Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional golf-tee holders are often lost due to their similar weight to the tees and do not arrange tees in an accessible manner, leading to inconvenience during games.

Innovation Solution

A weighted golf-tee holder shaped like an animal figurine with a grid-patterned bag containing tee-receiving holes, featuring an eyelet for attachment, providing easy access and aesthetic appeal.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Weight of moving object

If a traditional golf-tee holder is used, then it can hold golf tees, but it is easily lost due to similar weight to the tees

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveweight of golf-tee holderVSAvoidlikelihood of being lost

Core Design Contradiction:

Weight of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the weight parameter of the golf-tee holder by adding weights to the base, increasing it from being similar to tee weight to being significantly heavier (at least 3 times the weight of the tees), thereby resolving the issue of the holder being easily lost

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies counterweight principle by adding weights to the base to create a stable, heavy holder that resists being moved or lost, counteracting the lightness problem of traditional holders

Inventive Principle:

Principle #8Anti-weight (Counterweight)

2Ease of operation

If a traditional golf-tee holder is used, then it can hold golf tees, but it does not arrange tees in an accessible manner

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaccessibility of golf teesVSAvoidarrangement structure

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the tee-holding area into multiple individual slots arranged in a grid pattern, allowing tees to be separated into distinct, easily accessible positions rather than being piled together

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a single-dimension pile or simple container to a two-dimensional grid arrangement of slots, providing better organization and accessibility by distributing tees across multiple spatial dimensions

Inventive Principle:

Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Reliability

If a weighted golf-tee holder is created, then it becomes stable and hard to lose, but it increases in weight making it harder to carry

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestability of holderVSAvoidportability of holder

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent concentrates weight in the base portion of the holder rather than distributing it uniformly, creating local density that provides stability while minimizing overall weight impact on portability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A golf-tee holding device is intended to provide users with a weighed and easy to carry golf-tee holder. Further, the device can hold multiple golf tees in and upright and easily accessible fashion. Furthermore, the weighed golf-tee holder is shaped like an animal carrying a bag, and the bag has a plurality of tee-receiving holes that are arranged in a grid pattern. The animal can be shaped as an eagle, an alligator, a tiger, or any other kind of animal. Additionally, the device has an eyelet attached to the animal-shaped structure, for attaching any fastener of choice that helps users to hang the device on various surfaces. Thus, the golf-tee holding device is a user-friendly, fun, and aesthetically appealing golf-tee holding device.
