Problem

Cosmetic items in purses often become disorganized, leading to difficulty in finding specific items, potential damage from melting or spilling, and damage to the purse, with existing solutions either not providing adequate organization or requiring a separate, cumbersome cosmetic bag.

Innovation Solution

A make-up organizer bag with a main body having multiple compartments separated by elastic dividers, a flap with a viewing mirror, and zipper pouches for accessories, designed to be integrated with a purse, preventing clutter and damage while allowing easy access to cosmetic items.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If cosmetic items are kept in a purse, then they are readily available for touch-up, but the purse becomes cluttered and disorganized making it difficult to locate items

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereadiness of cosmetic itemsVSAvoidorganization of purse contents
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements nesting by placing a compact cosmetic organizer bag inside the purse. This nested structure allows cosmetic items to be readily accessible while maintaining purse organization, as the organizer bag acts as a contained unit that can be quickly accessed without disturbing other purse contents.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The organizer bag is divided into multiple compartments and sections that segment cosmetic items into organized categories. This segmentation prevents clutter by separating different cosmetic products, allowing users to easily locate specific items while keeping the overall purse structure clean and organized.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Quantity of substance

If cosmetic items are tossed inside the bag, then storage space is utilized, but the items become disorganized and difficult to locate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage capacityVSAvoidlocatability of cosmetic items
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The organizer bag employs multiple compartments, sections, and dividers that segment the storage space into organized categories. This segmentation allows maximum utilization of storage capacity while maintaining systematic organization, making every cosmetic item easily locatable through clear spatial separation rather than random placement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of operation

If cosmetic items are stored in a separate bag, then organization is improved, but the burden of carrying increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveorganization of cosmetic itemsVSAvoidtotal carrying weight
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the cosmetic organizer function with a compact bag structure that integrates seamlessly with existing purses. By combining organization features (compartments, dividers, sections) with a space-efficient container design, the system provides thorough cosmetic organization without requiring a separate, cumbersome bag, thus minimizing additional carrying weight.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Ease of operation

If cosmetic items are kept in the purse, then accessibility is maintained, but damage from melting or spilling occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccessibility of cosmetic itemsVSAvoiddamage to cosmetic items and purse
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The nested organizer bag structure provides a protective container within the purse that isolates cosmetic items from potential damage. The organized compartments and secured storage spaces prevent melting or spilling while maintaining accessibility, thereby protecting both the cosmetic items and the purse from harmful effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The organizer bag design incorporates protective elements and secured compartments that provide beforehand protection against melting or spilling. By pre-organizing items in stable, contained spaces with proper structural support, the system prevents harmful effects before they can occur, protecting both items and purse.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

5Ease of operation

If a separate cosmetic bag is carried, then organization is improved, but the cumulative burden of carrying increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveorganization of cosmetic itemsVSAvoidnumber of items to carry
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the cosmetic organizer functionality directly into a compact bag structure that integrates with existing purses. This integration combines multiple functions (storage, organization, protection) into a single unit, eliminating the need to carry separate cosmetic bags and reducing the cumulative burden of multiple items.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The organizer bag serves multiple functions simultaneously: it stores cosmetic items, provides organized compartments, offers protective containment, and integrates with existing purses. This multi-functionality consolidates what would otherwise require separate items, reducing the number of things to carry while maintaining excellent organization.

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