Toilet storage system and method of use
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional bathroom storage systems are often large and inefficient in space usage, occupying valuable bathroom space.
Innovation Solution
A bathroom storage system designed to securely attach to the toilet base with a contoured body that can slide or use fastening means, potentially incorporating shelves, to minimize space usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If conventional cabinets are used for bathroom storage, then storage capacity is provided, but valuable bathroom space is occupied
Solution Approach 1:
The storage system is merged with the toilet structure by attaching the storage container to the toilet base, combining two functions (toilet and storage) into a single integrated unit, thereby providing storage capacity without occupying additional bathroom floor space
Solution Approach 2:
The storage solution transitions from occupying horizontal bathroom floor space to utilizing vertical space above the toilet base, effectively moving the storage function to another dimensional plane where it does not interfere with bathroom circulation space
2Area of stationary object
If storage systems are designed to be compact to save space, then bathroom space occupation is reduced, but attachment security to toilet base may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment system is segmented into multiple independent fastening points distributed around the container base and toilet base, where each fastening point provides individual securing force, collectively ensuring reliable attachment while maintaining a compact overall structure
Solution Approach 2:
The fastening mechanism concentrates attachment force at specific localized points (fastening points) on the toilet base and container, providing strong secure attachment in these critical locations while keeping the rest of the structure compact and space-efficient
