Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional glasses have a fixed structure that cannot be adjusted to fit different face shapes, leading to discomfort and poor fit for individuals with unique facial features.

Innovation Solution

A pair of glasses with a telescopically adjustable nose bridge, comprising an elastic member and an adjusting member that allows for movement between the nose bridge frame and the mounting body, enabling adjustment to accommodate various face shapes through a rotating mechanism that changes the distance between the nose bridge and the mounting body.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed structure is used for the nose bridge, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the glasses cannot fit different face shapes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefit for different face shapesVSAvoidstructure of nose bridge
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The nose bridge is designed with a telescopic adjustment mechanism that allows it to change length dynamically. The adjustment member can be rotated to extend or retract the nose bridge, transforming it from a static component to a dynamic one that adapts to different face shapes and bridge widths.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The adjusting member is telescopically mounted on the mounting body, with the nose bridge frame sliding within the mounting body structure. This nested configuration allows the adjustment mechanism to be integrated within the existing glass frame structure without significantly increasing external complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Adaptability or versatility

If an adjustable nose bridge is added, then the glasses can accommodate various face shapes, but the structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustability for different face shapesVSAvoidmanufacturing process of nose bridge
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The nose bridge assembly is divided into separate components: the mounting body, the nose bridge frame, and the adjusting member. This segmentation allows each component to be manufactured independently using standard processes, then assembled together, maintaining ease of manufacture while enabling adjustability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The adjustment mechanism serves multiple functions: it adjusts the nose bridge length, provides a secure fit through the elastic member, and maintains structural integrity. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components, simplifying the overall manufacturing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of operation

If a telescopic mechanism is used for adjustment, then the fit can be customized, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomization of fitVSAvoidtelescopic adjustment mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The elastic member automatically maintains contact between the nose bridge frame and the adjusting member, and the rotating adjustment member self-locks at any position to maintain the adjusted length. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for additional locking devices or complex control systems, simplifying the overall structure while enabling easy customization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The adjustment mechanism changes the physical parameter of the nose bridge length through simple rotation of the adjusting member. This continuous parameter change allows for customized fit without requiring discrete size options or complex mechanical systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

An adjustable nose bridge includes a mounting body and a nose bridge frame. The nose bridge frame includes a main body, an elastic member, and an adjusting member. Two ends of the elastic member respectively resiliently abut the main body and the mounting body. The adjusting member is telescopically coupled to the mounting body and fixes a position of the main body.
