Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional grip tools are bulky, heavy, and costly, making them cumbersome to carry and use, and require multiple tools for various tasks, including screwdriver bits, which complicates operations.
Innovation Solution
A multi-functional grip tool design featuring an inner main body with sockets, a connecting seat system, and a tool lid that accommodates screwdriver bits, allowing for easy storage and use of multiple bits without the need for separate tools, with a lightweight and cost-effective structure.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Force
If conventional grip tool is made of metal material to provide sufficient driving force, then driving capability is improved, but weight and bulkiness increase
Solution Approach 1:
The grip tool combines metal components (driving portions, sockets) with non-metal materials (main body housing, handle). This composite construction maintains sufficient driving force through metal elements while reducing overall weight and bulkiness through lighter materials, directly resolving the contradiction between driving capability and tool weight.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate tools are used for various driving tasks, then functional versatility is improved, but device complexity and portability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The grip tool integrates multiple driving portions (different sizes and types) and sockets for various screwdriver bits into a single unified tool body. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for multiple separate tools, reducing device complexity and improving portability while maintaining functional versatility for different driving tasks.
Solution Approach 2:
Screwdriver bits are stored within the grip tool body in a nested arrangement, with bits accommodated inside the main body or handle structure. This nesting approach allows multiple bits to be carried conveniently within the single tool, reducing the number of separate tools needed while maintaining access to various bit types.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate tools are prepared for screwdriver bits, then functional capability is improved, but ease of operation and portability worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The grip tool provides a unified structure that accommodates both driving portions for nuts and sockets for screwdriver bits, allowing the operator to perform multiple driving tasks with a single tool. This eliminates the need to switch between separate tools, significantly improving ease of operation and portability while maintaining full functional capability.
Solution Approach 2:
Screwdriver bits are pre-stored within the grip tool body in accessible locations. The tool is designed with predetermined storage positions and quick-access mechanisms, allowing operators to readily select and attach the required bit without needing to search through separate tool cases, thereby improving operational convenience.

AI summary
A multi-functional grip tool has a plurality of sockets and a fixing member. One end of each socket has a joint portion. One side of the joint portion is fixedly connected to the fixing member. Another end of each the socket has a driving portion. A circumferential edge of an upper connecting seat has a plurality of upper accommodating recesses corresponding to the sockets. A circumferential edge of a lower connecting seat has a plurality of lower accommodating recesses corresponding to the sockets. When the upper connecting seat and the lower connecting seat are joined together, the sockets are accommodated between the upper accommodating recesses and the lower accommodating recesses, respectively. The upper connecting seat and the lower connecting seat are formed with protruding seats, respectively. The protruding seat defines a receiving room therein. A tool lid is disposed on an opening of the receiving room.
