Removable Bag Holder for Hands-Free Stroller Waste Bags
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for carrying pet waste disposal bags with juvenile wheeled goods, such as strollers, lack convenience and hands-free accessibility.
Innovation Solution
A bag holder is removably coupled to a container, like a cup holder, on the juvenile wheeled good, allowing easy access and secure storage of waste disposal bags, which can be detached and reattached as needed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If pet waste bags are attached to the pet's leash or kept in the owner's pockets, then the bags can be carried, but convenience and hands-free accessibility are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The cup holder is designed to serve multiple functions: it can hold cups traditionally, and also accommodate a bag holder for pet waste bags. This multi-functionality allows the same structure to provide hands-free accessibility for bags without requiring additional dedicated carrier structures on the stroller frame.
Solution Approach 2:
The bag holder is designed to be easily removable and reattachable by the user without tools or complex mechanisms. The simple attachment design allows pet owners to quickly access, remove, refill, and reattach the bag holder themselves, providing self-service capability that enhances convenience.
2Ease of operation
If a dedicated bag carrier is integrated into the stroller frame, then hands-free accessibility is improved, but device complexity and manufacturing cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The cup holder structure is utilized for dual purposes: traditional cup holding and supporting a bag holder for waste bags. This eliminates the need to manufacture a separate dedicated bag carrier integrated into the stroller frame, reducing production complexity and cost while still providing hands-free accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The cup holder acts as an intermediary structure between the stroller frame and the bag holder. Instead of directly integrating the bag holder into the stroller frame (which would increase manufacturing complexity), the cup holder serves as a mediator that simplifies the attachment and reduces production costs.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the bag holder is permanently attached to the container, then structural stability is improved, but adaptability and ease of replacement are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment design transitions from a static permanent connection to a dynamic removable connection. The bag holder can be easily detached and reattached, allowing it to remain stable during use while enabling quick replacement when needed, thus adapting to different operational requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The cup holder and bag holder are designed with pre-configured attachment features that enable quick connect and disconnect actions. This preliminary design of simple attachment interfaces allows users to quickly remove and replace bag holders without complex assembly or disassembly procedures.

AI summary
This description is related to a juvenile wheeled good system, such as a stroller or wagon, and components thereof that provide improved capabilities for providing hands-free convenience to the user. The system includes a container, such as a drink holder, removably coupled to a bag holder that can be used to hold pet waste disposal bags while using the system. The bag holder can be removed from the container (e.g., cup holder) to insert the roll of waste disposal bags and then recoupled to the container to keep the bags secure while walking the stroller. The waste disposal bags may be used for pet waste or may be used for other waste, including diapers.
