Angle Adjustable Nose Pads for Eyewear
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional eyewear nose pads are not easily adjustable to conform to individual nose shapes, leading to discomfort and difficulty in maintaining stability due to deformation from external impacts or frequent use.
Innovation Solution
The design features angle-adjustable nose pads with detachable components, including pad arms with through holes and grooves, latching members, and stoppers, allowing for customizable fitting and easy replacement, along with a support member for enhanced comfort and durability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If metal support strip is used to secure nose pads, then strength and stability are improved, but ease of repair and adjustability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The nose pad assembly is segmented into separate components: nose pads, support members, and connection members that can be independently detached and replaced. This allows individual parts to be repaired or adjusted without replacing the entire assembly, resolving the contradiction between strength and ease of repair.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection between nose pads and the frame is made dynamic through detachable connection members with latching mechanisms. This allows the nose pads to be easily removed and reattached at different positions, providing adjustability while maintaining secure attachment when assembled, thus resolving the contradiction between strength and ease of repair.
2Stability of the object's composition
If metal support strip is used to secure nose pads, then stability is improved, but adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The latching mechanism enables dynamic adjustment of nose pad position and angle while maintaining stable attachment. Users can adjust the nose pads to different positions on the support members and secure them firmly, achieving both adaptability to different nose shapes and stability during use.
Solution Approach 2:
The support members are designed with multiple attachment positions and the connection members can accommodate different nose pad configurations. This universal design allows the same structure to adapt to various nose shapes and sizes while maintaining stable support, resolving the contradiction between stability and adaptability.
3Stability of the object's composition
If nose pads are integrally formed with lens frame, then deformation resistance is improved, but adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of integral formation, the nose pads are segmented as separate detachable components connected through support members and connection members. This segmentation allows the nose pads to be adjusted to different positions and angles to match various nose shapes, while the rigid support members provide deformation resistance.
Solution Approach 2:
The detachable connection mechanism provides dynamic adjustability, allowing nose pads to be positioned at different locations on the support members. This enables adaptation to different nose shapes while the rigid support structure maintains deformation resistance, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and deformation resistance.
4Ease of repair
If detachable nose pads are used, then ease of repair and adjustability are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The nose pad assembly is segmented into modular components (nose pads, support members, connection members) that can be easily separated and replaced. This modular design simplifies repair and adjustment procedures while the standardized connection interface minimizes the added complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The latching mechanism is designed to enable users to easily attach and detach nose pads without requiring specialized tools or professional service. This self-service capability improves ease of repair while the intuitive design keeps the operational complexity low despite the increased structural complexity.

AI summary
An eyewear having angle adjustable nose pads includes a main body and a pair of nose pads. The main body has a nose pad frame. The nose pad frame has two pad arms, corresponding to two sides of a nose bridge, extending therefrom. The two pad arms each has peripheral portions defining a through hole, and two oppositely arranged peripheral portions each have a plurality of grooves arranged thereon. The nose pads and the two pad arms are correspondingly coupled. The nose pads each includes a padding, a plurality of latching members extended from the padding, and two stoppers respectively arranged on outer sides of two latching members. The latching members of the nose pads pass through a side of a pad arm through a through hole and couple to the other side of the pad arm. The two stoppers of each nose pad correspondingly abut two grooves.
