This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,857,046.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent, 'Personal ornament container with cradle that pivots for object presentation upon opening', primarily focused on jewelry boxes. However, the core technology of the pivoting cradle has untapped potential for application in other industries. The new invention addresses the limitation of the original patent by expanding its scope to cater to diverse object presentation and storage needs.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new invention's novelty lies in its application of the pivoting cradle technology to diverse industries, introducing a new level of versatility and adaptability. The inventive step involves the recognition of the cradle's potential beyond personal ornament containers and its innovative application to address specific needs in various fields.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the invention could include modifications to the container's shape, size, and material, as well as variations in the cradle's design and functionality to accommodate specific object types and industries. Additionally, the system could be integrated with other technologies, such as sensors or display screens, to enhance the user experience.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The Multi-Industry Object Presentation and Storage System has significant commercial potential across various industries, including healthcare, art, collectibles, product design, and architecture. The system's adaptability and versatility make it an attractive solution for companies seeking to showcase and store diverse objects in an efficient and visually appealing manner.

Section 103 Obviousness Analysis (PHOSITA)

▼

Field of Art

Mechanical design and packaging systems, with expertise in container mechanisms for object presentation and storage across multiple industries

Person of Ordinary Skill (PHOSITA) Profile

A mechanical engineer with experience in product design, packaging systems, and mechanical interfaces, capable of adapting known mechanical principles across different application domains

Obviousness Rationale

A PHOSITA would recognize that the pivoting cradle mechanism disclosed in the source patent represents a fundamental design principle that can be readily adapted to different storage and presentation contexts. The core mechanical functionality of rotation, pivoting, and object containment is fundamentally transferable across various industries. The PTD demonstrates that the mechanical innovation is not limited to jewelry boxes but can be systematically applied to medical, artistic, collectible, prototype, and architectural domains with predictable and straightforward modifications.

Obvious Combinations & Variations

Source Patent Element

Rotatable shell with pivoting cradle mechanism having a central axis of rotation

PTD Variation

Applying the pivoting cradle mechanism to medical sample storage containers

Obviousness Reasoning

Transferring a known mechanical presentation system to a medical storage context represents a predictable variation using known design techniques, with no unexpected technical challenges

Source Patent Element

Cradle with compartment for holding objects

PTD Variation

Modifying cradle to include a slit in flexible material for alternative object retention

Obviousness Reasoning

A PHOSITA would recognize multiple equivalent methods of object containment as routine design modifications with predictable results

Source Patent Element

Mechanical rotation and pivoting system with central axis

PTD Variation

Extending mechanism to architectural model, collectible, and prototype storage contexts

Obviousness Reasoning

The fundamental mechanical principles are universally applicable across storage and presentation domains, representing an obvious design extension

Source Patent Element

Shell with aperture and rotational capabilities

PTD Variation

Integrating potential sensor or display technologies into container mechanism

Obviousness Reasoning

Augmenting mechanical systems with electronic interfaces represents a known and predictable design enhancement within the technical field

Source Patent Element
