Adhesive Jewelry Clasp Positioning Device for Neck Stability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Necklace clasps tend to rotate and shift position on the user's neck while being worn, often moving to the front, which is undesirable.
Innovation Solution
A jewelry clasp positioning device featuring a patch with an adhesive layer and fasteners that attach to the clasp, allowing it to be securely positioned on the user's skin, preventing rotation and maintaining the clasp at the desired location.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the necklace is worn around the user's neck, then the necklace can be hung and displayed, but the clasp can rotate and drift to the front of the neck
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides the clasp positioning function into separate components: a positioning device with adhesive backing that attaches to the necklace chain, and the clasp itself. This segmentation allows the positioning device to remain stationary on the neck while the clasp is prevented from rotating, solving the contradiction between wearability and position stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The positioning device is pre-positioned on the necklace chain before wearing, with adhesive already applied to the back. This preliminary action ensures that when the necklace is put on, the clasp is already constrained to the correct position at the rear of the neck, preventing rotation before it can occur.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the clasp is allowed to move freely on the necklace, then the necklace can adjust to user comfort, but the clasp may drift to an undesirable location
Solution Approach 1:
The invention applies local quality by providing adhesive positioning points at specific locations on the necklace chain. These localized adhesive areas constrain the clasp to specific positions while allowing the rest of the necklace to remain flexible and adjustable for user comfort, thus maintaining both adaptability and position reliability.
3Stability of the object's composition
If a device is added to maintain clasp position, then clasp position stability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning device uses a simple adhesive backing that can be easily applied and removed. The adhesive nature allows for simple, low-cost construction without complex mechanical components, achieving position stability while minimizing device complexity. The adhesive can be replaced or reapplied as needed.

AI summary
The present invention is directed to a jewelry clasp positioning device. The jewelry clasp positioning device is a patch including a first face and a second face. The first face has an area and an adhesive layer. A first fastener is attached to the patch. A second fastener is attached to the patch. The device can be used by selecting a color of the jewelry clasp positioning device. Next, a user attaches a first and second fastening component of a piece of jewelry to the first and second fastener of the device and removes an adhesive cover. Next, the user aligns the first face of the jewelry clasp positioning device with a user's neck. Lastly, the user places the first face of the jewelry clasp positioning device against their neck.
