Solution Overview

Problem

Existing spray gun systems risk tipping over and becoming dirty or damaged due to the bulky compressed air hose when not in use, particularly during breaks in spraying or refilling, leading to potential contamination and damage.

Innovation Solution

A receiving device with depressions on the base device's housing to securely hold the spray gun and spray material receptacle, preventing tipping and providing a storage space for components when not in use, featuring a hinged cover for easy access and a fastening mechanism to secure the components.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the spray gun is placed on a surface during breaks, then the spray gun can be stored, but the bulky compressed air hose causes the spray gun to tip over and become dirty or damaged

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveStorage convenienceVSAvoidRisk of tipping over and damage
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The spray gun and spray material container are nested within the receiving device of the base device. The receiving device has a depression that accommodates the spray gun, and another depression for the spray material container, creating a nested storage structure that prevents tipping over while maintaining easy access during breaks in spraying

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The receiving device acts as an intermediary structure between the spray gun and the base device. It provides a stable platform with depressions that securely hold the spray gun and container, eliminating the instability caused by the bulky hose while maintaining operational accessibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
