Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Male condoms and erectile dysfunction rings are typically sold separately, posing challenges for users with erectile dysfunction who need both items for sexual activity, and there is a lack of convenience in purchasing and sizing options for rings.
Innovation Solution
A kit comprising a male condom and one or more wearable rings, optionally with different diameters, packaged together in a single package, allowing for easy access and selection of the appropriate ring size.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If condoms and rings are sold separately, then each item can be optimized for its specific function, but users must make multiple purchases and it becomes more complex to obtain the complete set of items needed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the condom and ring into a single integrated kit packaged together. The ring is positioned within the condom packaging structure, allowing both items to be obtained in one purchase. This merging resolves the contradiction by maintaining separate item optimization while eliminating the need for multiple separate purchases, thereby improving purchasing convenience.
2Adaptability or versatility
If rings are sold separately, then sizing options can be offered, but users face difficulty in selecting and obtaining the correct size without separate purchases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple ring sizes into a single kit packaging. The packaging structure accommodates rings of different diameters, allowing users to select from various sizing options (e.g., small, medium, large rings) within one purchase. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining sizing versatility while simplifying the selection process through a single consolidated packaging unit.
3Ease of operation
If condoms and rings are packaged together, then purchasing convenience is improved, but the packaging structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a nested packaging structure where the ring is placed within the condom packaging. The ring fits inside the condom's internal cavity or is positioned in a dedicated compartment within the same packaging structure. This nesting approach resolves the contradiction by achieving consolidated packaging convenience while minimizing structural complexity through the use of the existing condom packaging framework.

AI summary
A kit comprising at least three male condoms, and at least three wearable constriction devices that are physically separate from the condoms. The male condoms are individually packaged in separate compartments, and, the wearable constriction devices are packaged together in a single compartment that is separate from the three male condom compartments. Alternatively, the male condoms are individually packaged in separate compartments, and, the wearable constriction devices are packaged individually in separate compartments that are also separate from the three male condom compartments.
