Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing pet carrying bags for bicycles lack secure and stable attachment options, are not adaptable to different bicycle handle bar configurations, and are not foldable for storage, causing discomfort to pets and safety issues for riders.
Innovation Solution
A pet carrying bag made of flexible material with embedded rigid back and bottom boards, featuring adjustable tie bands and movable boards for secure attachment to various bicycle handle bars, and a foldable design using Velcro and pull cords for easy storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the carrying bag is made of hard or rigid materials to provide structural support, then the structural stability is improved, but the foldability for storage and transportation is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The rigid structure is segmented into separate boards (back board, bottom board, side boards) that can be independently folded and connected through hinges, allowing the bag to maintain rigidity when assembled and fold flat for storage
Solution Approach 2:
The bag structure transitions from a static rigid form to a dynamic foldable structure through hinges and movable connections, enabling it to change between an extended stable configuration and a collapsed compact configuration
2Reliability
If the carrying bag uses a fixed attachment mechanism to ensure secure installation, then the installation security is improved, but the adaptability to different bicycle handle bar configurations is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment mechanism is designed with universal features including adjustable tie bands, multiple attachment points, and flexible positioning capabilities that allow it to securely attach to various handle bar shapes, sizes, and configurations
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment system uses movable and adjustable components such as tie bands with buckles and repositionable straps that can be dynamically adjusted to fit different handle bar configurations while maintaining secure attachment
3Adaptability or versatility
If the carrying bag is designed with complex attachment mechanisms to fit different bicycle configurations, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The bag utilizes flexible material for the main body and flexible straps for attachment, allowing the structure to conform to different handle bar shapes without requiring complex rigid adjustment mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment system is divided into simple modular components (tie bands, straps, buckles, clips) that can be independently adjusted and positioned, reducing the complexity of the overall mechanism while maintaining adaptability

AI summary
Present invention provides a pet carrying bag utilizing first tie bands and second tie band to provide means for securing the bag to a bicycle handle bar when looping the bands around the handle bar and clicking the insertion prongs to the receiving insertion shells. Such installation mechanism allows for tight and secure fit to bicycle handle bars of different configurations. The bag body is made of flexible materials with rigid back board and bottom board embedded inside the flexible material, for easy fold-down and storage. During regular usage, two movable boards can be set, by using common Velcro pieces, to prop the bag open, creating a maximum space for the pets.
