Removable Storage Pouch With Connector And Light Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional pouches within bags are not readily accessible, making them inefficient for ease of use due to their loose placement and lack of convenient access.
Innovation Solution
A removable storage pouch assembly with a closeable opening and attachment points, combined with a connector assembly and a removable light assembly that forms an electrical circuit for illumination, allowing secure attachment and easy detachment from a surface while providing lighted access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the pouch is placed loosely within the bag, then the pouch can be easily removed and repositioned, but the pouch becomes difficult to locate and access
Solution Approach 1:
The connector assembly serves as an intermediary mechanism between the pouch and bag interior surface. It provides attachment points that enable the pouch to be securely mounted yet easily removed, solving the contradiction between removability and accessibility by mediating the connection state.
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment system transitions from a static loose placement to a dynamic state where the pouch can be attached/detached as needed. The connector assembly enables the pouch to switch between fixed (attached) and mobile (removed) states, optimizing accessibility when attached while maintaining removability when detached.
2Ease of operation
If the pouch is securely attached to the bag interior surface, then the pouch is easily accessible and locatable, but the pouch cannot be easily removed or repositioned
Solution Approach 1:
The connector assembly mediates the attachment relationship, providing a mechanism that secures the pouch when attached while enabling easy removal. The attachment points and connector design allow the pouch to be firmly held during use yet readily detached when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system is segmented into separate components: the pouch, the connector assembly, and the attachment points. This segmentation allows the pouch to be independently attached or detached from the bag interior surface, resolving the contradiction between secure attachment and easy removal.
3Ease of operation
If the pouch interior is illuminated, then the visibility and ease of locating items within the pouch is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The light assembly is merged with the pouch structure, with the light source positioned within the pouch interior and the power source integrated into the pouch body. This combining approach provides illumination functionality while minimizing additional complexity by integrating components rather than adding separate systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The pouch is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a storage container and as an illuminated workspace. The light assembly provides illumination for locating items, while the attachment system enables the pouch to be mounted or removed as needed, creating a versatile device that addresses multiple needs.

AI summary
A removable storage pouch includes a pouch having a closeable opening providing access to an inner volume and three pouch attachment points coupled to an exterior side of the pouch. The removable storage pouch also includes a connector assembly comprising three corresponding pouch attachment points and two surface attachment points. Further, the removable storage pouch includes a removable light assembly operatively coupled to an inner surface of the pouch within the inner volume. Two of the three pouch attachment points of the pouch and two of the corresponding attachment points of the connector assembly are coupled together to complete an electrical circuit. The removable light assembly operatively coupled to an inner surface of the pouch includes electrical connectivity and removably coupling the light assembly to the inner surface of the pouch in order to light a light source of the light assembly.
