Universal Cuff Storage Case for Blood Pressure Monitor
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional cuff storage cases for electronic blood pressure monitors are not universal and can only be used with specific models, leading to a messy appearance when the devices are stored, as they lack a standardized design for efficient cuff storage.
Innovation Solution
A cuff storage case with a connecting element featuring a junction plate and fixed buckle, allowing for secure attachment to the monitor and easy cuff insertion, along with a funnel-shaped storage groove and rounded edges for universal compatibility and safety.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a cuff storage case is designed for a specific electronic blood pressure monitor model, then the fixation between the storage case and monitor is secure, but the adaptability to different monitor models is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The storage case is designed with a universal connecting element that can be attached to different electronic blood pressure monitor models through adhesive tapes. The connecting element includes a junction plate with notches and a fixed buckle that can accommodate various monitor shapes and sizes, allowing the same storage case design to work across multiple models while maintaining secure fixation through the adhesive attachment mechanism
2Adaptability or versatility
If a standardized cuff storage case design is implemented, then the adaptability to different monitor models is improved, but the fixation security may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
Adhesive tapes are pre-applied to the back of the connecting element before the storage case is assembled. This preliminary attachment ensures that when the connecting element is pressed against the monitor surface, immediate and secure fixation occurs. The adhesive is activated in advance, so the universal design does not compromise fixation security during or after attachment
3Stability of the object's composition
If the storage groove has a narrow opening, then the cuff organization is improved, but the ease of cuff insertion is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The storage groove features a funnel-shaped opening with a curved, tapered structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. This curved geometry allows the cuff to be easily inserted by guiding it through the wider opening, while the tapering shape naturally organizes and secures the rolled cuff in a compact, ordered manner at the narrower base of the funnel

AI summary
A method of cuff storage case for an electronic blood pressure monitor includes an electronic blood pressure monitor main part, cuff, and a cuff storage case. One end of the air tube connects to a side of the electronic blood pressure monitor main part, and the other end of the air tube connects to a cuff. When the electronic blood pressure monitor main part is not in use, the cuff can place inside the cuff storage case. The Cuff storage case connects to the electronic blood pressure monitor main part through the connecting element. The cuff storage case fixes on the electronic blood pressure monitor main part through the connecting element and will not restrict the models and shapes of the electronic blood pressure monitor. It can apply to most kinds of electronic blood pressure monitors.
