Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing heating devices for spray bottles are either not suitable for conventional bottles, lack size and shape adaptability, or fail to maintain warm water temperature over time, leading to an uncomfortable experience for clients during hair styling.
Innovation Solution
A heating device with a housing and electrically heated, controllable heating plates that allow direct placement of a spray bottle, featuring a dial for temperature adjustment and a secure magnetic base, ensuring consistent warmth and adaptability to various bottle sizes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If heating elements are integrated into conventional bottles or containers, then the heating function is built-in, but such devices are not suitable for use with conventional bottles or containers
Solution Approach 1:
The heating device is divided into separate functional components: a removable heating element, a control unit with dial, and a housing. This segmentation allows the heating mechanism to be detached and applied to different bottle types without modifying the bottles themselves, resolving the contradiction between integration and universality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary heating plate or base that sits between the heat source and the bottle. This mediator allows thermal transfer to various bottle shapes and sizes without requiring the heating elements to be integrated into each specific bottle, thus maintaining compatibility with conventional containers.
2Adaptability or versatility
If heating devices are removably securable to bottles or containers, then they can be detached, but such devices may not be the appropriate size or shape to fit a variety of bottles or containers
Solution Approach 1:
The heating device is designed with a universal base platform that can accommodate multiple bottle sizes and shapes. The housing and heating plate are configured to provide stable support for various container types, enabling one device to serve multiple functions across different bottle configurations while maintaining secure attachment.
3Temperature
If water in spray bottles is heated, then the water remains warm for client comfort, but the water cools over time without continuous heating
Solution Approach 1:
The heating device incorporates a control system with a dial that enables continuous or periodic heating operation. This allows the water to be maintained at the desired temperature throughout the styling process, preventing cooling over time by providing sustained thermal energy input rather than single-use heating.

AI summary
A heating device for use in warming the contents of spray bottles. The heating device includes a housing having at least one heating plate on the upper surface thereof. The heating plate includes an electrically operated heating element. The heating plate is controlled by the user via a dial that allows a user to select the temperature of the heating plate. The base of a spray bottle can be positioned directly on the surface of a heating plate so that heat from the heating plate is transferred to the spray bottle in order to warm the contents thereof. The spray bottle is preferably composed of a heat resistant material so that the spray bottle will not degrade or melt upon heating. The housing of the heating device may include one or more storage compartments therein for use in storing various items therein.
