Personal Carrier With Segmented Strap Slots
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional personal carrier designs, such as tote bags, lack secure closure and stability, making them prone to spills and theft, while traditional satchels offer security but limited flexibility in wear configurations.
Innovation Solution
A personal carrier with a flexible front and rear panel, featuring multiple strap attachment slots on the rear panel and a closure flap, allowing for various body orientations and secure attachment options, including vertical, horizontal, and diagonal configurations, to securely carry items like notebooks, phones, and pens.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional satchel designs are used, then security and stability are improved, but flexibility in wear configurations deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The strap attachment system is segmented into multiple discrete slots positioned at different locations and orientations on the carrier body. This allows the single strap to be configured in different patterns (across-body, shoulder, handheld) while maintaining secure attachment, thus providing both security and wear configuration flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The strap attachment system is made dynamic by allowing the strap to be repositioned between multiple slots depending on the desired wear configuration. This dynamic reconfigurability enables the same carrier to adapt to different user needs and situations while maintaining secure attachment throughout.
2Ease of operation
If tote bag designs are used, then ease of operation is improved, but security and stability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The carrier body is segmented into multiple compartments with individual access points. This allows users to access specific items without opening the entire carrier, maintaining security for contents in other compartments while providing ease of operation for frequently accessed items.
Solution Approach 2:
The closure flap acts as an intermediary element that provides controlled access to the main compartment. When closed, it secures contents; when opened, it allows access. This mediator element reconciles the contradiction between security (closed state) and ease of operation (open state).
