Bendable Artificial Eyelash Mounting Member for Custom Fit
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional artificial eyelash structures are difficult to attach comfortably due to fixed shapes that don't fit individual eyelid curvatures, have complex and time-consuming mounting procedures, and require expensive tools and labor, leading to low yield and comfort issues.
Innovation Solution
An artificial eyelash structure featuring a mounting member with a bonding portion and a bendable portion made from a thin film, allowing the bonding portion to be curved into a smoothly arched shape to fit the eyelid, facilitating easy attachment and mass production.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a fixed arched shape is used for artificial eyelashes, then manufacturing is simplified, but adaptability to different eyelid curvatures deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting member is divided into multiple portions: a bonding portion for adhering to the eyelid, a bendable portion for adjusting curvature, and an extension portion for supporting eyelashes. This segmentation allows the bonding portion to be customized for different eyelid shapes while maintaining simple manufacturing of the overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The bendable portion is designed to be flexible and adjustable, allowing users to modify the curvature of the mounting member to match their specific eyelid shape. This dynamic adjustment capability resolves the contradiction between fixed manufacturing and variable adaptability.
2Stability of the object's composition
If eyelashes are adhered into place in conventional structures, then structural stability is improved, but mounting complexity and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The bonding portion integrates multiple functions: it provides structural support, enables curvature adjustment, and serves as the adhesive interface with the eyelid. This merging of functions simplifies the mounting process while maintaining stability, eliminating the need for separate adherence steps.
3Manufacturing precision
If conventional fabrication methods are used, then structural precision is achieved, but productivity and cost-effectiveness deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting member is pre-formed with distinct portions (bonding, bendable, extension) during manufacturing, but the final curvature adaptation is performed preliminarily by the user before application. This preliminary structuring enables both precision manufacturing and rapid, tool-free assembly.

AI summary
An artificial eyelash structure (1) includes a mounting member (10) having a bonding portion (11) for adhering to an eyelid and a bendable portion (13) for enabling the bonding portion (11) to be curved into a smoothly arched shape when bending the bonding portion (11) upwards or downwards, and multiple eyelashes (20) (20A) connected with the mounting member (10). The artificial eyelash structure (1) is prepared by: forming a mounting member (10) from a thin film, and then processing the thin film of the mounting member (10) into a bonding portion (11) and a bendable portion (13) such that the bendable portion (13) enables the bonding portion (11) to be bent upwards or downwards, and then connecting eyelashes (20) (20A) with the mounting member (10). A method of using an artificial eyelash structure (1) includes the step of preparing an artificial eyelash structure (1) having a mounting member (10) and eyelashes (20) (20A) connected with the mounting member (10), the step of bending the mounting member (10) along the connection between the mounting member (10) and the eyelashes (20) (20A) to form a bonding portion (11); and the step of curving the bonding portion (11) into a smoothly arched shape and then using a glue or double-sided adhesive to adhere the bonding portion (11) to an eyelid.
