Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a complicated structure for elevating and lowering the stick material is implemented in a small-sized container, then the elevating function is achieved, but the manufacturing precision requirement increases and production cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The elevating mechanism is divided into separate modular components: a holder member with support part and gear shaft, a connector member with connector body and bridge, and a screw socket member. Each component can be manufactured independently with standard tolerances and then assembled, eliminating the need for complex precision machining of integrated structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The screw socket member is inserted into the connector space of the connector member, and the gear shaft extends through the restricting hole. This nested arrangement allows multiple functional elements to be compactly integrated without requiring complex external linkages, achieving the elevating function in a space-efficient manner with simple manufacturing.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a complicated structure for elevating and lowering the stick material is implemented in a small-sized container, then the elevating function is achieved, but the production cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the elevating mechanism into separate components (holder member, connector member, screw socket member), each part can be manufactured using standard, cost-effective processes rather than requiring expensive custom tooling for complex integrated structures. The modular design enables economies of scale in component production.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple functions are combined into single components: the connector member integrates the connector body, bridge, and securing ring; the holder member combines the support part and gear shaft. This reduction in total part count lowers assembly complexity and manufacturing costs while maintaining the elevating functionality.
3Length of moving object
If the stick type container is manufactured in a small size, then portability is maintained, but the assembly complexity of the elevating mechanism increases
Solution Approach 1:
The screw socket member nests within the connector space of the connector member, and the gear shaft passes through the restricting hole of the securing ring. This nested configuration allows the elevating mechanism to be compact while maintaining functional separation of components, reducing assembly complexity despite the small overall size.
Solution Approach 2:
The elevating mechanism is segmented into distinct components that can be assembled in a straightforward sequence: connector member first, then screw socket member inserted into connector space, and finally holder member with gear shaft positioned through the restricting hole. This modular segmentation simplifies assembly compared to integrated designs.

AI summary
An elevating mechanism for a stick type container is structured to allow simple assembly and therefore can be produced with lower manufacturing costs. The elevating mechanism may include: a holder member having a support part and a gear shaft, a connector member having a connector body, a bridge, and a securing ring; and a screw socket member. The screw socket member may be configured to have at least a portion inserted in the connector space, the screw socket member may have a hollow interior such that a screw space open at the top and bottom is formed on an inner side of the screw socket member, and the screw socket member may have an outwardly protruding detent protrusion formed on its upper portion.
