Pan Label Pocket for Roasting Bag Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing baking and roasting pans lack a convenient method to securely integrate roasting materials like aluminum foil and plastic bags, leading to accidental separation during storage and sale.
Innovation Solution
A pan design featuring a label with a pocket on the rear side for holding roasting materials, which can be affixed to the pan's bottom base, allowing for secure storage and transport of these materials as a single unit.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If roasting materials are sold separately from pans, then consumers can purchase only what they need, but the materials may accidentally separate from the pan during storage and sale
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the pan and roasting materials into a single integrated unit by attaching the materials to the pan using adhesive labels, elastic bands, or clips. This merging ensures they remain connected during storage and sale while still allowing consumers to purchase only what they need.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces intermediary elements such as adhesive labels, elastic bands, and clips that serve as mediators between the pan and roasting materials. These intermediaries provide a reliable connection while maintaining the ability to separate the materials when needed.
2Reliability
If roasting materials are attached to the pan, then they remain connected during storage and sale, but the attachment method must be simple and cost-effective
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs inexpensive, disposable attachment elements such as adhesive labels and elastic bands that provide reliable connection during storage and sale but can be easily removed or discarded after use, keeping the overall system simple and cost-effective.
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment system is segmented into separate, independent components (adhesive label, elastic band, or clip) that can be applied and removed independently, simplifying the overall attachment mechanism while maintaining connection reliability.
3Reliability
If a pocket is formed on the label to hold roasting materials, then secure storage is achieved, but the label structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a pocket structure on the label where one element (the pocket) is nested within another (the label). This nesting provides secure storage for roasting materials while maintaining a compact, integrated label structure that does not significantly increase overall complexity.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables convenient and secure integration of roasting materials with the pan, preventing separation during storage and sale, and facilitates easy access for consumers, while allowing for efficient stacking and display.
Implementation Method 1
using adhesive or epoxy for secure attachment

AI summary
In summary there is provided in one embodiment a combination of a pan with a label for holding a roasting bag. The pan is defined by having a bottom base having a base periphery edge and a sidewall extending upwardly from the base periphery edge and terminating at a side edge to create a well therebetween. The label includes front and rear sides. The rear side being secured to the bottom base and includes a pocket formed thereon. The pocket has an access opening into an internal space of the pocket. The roasting bag is positioned within and removable from the pocket of the label.
