Wig Storage Form Inside a Rectangular Box to Preserve Curl
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wig and hair piece storage solutions fail to preserve the style and one directional curl of wigs and hair pieces, leading to loss of style and curl during storage and transport.
Innovation Solution
A compact rectangular enclosure with a hinged front wall and a form designed to hold wigs or hair pieces, featuring a body with an oval cross-section and a hemi-ovoid shape, which maintains the original style and curl through the use of a U-shaped retainer and a hair net, allowing for efficient transport, storage, and display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If wigs are stored in conventional boxes without specialized support structures, then storage simplicity is maintained, but the style and curl of the wigs are lost during transport and storage
Solution Approach 1:
A form or support structure is introduced as an intermediary element between the wig and the box. This form maintains the wig's style and curl by providing proper support during storage and transport, while the box itself remains a simple rectangular enclosure. The form acts as the mediator that prevents direct contact between the wig and potentially damaging surfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The solution divides the storage system into two separate components: a simple rectangular box for containment and a specialized form for style preservation. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function optimally - the box provides compact storage while the form maintains the wig's shape and curl pattern.
2Volume of moving object
If a rectangular box design is used for wig storage, then compact storage and efficient transport are achieved, but the original style and one directional curl of wigs cannot be preserved
Solution Approach 1:
The form is nested within the rectangular box, with the wig placed on the form which in turn fits inside the box. This nested arrangement allows the sophisticated form structure to be contained within a simple rectangular exterior, achieving both compact storage and style preservation. The form's complex geometry is hidden inside the straightforward box design.
3Ease of operation
If existing wig box designs are used, then basic storage functionality is provided, but loss of style and curl occurs during storage and display
Solution Approach 1:
The form serves as an intermediary that maintains the wig's appearance while allowing easy insertion and removal. The wig can be simply placed on the form, which provides automatic support and style maintenance, making the operation as convenient as conventional boxes while solving the preservation problem.

AI summary
An exemplary embodiment providing one or more improvements includes wig or hair piece boxes for both the efficient storage and display of wigs or hair pieces before sell, as well as providing simple, efficient and effective storage facilities for wigs or hair pieces for use of the consumer. The wig or hair piece boxes include a form which holds the wig or hair piece and preserves the curl, style, and one directional curl of the hair tip end on the wig or hair piece. This avoids the common problem of loss of original curl and style of the wig or hair piece which plagues conventional wig and hair piece boxes.
