Single-Piece Utility Pouch Design for Firearm
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing utility pouch designs, whether two-piece with rivets or screws or single-piece plastic designs, inefficiently use space due to the need for screws placed parallel to the object, complicating manufacturing and increasing space usage.
Innovation Solution
A single-piece utility pouch design that folds and attaches itself using circular holes and protrusions with apertures, allowing for simplified manufacturing and reduced space usage, with screws used to secure the pouch in the assembled position.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If a two-piece design with rivets or screws is used, then the pouch structure is stable, but the space consumption increases and manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges two separate pouch pieces into a single integrated piece, eliminating the need for separate components and reducing overall space requirements while maintaining structural stability through the unified design
2Reliability
If screws are placed parallel to the front and back of the object, then the pouch can be securely assembled, but the space consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from placing screws parallel to the front and back (one-dimensional arrangement) to positioning them on the same face of the pouch (two-dimensional arrangement), thereby securing the assembly while reducing space consumption
3Reliability
If a two-piece design with rivets or screws is used, then the pouch can be securely assembled, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
By combining two separate pieces into one integrated pouch piece, the patent reduces the number of assembly steps and components required, thereby simplifying manufacturing processes while maintaining secure assembly through the unified structure

AI summary
A utility pouch for housing an object. The utility pouch comprising a first side with two circular holes, a second side with two protrusions, a third side with two circular holes, a fourth side with two protrusions, wherein the length of the fourth side is equivalent to the length of the second side, a fifth side with two circular holes similarly aligned lengthwise as the two circular holes on the first side, wherein the length of the fifth side is the same as the length of the first side.
