Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing solutions for holding hand tools and accessories are inefficient, often leading to difficulty in access and misplacement, especially when hands are in use or required for balance.
Innovation Solution
A tool holder hand garment comprising a garment for wear on the hand and a cuff for the wrist, equipped with fasteners and pockets to securely attach various tools and accessories, allowing easy access and quick retrieval.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If tools are placed in pockets or on nearby surfaces, then tools can be stored, but tools are hard to reach and easily misplaced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent moves tool storage from traditional horizontal surfaces (pockets, nearby surfaces) to the vertical dimension by attaching tools to the hand garment. This dimensional shift allows tools to be carried on the body rather than placed on surfaces, making them immediately accessible and securely held through the garment's integrated holders and fasteners.
Solution Approach 2:
The hand garment acts as an intermediary between the user and tools. Instead of directly holding tools or placing them on surfaces, the garment provides intermediate storage points (pockets, holders, attachment points) that securely hold tools while keeping them accessible to the user's hand and视线.
2Ease of operation
If hands are used to hold tools, then tools are easily accessible, but hands cannot be used for balance or other tasks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the tool-holding function from the hand itself. By providing multiple discrete attachment points and holders distributed across the garment surface, tools are held separately from the hand, allowing the hand to remain free for balancing and other tasks while tools remain securely attached to the garment.
Solution Approach 2:
The hand garment serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides tool storage, maintains tool accessibility, and allows hand freedom for balancing. The garment becomes a multi-functional system that combines tool holder, wearable carrier, and hand accessory, enabling the user to perform multiple tasks without compromising any single function.
3Ease of operation
If tools are attached to the garment, then tools are easily accessible and secure, but the garment structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple tool-holding functions into a single integrated garment structure. Rather than using separate pockets, clips, and holders that would add complexity, the design combines these elements into unified attachment systems where fasteners and holders are integrated directly into the garment fabric and structure, simplifying the overall system while maintaining tool accessibility and security.
