elastic-mesh-type bag (12) to hold all handbags without a handle and a stand-alone box (14) to recharge electronic terminals.
