Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional suit jackets and blazers are bulky, lack breathability, and require extensive maintenance due to absorbent materials, making them impractical for warmer environments and difficult to clean.

Innovation Solution

A lightweight and breathable apparatus material with a three-dimensional structure formed from synthetic fibers, allowing air and liquid flow, used as a lining or padding, constructed from layers of synthetic materials like polyester and nylon, enabling machine washability and moisture wicking capabilities.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If traditional absorbent materials (canvas, cotton, felt, foam) are used for jacket lining and padding, then structure and stability are provided, but maintenance requirements increase and drying time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure and stabilityVSAvoidmaintenance requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the material parameters from traditional absorbent materials (canvas, cotton, felt, foam) to synthetic materials with low water absorption properties. This parameter change maintains the structural stability function while dramatically reducing maintenance requirements and drying time, enabling machine washability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention uses composite materials combining synthetic fibers and materials with specific properties (water resistance, breathability) to create a multi-functional lining and padding system. This composite approach achieves both structural stability and ease of maintenance simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Stability of the object's composition

If traditional absorbent materials are used for jacket lining and padding, then structure and stability are provided, but the jacket becomes bulky and lacks breathability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure and stabilityVSAvoidbreathability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the physical parameters of the lining and padding materials from dense, absorbent traditional materials to synthetic materials with optimized density, porosity, and thermal properties. This enables breathability while maintaining structural stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention employs porous synthetic materials that provide structural support while allowing air circulation. The porous structure enables breathability and heat dissipation, solving the problem of traditional materials being bulky and non-breathable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #31Porous materials

3Quantity of substance

If traditional materials are used that fill with water during washing, then complete coverage is achieved, but drying time becomes excessive requiring dry-cleaning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvematerial coverageVSAvoiddrying time
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent fundamentally changes the water absorption parameter of the materials from high (traditional) to low (synthetic). This enables the jacket to be machine-washable with reasonable drying times while maintaining adequate material coverage and protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention adopts synthetic materials that are easier to clean and maintain compared to traditional materials. These materials can withstand machine washing and drying, effectively replacing the need for professional dry-cleaning services.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)
