Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional passport wallets separate the passport from other travel documents and items, causing inconvenience and increasing the risk of loss, as they are often stored in different bags or pockets, making it difficult to organize and present them together during travel.
Innovation Solution
A passport case with a case body, first and second locking parts, a hinge, and an auxiliary storage and mounting part that allows the cover to fold and adjust angles, securely storing a passport and accommodating additional items like airline tickets, cards, and mobile devices, ensuring easy access and organization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the passport is stored in a separate passport wallet, then the passport is protected from damage and wear, but the passport and other travel items become difficult to organize and access together
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the passport wallet function with additional storage compartments for travel items such as tickets, cards, and receipts into a single integrated case. The case body includes a passport holder for the passport and separate storage spaces for other items, allowing all travel documents and essentials to be organized together while maintaining secure storage for the passport.
Solution Approach 2:
The travel case is designed to serve multiple functions simultaneously: it protects the passport, stores travel documents, accommodates personal items, and provides a compact carrying solution. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate wallets and bags, improving organization and accessibility while maintaining passport security.
2Reliability
If the passport and other items are stored separately in different bags or pockets, then each item is securely stored, but travelers have to look for items in different places causing inconvenience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple storage functions into a single case structure. The case body contains a passport holder, additional storage compartments for tickets and cards, and a compact design that fits in pockets or bags. This merging of storage functions allows travelers to keep all items secure while accessing them from one centralized location, eliminating the time-consuming search through multiple separate containers.
3Reliability
If a transparent vinyl case is used for the passport, then the passport is visible and protected, but the case lacks functionality for storing additional travel items
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends the basic passport case design by adding multiple storage compartments and sections within the case body. These additional storage spaces can accommodate travel items such as airline tickets, boarding passes, credit cards, and receipts. The case maintains the protective function for the passport while providing versatile storage options for other travel essentials, transforming a simple protective case into a comprehensive travel organization system.
