Purse Hanger Retainer Structure for Accessible and Secure Bag Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing purse and bag designs face challenges in easily retrieving items from their interior and lack protection when not in use, as they can be damaged, soiled, or stolen when placed on the floor.
Innovation Solution
A combination purse hanger and object retainer that uses a connecting element to hang from the bag's edge, allowing easy access to items and can be used to securely hang the bag from a surface when not in use, preventing damage and theft.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If the purse is made deep to store various items, then the storage capacity is improved, but the difficulty of retrieving objects increases
Solution Approach 1:
The purse interior is segmented into multiple compartments and sections. Objects are divided and placed in specific zones (e.g., keys in one compartment, wallet in another), making them easier to locate without rummaging through the entire deep purse.
Solution Approach 2:
Objects are pre-positioned in designated locations within the purse before use. Frequently accessed items are placed in easily reachable positions, so when retrieval is needed, the user can quickly access them without searching through the deep interior.
2Ease of operation
If the purse is placed on the floor for easy access, then the ease of operation is improved, but the risk of damage and theft increases
Solution Approach 1:
A secure placement mechanism or protective structure is introduced as an intermediary between the purse and the floor surface. This allows the purse to be positioned for easy access while preventing direct contact with the floor that could cause damage or make it vulnerable to theft.
Solution Approach 2:
A protective covering or film is placed between the purse and the floor surface. This thin protective layer prevents direct contact damage while allowing the purse to remain accessible and visible, reducing theft risk.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If the purse is placed under a chair for storage, then the protection from damage is improved, but the visibility and security against theft worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The purse storage position is moved from a hidden location (under the chair) to a visible location (on the chair back or nearby surface). This dimensional change in positioning maintains protection from floor damage while improving visibility and security against theft.

AI summary
An apparatus comprising first and second elements and a connecting element is provided. The first element comprises a first terminal member, an intermediate member having first and second ends, and a second terminal member having a closed form channel. The connecting element goes through the channel thereby engaging the first and second elements. An axis connects the first terminal member and the intermediate member first end permitting a closed position, in which the first terminal member adjoins the intermediate member, and an open position, in which the first terminal member is away from the intermediate member. Another axis connects the second terminal member and the intermediate member second end permitting a closed position, in which the second terminal member adjoins the intermediate member, and an open position, in which the second terminal member is away from the intermediate member. The second element retains an object.
