Modular Sound Mixing Bag with Adjustable Frame and Pivotable Wings
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current bags for carrying audio mixing components are inflexible, unable to manage multiple equipment configurations, and struggle with organizing and transporting numerous wires, limiting their usability for sound mixing professionals.
Innovation Solution
A modular bag system featuring a rigid frame with vertically interspaced surfaces and pivotable wings, allowing for adjustable configurations and easy management of cables, along with a handle that can extend outside the bag for versatile use on surfaces or during transport.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a rigid frame with vertically interspaced surfaces and pivotable wings is used, then adaptability and versatility are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The carrying system is divided into a rigid frame with multiple vertically interspaced surfaces and pivotable wings that can be independently positioned. Each surface and wing segment can be separately adjusted to accommodate different equipment sizes and configurations, allowing the system to adapt to various sound production components without requiring a completely different carrier for each configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The pivotable wings are designed to rotate between multiple positions, transforming from a static structure to a dynamic one. This allows the wings to adapt their configuration based on the equipment being carried, enabling the same frame to accommodate different equipment arrangements while managing the complexity through standardized pivot mechanisms.
2Ease of operation
If the bag is designed to receive the rigid frame in a folded configuration, then portability is improved, but the ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The rigid frame is pre-designed with a folded configuration that fits within the bag, and the attachment surfaces are pre-positioned to align with standard equipment mounting points. This preliminary arrangement of components allows for rapid deployment when the frame is removed from the bag, reducing setup time while maintaining portability during transport.

AI summary
An apparatus for carrying sound production components includes a frame with a plurality of vertically interspaced mounting structures, which are vertically adjustable. Each of the vertically interspaced mounting structures releasably engage with a plurality of sound production components. A folding surface with at least one attached wing is pivotably mounted to a top of the frame, such that the folding surface and the at least one attached wing can releasably engage with at least one of the plurality of sound production components. A bag receives the frame in a folded configuration and encloses the frame and the plurality of sound production components.
