Shotgun Shell Novelty Caddy with Magnetic Attachment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Regular shotgun shell novelties lack storage capabilities and attachment areas, preventing them from being securely held on magnetic metal surfaces or attached to items like caps, hats, or backpacks, and do not provide easy access to stored items.
Innovation Solution
A molded cylindrical storage container shotgun shell novelty caddy with a removable cap, built-in storage chamber, and attachment area, allowing it to be attached to various items and magnetically held surfaces, providing easy access to stored items.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If regular shotgun shell novelties are used, then the novelty design is simple and inexpensive, but they lack storage capabilities and attachment areas
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions into a single shotgun shell novelty object: a storage chamber for holding items, an attachment area with magnet for securing to surfaces, and the decorative novelty shell appearance. This merging of storage, attachment, and decorative functions resolves the contradiction by providing versatility without significantly increasing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The shotgun shell novelty is designed to serve multiple purposes: it acts as a decorative item, a storage container for small objects, and a magnetic attachment device for refrigerators or metal surfaces. This multi-functionality directly addresses the lack of adaptability in regular novelties while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If regular shotgun shell novelties are used, then the manufacturing cost is low, but they cannot be held on magnetic metal surfaces or attached to items
Solution Approach 1:
The magnetic attachment capability is integrated into the shotgun shell novelty by incorporating a magnet within the shell structure, allowing it to be held on magnetic metal surfaces like refrigerators. This combines the decorative novelty function with magnetic attachment functionality in a single manufacturable unit.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a magnet as an intermediary element within the shotgun shell structure that enables attachment to magnetic metal surfaces without requiring complex external mechanisms. The magnet serves as the mediating component that provides magnetic attachment capability while maintaining ease of manufacture.
3Ease of operation
If regular shotgun shell novelties are used, then the design is simple, but they do not provide easy access to stored items
Solution Approach 1:
The shotgun shell novelty is divided into functional segments: a removable or openable cap portion and a storage chamber body. This segmentation allows easy access to stored items by simply opening the cap while maintaining a simple overall container structure that does not significantly increase device complexity.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables convenient storage and easy access to items by allowing attachment to caps, hats, backpacks, and magnetic surfaces, such as refrigerators, and storage in pockets or purses, eliminating the need for users to search for items.
Implementation Method 1
The magnetically attractive surface to which the cylindrical storage container is encapsulated is that of a shotgun shell novelty caddy. The present invention can be placed and held on a magnetically metal surface, such as a refrigerator.
