Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional jersey display cases allow only one side of the jersey to be visible and do not facilitate easy removal or replacement of the jersey.

Innovation Solution

A transparent display case system with rotating hinges on a wall-mounted design, featuring transparent top and bottom hinges and panels, allowing either the front or back of the jersey to be displayed while enabling easy access and replacement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a framed display case is used to protect the jersey, then the jersey is protected, but only one side of the jersey can be displayed and the jersey cannot be easily removed or replaced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvejersey protectionVSAvoiddisplay flexibility

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The display case incorporates a rotating mechanism that allows the case to turn 180 degrees, dynamically changing which side of the jersey is displayed. This resolves the contradiction by making the display case adaptable between showing the front or back of the jersey while maintaining protection throughout the rotation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The display case is divided into separable components including a removable jersey holder and a rotating mechanism. This segmentation allows the jersey to be easily removed and replaced while the protective case structure remains intact, resolving the contradiction between protection and ease of replacement.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If a framed display case is used to protect the jersey, then the jersey is protected, but the jersey cannot be easily removed or replaced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvejersey protectionVSAvoidjersey removal and replacement

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The rotating mechanism provides dynamic access to the jersey by allowing the case to open and rotate, making removal and replacement operations simple and easy to perform while maintaining protection during normal display.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If a non-transparent display case is used, then the jersey is protected, but the visual impact of the case structure is significant

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvejersey protectionVSAvoidvisual clarity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The display case is constructed from transparent or clear acrylic material instead of opaque materials. This allows light to pass through the case structure, minimizing visual impact and making the case nearly invisible while still providing physical protection for the jersey.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #32Color changes
