Bangle Makeup Kit with Nested Annular Members
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current makeup kit cases are cumbersome and difficult to carry due to their large and heavy design, and they often lack easy access to the makeup components.
Innovation Solution
A bangle and makeup kit combination assembly featuring a multilayer configuration of annular members with an ornamental cover, a middle makeup retention member with slots and collars, and an inner annular member, secured by edge locking mechanisms that allow for easy assembly and disassembly, enabling convenient carrying and access to the makeup components.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If makeup kit cases are designed to store multiple makeup components, then the storage capacity is improved, but the size and weight increase making them difficult to carry
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies nesting by placing multiple annular members inside each other in a concentric arrangement. The innermost annular member contains makeup components, which are then enclosed by successive outer annular members, forming a compact nested structure that reduces overall size and weight while maintaining storage capacity.
Solution Approach 2:
The makeup kit is divided into multiple detachable annular members that can be separated from each other. Each annular member can be independently removed or accessed, allowing users to carry only the necessary components while maintaining the option for full storage capacity when all members are assembled.
2Stability of the object's composition
If makeup components are positioned in divided containers, then the organization is improved, but the accessibility and ease of disposal are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The divided container structure is segmented into multiple detachable annular members. Each member can be independently removed from the assembly, allowing users to access specific makeup components stored in particular annular members without needing to open or manipulate the entire container structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The annular members are designed with dynamic characteristics, allowing them to be easily inserted and removed from the assembly. The members can be detached and reattached, providing flexible access to stored components while maintaining organizational structure when assembled.
3Weight of moving object
If a bangle design is used to reduce size, then the portability is improved, but the structural complexity and assembly difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The bangle structure utilizes nested annular members that fit concentrically within each other. This nested configuration reduces the overall footprint and weight while maintaining a relatively simple assembly process where members are sequentially placed one inside another, minimizing assembly complexity despite the multi-component design.

AI summary
A bangle and makeup kit combination assembly and method of operation provide a personal adornment, such as an annular-shaped bangle, that discretely stores and efficiently dispenses individual components of a makeup kit. The assembly comprises a makeup kit comprising multiple makeup components, such as eye and brow liners, trays, mirrors, and a makeup applicator. The assembly further comprises a bangle having an outer ornamental cover that is defined by a decorative surface. The bangle further comprises an outer annular member, a middle makeup retention member having slots that correspond with makeup components, and an inner annular layer. The bangle also includes an edge locking mechanism that secures the annular members and makeup kit components into the ornamental bangle configuration until disassembly for access to the makeup kit is desired. In this manner, the bangle can be worn as an ornament, and then disassembled to access the makeup kit contained therein.
