Nested Carrying Wrap for Moving Sleepers Without Disturbance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing human carrying devices fail to safely transport a sleeping individual from a car seat or similar to another location without waking them.
Innovation Solution
A novel carrying device comprising two pliable material units joined by adhesion material with straps for secure lifting, designed to accommodate various human sizes and weights, featuring optional skull caps and flaps for secure attachment to car seats.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a traditional carrying device is used to transport a sleeping human, then the human can be moved from one location to another, but the human is likely to be woken due to disruption and lack of proper support
Solution Approach 1:
The carrying device is placed inside the car seat to create a nested structure. The device comprises nested layers including a bottom layer, middle layer, and top layer that collectively form a protective cocoon for the sleeping human, allowing transport while maintaining sleep state through proper support and isolation from external disturbances
Solution Approach 2:
The carrying device is divided into multiple functional segments: a bottom layer for foundational support, middle layers for lateral support and positioning, and a top layer for head and upper body support. This segmentation allows each layer to perform its specific function optimally, ensuring the sleeping human remains undisturbed during transport
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a soft, pliable carrying device is used to maintain comfort, then the sleeping human remains comfortable, but the device may lack sufficient structural support for safe lifting and transport
Solution Approach 1:
The carrying device utilizes composite material structures where soft, pliable materials are combined with stronger support elements. The device includes integrated handholds made from strap materials that provide both the softness needed for comfort and the strength required for safe lifting and transport of the sleeping human
3Adaptability or versatility
If the carrying device is designed to accommodate various human sizes and weights, then versatility is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The carrying device incorporates dynamic, adjustable elements including straps with varying lengths that can be configured to accommodate different human sizes and weights. The pliable material units can be positioned and arranged to suit different body types, providing versatility without requiring multiple specialized devices
Solution Approach 2:
The carrying device is designed as a universal solution that can be used with various types of seats (car seats, strollers, carriers) and accommodate different human sizes. The standardized design with adjustable straps and pliable materials allows one device to serve multiple functions and users, reducing overall system complexity
