Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If individuals carry multiple pairs of glasses to accommodate different vision needs and environmental conditions, then vision requirements are met, but convenience and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies multi-functionality by creating a single pair of glasses that can serve multiple purposes through interchangeable lens attachments. The base glasses frame can accommodate various lens types (reading lenses, sunglasses, protective eyewear) that can be attached and removed as needed, eliminating the need to carry separate pairs for different functions while maintaining versatility in meeting different vision requirements
2Ease of operation
If traditional reading glasses are used, then reading capability is provided, but UV protection and protection against external elements are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent provides multi-functionality by creating a base glasses frame that can accommodate both reading lenses and sunglasses/protective eyewear. Users can attach reading lenses for reading activities and attach sunglasses or protective eyewear for outdoor activities, ensuring both reading capability and UV protection are available without requiring separate pairs of glasses
3Ease of operation
If adhesive components are applied to eyewear to attach reading lenses, then reading capability is enhanced, but damage to the eyewear lenses may occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses an intermediary approach by introducing a specialized adhesive component that acts as a mediator between the reading lens and the eyewear lens. This adhesive is designed to provide secure attachment while minimizing damage to the underlying eyewear lenses, balancing the need for strong bonding with the need to preserve the integrity of the original eyewear
4Adaptability or versatility
If multiple pairs of glasses are carried to meet various vision needs, then all vision requirements are satisfied, but time and effort for transportation and storage increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent eliminates the need to carry multiple pairs of glasses by creating a single base frame that can accommodate various lens attachments for different vision needs. Users can attach reading lenses, sunglasses, or protective eyewear to the same frame as required, significantly reducing the time and effort needed for transportation and storage while still fulfilling all vision requirements
Applied Scientific Principles
