Layered Mosquito Bed Barrier to Stop Net Contact Bites
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mosquito netting systems are ineffective when a sleeper rolls over and abuts against the netting, allowing mosquitoes to pierce through and transmit deadly diseases such as Malaria and Yellow Fever.
Innovation Solution
A mosquito netting system featuring a combination of netting layers and plastic layers, where the plastic layers are oriented around the horizontal plane of the bed to prevent displacement and create an impenetrable barrier, ensuring mosquitoes cannot bite through even if the sleeper rolls against the net.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional mosquito netting is used, then it provides a barrier against mosquitoes, but it becomes ineffective when the sleeper rolls against it allowing mosquitoes to pierce through
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines netting material with plastic material to create a composite barrier structure. The netting layer provides mosquito filtration while the plastic layer provides puncture resistance, together creating a barrier that maintains effectiveness even when contacted by the sleeper.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different materials with different properties to different parts of the barrier structure. The netting portion handles mosquito blocking while the plastic portion handles mechanical stress from sleeper contact, optimizing each layer's function for its specific role.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the netting is made of ultra-fine mesh material, then it prevents mosquito bites, but it is easily displaced when the sleeper moves against it
Solution Approach 1:
The combination of netting and plastic layers creates a composite structure where the plastic provides structural stability and resistance to displacement, while the netting maintains its ultra-fine mesh configuration for mosquito protection.
Solution Approach 2:
The plastic layer acts as a flexible protective shell that maintains the barrier's position and shape even when contacted by the sleeper, preventing the ultra-fine netting from being displaced while still allowing the mosquito-blocking function to operate.
3Device complexity
If a single layer of netting is used, then the structure is simple, but it cannot prevent mosquito penetration when contacted by the sleeper
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a composite of netting and plastic materials in a multi-layer structure that maintains relative simplicity while significantly improving reliability. The layered composite provides both mosquito blocking and puncture resistance without overly complicating the overall device design.
Solution Approach 2:
The barrier is segmented into distinct functional layers: a netting layer for mosquito filtration and a plastic layer for mechanical strength. This segmentation allows each layer to perform its specific function optimally while maintaining an overall simple structure.

AI summary
A mosquito netting system for preventing the spread of mosquito-borne diseases caused by mosquito bites includes a barrier including a plurality of netting layers and a plurality of plastic layers attached to the netting layers, respectively. The system further includes a platform seated inside the barrier and surrounded by the netting layers as well as the plastic layers, and a bed housed within the barrier and supported by the platform. Notably, the netting layers are spaced above and below a horizontal plane of the bed while plastic layers are oriented about the horizontal plane of the bed thereby preventing undesirable displacement of the barrier away from an outer perimeter of the bed.
