Pet Diaper Tail Mark for Accurate Placement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing disposable diapers for pets often have small tail holes, making it difficult for users to correctly position the diaper, leading to misjudgment of the main body portion's direction and placement.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a tail mark portion that indicates the position of the tail hole, allowing users to easily recognize and insert the tail, ensuring proper placement and alignment of the diaper.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the tail hole is made small relative to the entire range of the main body portion, then the diaper structure remains compact and simple, but the user becomes unaware of the tail hole's position and direction, leading to misplacement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a tail mark portion as an intermediary visual indicator between the user and the tail hole. This mark portion, which may include patterns, colors, or symbols, serves as a mediator to guide the user's placement action without requiring the tail hole itself to be large or visually prominent. The tail mark portion is positioned to correspond with the tail hole's location and orientation, enabling accurate placement while keeping the diaper structure compact.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes color changes and visual patterns on the tail mark portion to enhance visibility and guidance. The mark portion may feature contrasting colors, patterns, or symbols that stand out against the diaper's main body, making it easily recognizable to users. This visual differentiation allows users to quickly identify the correct placement position and orientation without needing to search for a small tail hole.
2Device complexity
If the tail hole position is not clearly indicated, then the diaper design remains simple, but the user misjudges the direction or position of placement
Solution Approach 1:
The tail mark portion acts as an intermediary visual guide that bridges the gap between the diaper's simple design and the user's need for precise placement information. The mark portion provides directional and positional cues without adding complex structural elements to the diaper itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The tail mark portion is pre-positioned and pre-configured on the diaper during manufacturing to indicate the correct placement position and orientation before the user attempts to place the diaper. This preliminary visual guidance prevents misplacement by providing all necessary information in advance.
3Device complexity
If the tail hole is small, then the diaper maintains a compact structure, but users fail to insert the tail correctly through the hole
Solution Approach 1:
The tail mark portion serves as an intermediary guide that helps users locate and align the tail with the small tail hole. By providing visual cues about the hole's position and orientation, the mark portion compensates for the hole's small size, making insertion easier without requiring the hole to be larger.
Solution Approach 2:
The tail mark portion uses visual differentiation through color, pattern, or symbol to draw the user's attention to the correct insertion point. This visual enhancement makes the small tail hole more noticeable and guides the user's hand movement for accurate tail insertion.

AI summary
A disposable diaper for pet (1) includes a waistline direction (W) disposed along a waistline direction of a pet, a cross direction (Z) orthogonal to the waistline direction, a main body portion (2), and a tail hole (70) through which a tail of pet can be inserted. The main body portion (2) has a topsheet (10), a backsheet (20), and an absorbent core (30) arranged between the topsheet and the backsheet. The disposable diaper for pet has a tail mark portion (50) that indicates a position of the tail hole.
