Solution Overview

Problem

Existing jewelry, semi-jewelry, and costume jewelry solutions require ear piercings or single-point attachments, limiting versatility and compatibility with different ear shapes and sizes.

Innovation Solution

An auricular platform with a base structure and transverse rod that fits around the ear, allowing adjustable attachment points along its length to accommodate various ear shapes and sizes, enabling interchangeable jewelry and accessory placement without piercing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing jewelry solutions use ear piercings or single-point attachments, then the attachment structure is simple, but the versatility and adaptability to different ear shapes and sizes is limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveadaptability to different ear shapes and sizesVSAvoidattachment structure complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The transverse rod is divided into multiple attachment points along its length, allowing jewelry to be attached at various locations rather than at a single fixed point. This segmentation enables adaptation to different ear shapes and sizes while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The platform design serves multiple functions: it can attach to different parts of the ear (lobe, cartilage, helix), accommodate various jewelry types, and adapt to different ear anatomies. The transverse rod with multiple attachment points provides universal applicability across different users and styles.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If existing solutions use restricted single-model platforms, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the customization and interchangeability options are limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecustomization and interchangeability optionsVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The platform is designed with adjustable components that can be configured in different positions and angles to suit various ear shapes. The transverse rod can be positioned at different heights and angles, providing dynamic adaptability without requiring multiple custom-manufactured models.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The platform allows changes in attachment parameters such as position along the transverse rod, angle of attachment, and height adjustment. These parameter variations enable customization for different ear anatomies while using a standardized base platform that can be manufactured efficiently.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes
