Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a lack of products designed to securely and safely transport and store wigs, units, and hair pieces, which are delicate and costly, with users also seeking discretion in their use.
Innovation Solution
A handcrafted case lined with material, featuring a container device with a hinged lid, dividers for compartmentalization, and a liner material for protection, made from materials like wood or plastics, with optional locking clasps and a handle for secure carrying and storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If no specialized storage device is used, then the device complexity is low, but the wigs and hair pieces are not protected from dust and damage
Solution Approach 1:
The storage case is divided into multiple compartments using dividers, allowing separate storage of different wig types or accessories. This segmentation protects each item individually while maintaining an organized structure that prevents damage through proper spacing and support.
Solution Approach 2:
The dividers are designed to be removable and nestable within the case structure, allowing the storage device to be compact when not in use while providing expanded protected space when needed. This nesting principle reduces the overall footprint while maintaining full protective capability.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple wigs and hair pieces are stored together, then the storage capacity increases, but the risk of damage to individual items increases
Solution Approach 1:
The case includes multiple removable dividers that create separate compartments for different wig types, units, or accessories. This segmentation allows multiple items to be stored simultaneously while preventing them from contacting each other, thus avoiding damage while maximizing storage capacity.
Solution Approach 2:
Different compartments can be lined with different materials suited to specific item types (e.g., softer lining for delicate wigs, structured compartments for rigid units). This local customization of protection quality ensures each item receives appropriate protection while storing multiple diverse items together.
3Ease of operation
If the case includes multiple dividers and compartments, then the storage organization improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The dividers are designed to be removable and reconfigurable, allowing users to dynamically adjust the compartment layout based on what needs to be stored. This dynamic structure provides organized storage when needed while simplifying to a basic container when organization is not required, reducing effective complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The same case structure with removable dividers can accommodate various storage needs - storing multiple wigs, organizing wig accessories, or simply providing a protected container. This multi-functionality justifies the added complexity by providing versatile organizational capabilities across different use scenarios.

AI summary
A case to carry wigs, units, and hair pieces includes a container device. The container device has a length, a width, and a depth. The container device includes a hinged lid on an open top portion. The hinged lid rotates between a closed position and an option position, where the closed position seals the open top portion, and the option position provides access to the open top portion. At least one divider is on an inside of the container device. The at least one divider is configured to divide the inside of the case into compartments. Each compartment is configured to store at least one of the wigs, the units or the hair pieces. A liner material is on the inside of the container device. The liner material is configured to protect the wigs, the units, the hair pieces, and combinations thereof, stored in the inside of the container device.
