Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for an entertainment device that can be securely attached to a wearer's nose to entertain infants during diaper changing, minimizing undesirable movements and preventing the spreading of waste, while also providing comfort and stability.
Innovation Solution
An entertaining nose clasp apparatus with a resilient band and adjustable pads, combined with an entertainment device that includes visually and aurally engaging features, such as lights, sounds, and interactive elements, which can be securely attached to the nose using a flexible and adjustable mechanism.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a nose clasp apparatus is attached to entertain infants during diaper changing, then infant entertainment and stability are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines a nose clasp apparatus with an entertainment device into a single integrated unit. The nose clasp includes pads for closing nostrils and an entertainment device attached thereto, merging two separate functions (nose closing and infant entertainment) into one device, thereby improving ease of operation during diaper changing while managing complexity through functional integration
2Reliability
If the nose clasp apparatus is made secure and stable, then attachment reliability is improved, but comfort and adjustability may worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The nose clasp apparatus employs a resilient band instead of a rigid structure, allowing the band to flex and adapt to different nose shapes and sizes. This dynamic design maintains secure attachment through elastic resistance while providing comfort and adjustability for different wearers, resolving the contradiction between reliability and adaptability
3Ease of operation
If the entertainment device includes multiple engaging features (lights, sounds, interactive elements), then infant entertainment effectiveness is improved, but device complexity and manufacturing difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The entertainment device is designed with multiple functions (visual lights, audible sounds, interactive elements) that can be integrated into a single apparatus. This multi-functional design improves infant entertainment effectiveness while managing manufacturing complexity through unified design and potential use of standard electronic components

AI summary
An entertaining nose clasp apparatus is described that includes a nose clasp, an extension and an entertainment device. The nose clasp includes two components and a mechanism for the adjustment of the components. The components connect to the nose of a wearer. The extension includes a first side an opposing second side and side edges. The extension is positionable adjoining the nose. The extension stabilizes the position of the entertainment device relative to the nose of the wearer. The entertaining nose clasp apparatus is constructed for operational use in odorous environments, but can also be used in other environments for entertainment. The entertainment device includes a broad range of decorative two and three dimensional objects.
