Powder Storage Container with Nested Lid and Scoop
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing protein supplement containers pose risks of lid loss and contamination when used outdoors and lack convenience in measuring and storing a precise amount of the supplement.
Innovation Solution
A powder storage container with a threaded opening, a detachable scoop, and an attaching mechanism that securely holds the lid and scoop, allowing for accurate measurement and storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the lid is placed on the floor or ground during outdoor exercise, then the lid can be temporarily set down, but contamination and loss risk occur
Solution Approach 1:
The lid is nested within the container body when not in use. The container includes a lid receiving groove that allows the lid to be stored inside the container body, preventing loss and contamination while maintaining easy access when needed.
2Ease of operation
If a built-in scoop is provided in the container, then the scoop is always available for use, but the scoop cannot be properly stored and hygiene issues arise
Solution Approach 1:
The scoop is nested within the container when not in use. The container includes a scoop receiving groove that allows the scoop to be stored inside the container body, maintaining hygiene by preventing contact with external surfaces while ensuring availability for use.
Solution Approach 2:
The scoop is designed as a separate, detachable component rather than being permanently integrated into the container. This segmentation allows the scoop to be easily removed for use and properly stored in the designated groove when not needed, facilitating hygiene maintenance.
3Measurement precision
If the scoop is used to measure protein supplement, then a measured amount can be obtained, but precise measurement and convenient storage are difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The measuring mechanism is integrated into the scoop handle rather than requiring separate measuring tools. The handle includes a measuring scale that provides precise measurement readings, eliminating the need for separate measuring devices while maintaining ease of use.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a powder storage container formed by comprising: a storage part (10) in which a protein supplement is stored; an opening (20) which is open and connected to the top of the storage part and protrudes upward, and has a screw thread formed on the protruding outer circumferential surface thereof; a lid (30) for opening and closing the opening; a scoop (40) which is formed to be separate from the storage part (10) and is used when scooping the stored protein supplement; and an attaching part (50) which is formed between the upper end of the storage part (10) and the lower end of the opening (20) and enables the scoop (40) and the lid (30) to be attached thereto or detached therefrom and securely placed thereon, wherein the powder storage container of the present invention can improve the problems of uncleanliness in terms of hygiene and worry about loss, as the lid is not placed on the ground but securely placed on the exterior of the container, and the container has the significant effect of being more convenient to use, as an accurate amount by the spoonful can be scooped easily.
