Purse With Removable Phone Case Strap
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current purse and phone case designs require users to physically remove their phone from the purse to access notifications, calls, or messages, which is inconvenient, especially for individuals on the move or with occupied hands, and existing carrying options either occupy hand space, limit bag space, or result in tangled straps.
Innovation Solution
A carrying apparatus that attaches a cell phone or electronic device to a strap, allowing it to be carried alongside a bag or purse, with detachable chains for easy access and secure attachment, enabling hands-free use without occupying valuable bag space.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the cell phone is placed inside the purse, then the phone is protected and carried securely, but the user must physically remove the phone from the purse to access notifications, calls, or messages, which is inconvenient and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides the phone carrying system into two separate components: the purse and the phone case with strap. This segmentation allows the phone to be accessed independently without removing it from the purse, as the strap enables the phone to hang externally or be quickly retrieved while remaining attached to the purse structure.
2Ease of operation
If the cell phone is carried by hand, then the user has immediate access to the phone, but the user's hand is occupied and it is easier to drop the phone when not attached
Solution Approach 1:
The strap acts as an intermediary element between the user's hand and the phone. It provides a secure connection that allows the phone to be carried hands-free while maintaining easy accessibility. The strap mediates the connection, preventing the phone from being dropped while still allowing the user to grasp and use the phone when needed.
3Reliability
If the cell phone is placed inside the purse, then the phone is protected, but valuable bag space is occupied by the phone
Solution Approach 1:
The invention transitions the phone from a three-dimensional space occupation inside the purse to a two-dimensional attachment on the exterior of the purse via the strap. This dimensional change allows the phone to be carried alongside the purse rather than inside it, preserving the purse's internal volume for other items while maintaining phone protection and accessibility.
4Ease of operation
If both a purse with strap and a phone with strap are carried, then both items can be carried hands-free, but the straps often get tangled and make use of each less practical
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges the phone case and purse into a single integrated system where the phone case with strap is attached to the purse. This combination eliminates the need for separate phone straps and purse straps, reducing the total number of straps from two to one, and preventing tangling by consolidating the strap functions into a unified structure.
