Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bottles lack an integrated securing system, requiring external devices that are costly and inefficient, especially for small volumes, and contribute to environmental waste due to disposable containers.
Innovation Solution
A container with integrated closure devices featuring threading and a sealing ring system, along with an elastic band for secure fastening to various surfaces, such as baby strollers or bicycle frames, and a design that prevents slipping.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If external securing devices are used to attach bottles, then bottles can be secured to surfaces, but additional cost and complexity are introduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the securing system directly into the bottle structure by combining the closure device with attachment features. The closure device includes integrated elements that allow direct attachment to surfaces without requiring separate external securing devices, thereby reducing system complexity while maintaining securing capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The closure device is designed to perform multiple functions: it seals the bottle opening and simultaneously provides attachment capability to various surfaces. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate securing devices, reducing both cost and complexity while improving reliability.
2Ease of operation
If disposable containers are used, then convenience is improved, but environmental waste increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent promotes reusable containers that can be refilled multiple times, allowing the container to be recovered and used again rather than discarded. This approach significantly reduces plastic waste while maintaining convenience through the integrated securing system that enables portable use.
3Volume of moving object
If small volume containers are used, then portability is improved, but plastic efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs a reusable container with integrated securing features that can be adapted to different volumes. The closure device with integrated attachment capability works effectively across various container sizes, allowing optimization of volume without compromising plastic efficiency, as the securing system remains functional regardless of container size.
4Reliability
If integrated closure devices are added to containers, then securing capability is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The closure device is designed to integrate sealing and attachment functions into a single component that can be manufactured as one piece or pre-assembled unit. This merging of functions reduces the number of separate parts and assembly steps, thereby improving securing capability while minimizing increases in manufacturing complexity.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
