Fishing Lure Storage Peg for Damage-Free Hanging Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing storage and display solutions for fishing lures often lead to damage, tangling, and loss due to inadequate compartmentalization, hanging by the hook end causing damage to the hook, and storing lures upside-down, which affects their form and functionality.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a peg element and a filament with a diameter-increasing element allows for secure storage and display of fishing lures by passing the lure's eye over the diameter-increasing element, maintaining the lure's intended configuration and preventing damage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If lures are stored in compartmentalized containers, then organization is improved, but accessibility and visibility are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the lure storage into individual hanging positions on a board, with each position capable of holding one lure. This segmentation allows for organized storage while maintaining easy access to individual lures, as they are displayed vertically rather than stacked in compartments.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from horizontal compartmentalized storage to vertical hanging storage. By utilizing the vertical dimension and hanging lures by their eyes rather than storing them in horizontal drawers, the system improves both organization and accessibility simultaneously.
2Ease of operation
If lures are hung by the hook end, then storage simplicity is improved, but hook integrity is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of hanging lures by their hook ends as in conventional storage, this system inverts the approach by hanging lures by their eyes (the opposite end). This reversal prevents the hook from contacting surfaces that could dull or damage it, while still maintaining simple vertical hanging storage.
3Volume of stationary object
If lures are stored upside-down, then storage space utilization is improved, but lure performance is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The system corrects the upside-down storage issue by inverting the orientation - lures are hung right-side up by their eyes rather than being stored upside-down by their hooks. This ensures the lure maintains its proper form and performance characteristics while still achieving efficient vertical storage.
4Reliability
If soft material is used to retain hooks, then retention is improved, but hook integrity is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts the hook from the retention mechanism entirely. Instead of using soft material that contacts and potentially damages the hook, the system retains the lure by its eye through the diameter-increasing element, completely removing the source of hook damage while maintaining secure retention.
