Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional peg hook label apparatuses interfere with the operation of attaching products to peg hooks due to their design, making the process inconvenient.

Innovation Solution

A peg hook label apparatus with a body featuring an electronic display unit and a holder that is designed to be fixed at the same angle as the inclination of the peg hook's end portion, preventing interference by having a first width greater than the locking hook's width, allowing smooth product placement and easy attachment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the label apparatus is attached to the peg hook, then product information can be displayed, but the label apparatus interferes with the operation of attaching products to the peg hook

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct information displayVSAvoidproduct attachment operation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The holder is designed with a width greater than the locking hook, creating a dimensional difference that allows the label apparatus to be positioned in a specific spatial relationship with the peg hook. This dimensional design enables the label to be held at an appropriate distance and angle, resolving the conflict between displaying information and allowing product attachment operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Ease of operation

If the holder width is increased to prevent interference, then product attachment becomes smoother, but the size of the label apparatus increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct placement smoothnessVSAvoidholder area
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The holder is designed with non-uniform width characteristics - the width is specifically increased only in the portion that contacts or interacts with the peg hook structure, while other portions maintain smaller dimensions. This localized dimensional adjustment provides the necessary operational clearance without proportionally increasing the overall area of the label apparatus.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A peg hook label apparatus includes a body provided with an electronic display unit displaying product information, and a holder provided on one end of the body and configured to have a first width in a portion connected to the body, the first width being greater than a second width of a locking hook disposed on an end portion thereof.
