Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing pet restraining devices are inadequate in accommodating various pet body shapes due to limited adjustability, and they require manual handling that can be risky and labor-intensive.
Innovation Solution
A pet restraint bag with an outer and inner layer body, featuring adjustable extensions and through openings, allows for flexible accommodation of different pet sizes and shapes, and can be easily closed to prevent escape.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a rigid frame structure is used for pet restraint, then the device provides stable support, but it cannot accommodate various body shapes of different pets
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the rigid frame structure with a flexible bag body that can adapt to different pet body shapes through material flexibility and structural deformation. The bag body includes a receiving space and extension portions that can be adjusted to accommodate various sizes and shapes of pets without requiring complex mechanical adjustment mechanisms.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the connection bar fixing position is preset, then the structure is simple, but the suspending device cannot be flexibly mounted for pets of excessive large or small sizes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the preset fixed connection bar with dynamic adjustment mechanisms including extension portions with adjustable lengths and multiple fastening positions. The first extension portion connects to the second extension portion through a connection structure that allows length adjustment, and the suspending device can be mounted at different positions along the extension portions to accommodate pets of various sizes.
3Ease of operation
If manual catching is required to place pets in the restraining device, then the device structure is simple, but it is risky and labor-intensive for both handlers and pets
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates guiding structures such as inclined planes and guiding grooves at the opening of the receiving space that guide the pet into the correct position automatically. The extension portions can also be positioned to create a funnel-like structure that directs the pet toward the receiving space, reducing the need for manual catching and handling.
