Pivoting Cushion Assembly for Secure Hands-Free Device Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing personal pleasure device support systems lack adjustability and discretion, failing to securely hold devices in fixed positions during use and often reveal their purpose, making them unsuitable for hands-free use and aesthetically unappealing.
Innovation Solution
A configurable cushion assembly with pivotable and joinable cushions, featuring docking port recesses and retention clips, allowing for precise positioning and secure holding of personal pleasure devices, while maintaining a discreet appearance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a support system for personal pleasure device is provided, then the device can be held in position, but the system lacks adjustability and cannot be configured to various positions
Solution Approach 1:
The cushion assembly is divided into multiple detachable cushion components that can be separately configured and assembled. Each cushion can be independently positioned and joined to others, enabling various configurations without requiring a complex integrated retention system.
Solution Approach 2:
The cushion assembly incorporates pivotable connections that allow dynamic reconfiguration between different positions and orientations. The cushions can be rotated and adjusted to create various angles and configurations to suit different user needs and activities.
2Reliability
If a retention system is used to hold the device, then the device can be secured, but it cannot retain the device in a fixed position during use
Solution Approach 1:
The cushion assembly is pre-configured with recesses and contours designed to naturally cradle and secure the personal pleasure device in place. The cushioning surfaces are shaped beforehand to provide stable retention without requiring additional active retention mechanisms during use.
3Reliability
If the apparatus is designed for functional use, then it can securely hold the device, but it reveals its purpose and lacks discreet appearance
Solution Approach 1:
The cushion assembly is designed to serve multiple functions: it provides secure device retention through its structural configuration while simultaneously functioning as a discreet, aesthetically pleasing cushion suitable for various settings. The same structure that secures the device also creates an innocuous appearance.
4Adaptability or versatility
If the cushion assembly is made configurable to various positions, then it accommodates different user needs, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The cushion assembly is divided into multiple detachable cushion components that can be separately configured and assembled. Each cushion can be independently positioned and joined to others, enabling various configurations without requiring a complex integrated retention system.
Solution Approach 2:
The cushion components are designed to nest together through joining mechanisms, allowing compact storage when not in use and easy assembly into different configurations. The nested structure simplifies the overall system while maintaining configurability.
