Solution Overview

Problem

Existing storage containers and bags for product prizes cannot contain the prize after detachment from the product, as they have an open bottom for easy attachment, leading to a desire for proper storage or display.

Innovation Solution

A prize storage case with a detachable case portion and attachment portion, featuring a cover and base portion that can be detached together, allowing for secure storage and display of the prize after detachment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the storage container has an open bottom for easy attachment to the product, then the ease of operation is improved, but the ability to properly contain and store the prize after detachment is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of attachmentVSAvoidability to contain prize
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The storage container is divided into a case portion and a separate bottom portion. The case portion can be detached from the product while maintaining its structural integrity to properly contain the prize, resolving the contradiction between easy attachment and proper containment capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If the storage container is detached from the product, then the adaptability is improved, but the structural integrity for proper storage is worsened due to open bottom design

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovedetachabilityVSAvoidstructural integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The container is segmented into modular parts (case portion and bottom portion) connected by a connecting portion. This allows the case portion to be detached for adaptability while the connected bottom portion maintains structural integrity for proper prize storage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A connecting portion acts as an intermediary element between the case portion and bottom portion. This intermediary structure enables detachability while preserving the structural integrity needed for proper containment when assembled.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Shape

If the case portion is separated from the attachment portion, then the aesthetic appeal is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaesthetic appealVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The container is segmented into aesthetically pleasing separate portions (case and bottom) that can be visually appreciated when detached, while the connection mechanism maintains simplicity through the connecting portion design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
