Portable toothbrush stand
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a portable and self-standing device that can efficiently store multiple toothbrushes, providing a convenient and organized solution for personal hygiene.
Innovation Solution
A tripod structure with multiple containment spaces is designed to hold individual toothbrushes, featuring a disk structure and semi-enclosed prism-shaped legs that form a self-standing mechanism, allowing each toothbrush to be stored and easily accessed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Weight of moving object
If a traditional toothbrush stand is used, then toothbrushes can be stored, but the stand requires a surface and is not portable
Solution Approach 1:
The stand transitions from a static surface-dependent structure to a dynamic self-supporting structure through the tripod configuration, allowing it to adapt to different surfaces and remain stable without requiring a fixed mounting location
Solution Approach 2:
The invention adds vertical dimension to the storage solution by elevating toothbrushes above the surface level using the tripod legs, transforming a two-dimensional surface placement into a three-dimensional self-standing structure
2Quantity of substance
If multiple toothbrushes are stored in a single container, then storage capacity increases, but accessibility and hygiene decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The single container is divided into multiple separate containment spaces, each accommodating an individual toothbrush. This segmentation allows for easy access to any toothbrush without disturbing others while maintaining organized storage capacity
3Volume of moving object
If a compact portable stand is designed, then portability improves, but the number of containment spaces may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The containment spaces are integrated within the tripod structure itself, with each leg containing a toothbrush vertically. This nesting approach maximizes storage capacity within the minimal volume of the tripod framework
