Solution Overview

Problem

Babies often drop toys or spoons while playing or eating, leading to hygiene issues due to unsanitary retrieval and potential breakage, especially in outdoor settings where thorough cleaning is not possible.

Innovation Solution

A protection net attached to a purse or baby bib that catches dropped items, preventing them from touching the ground and ensuring hygiene by containing them within the net.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If mothers retrieve dropped toys or spoons from the ground, then babies can reuse the items, but hygiene issues arise due to unsanitary retrieval and potential contamination

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehygiene safetyVSAvoidcontamination risk
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The protection net is installed beforehand to prevent dropped items from touching the ground in the first place. This preliminary protective measure eliminates the need for retrieval and the associated hygiene risks, addressing the contradiction by preventing contamination before it can occur.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The protection net acts as an intermediary barrier between the dropped items and the ground. This mediator prevents direct contact between contaminated surfaces and the items, thereby maintaining hygiene safety without requiring mothers to retrieve potentially contaminated objects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If mothers clean dropped items roughly with tissues or cloths, then items can be reused quickly, but serious hygiene problems persist due to inadequate cleaning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveretrieval speedVSAvoidhygiene safety
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

By installing the protection net in advance, the system prevents items from becoming contaminated, eliminating the need for any cleaning action. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining both speed (no cleaning needed) and hygiene safety (items never touch ground).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The protection net extracts the harmful element (ground contamination) from the equation by preventing contact. Items are kept in a clean state through the net barrier, allowing immediate reuse without cleaning while maintaining hygiene standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Device complexity

If no protection net is attached to the bib, then the bib structure remains simple, but toys and spoons continue to drop on the ground causing hygiene and breakage issues

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebib structureVSAvoiddropping hazards
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The protection net is merged with the existing bib structure, combining two functional elements into one integrated product. This resolves the contradiction by adding protective functionality while maintaining the simplicity and familiarity of the original bib design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The protection net adds multiple functions to the bib: it continues to protect against drool and food while simultaneously preventing items from dropping to the ground. This multi-functionality addresses the contradiction by solving multiple problems without significantly increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

It is very common phenomenon that babies drop their toys or spoons down on the floor or ground while they playing with toys or eating food with spoons as sitting on the baby carriage or babies' chair.The present invention is a protection net on which a purse or bib is attached; which is designed to catch a toy or spoon when one-to-three-year-old baby drops his or her toy or spoors, down while he or she plays with a toy or eating food with a spoon as sitting on the babies' chair or babies' carriage.
