Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wig storage devices do not provide a solution for efficiently storing and transporting multiple wigs, as they lack a modular design that allows for vertical stacking and secure retention of wigs.

Innovation Solution

A storage device comprising a plurality of stackable boxes with attachable screens and dividers, allowing for secure storage and transportation of multiple wigs by forming a vertical stack and maintaining airflow through air holes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple separate wig storage boxes are used, then each wig can be stored individually, but transportation and storage efficiency is reduced due to lack of stacking capability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage efficiencyVSAvoidstructure simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The storage device is divided into multiple individual boxes, each capable of storing a single wig. These segmented boxes can be stacked vertically to form a complete storage unit, allowing efficient storage of multiple wigs while maintaining individual protection for each wig.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple boxes are designed to nest within each other vertically through stacking. Each box contains a screen that can be attached to the box interior, and the boxes themselves stack together to form a compact vertical structure that maximizes storage space utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Volume of moving object

If boxes are made stackable for vertical storage, then space utilization improves, but the structural complexity and attachment mechanisms increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespace utilizationVSAvoidattachment mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The boxes are designed with uniform stacking surfaces and consistent dimensional specifications, allowing them to be stacked vertically in an equipotential manner. This standardized design simplifies the attachment mechanism while maximizing vertical space utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #12Equipotentiality

3Reliability

If screens are attached to boxes for wig retention, then wig security improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewig retentionVSAvoidcomponent assembly
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The screen is integrated with the box structure through attachment mechanisms that combine the retention function with the box assembly. This merging of components simplifies the overall device complexity while ensuring secure wig retention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Quantity of substance

If dividers are inserted into boxes for multiple wig storage, then storage capacity per box increases, but the complexity of interior configuration increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of wigs per boxVSAvoidinterior configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The dividers are designed as removable and reconfigurable interior components that can be dynamically adjusted within the box. This dynamic configuration allows the box to adapt to different storage needs while maintaining simplicity in the base structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A wig storage assembly includes a plurality of boxes that is each structured to define an interior storage area to contain a wig. The plurality of boxes is stackable on top of each other having each of the plurality of boxes being removably attached together to facilitate a plurality of the wigs to be simultaneously transported. A plurality of screens is each releasably attachable to a respective one of the plurality of boxes to retain the wig in the interior storage area of the respective box. A plurality of dividers is each insertable into the interior storage area defined in a respective one of the plurality of boxes for dividing the interior storage area of the respective box. A lid is removably attachable to a topmost one of the plurality of boxes when the plurality of boxes is stacked for carrying the stack of plurality of boxes.
