Brush Applicator for One-Touch Artificial Eyelash Attachment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing artificial eyelash extension systems are challenging to apply and require specialized adhesives and precise alignment, making them difficult for inexperienced users.
Innovation Solution
An applicator set with a brush portion and handle that temporarily supports eyelash filaments, allowing easy attachment of artificial eyelash clusters to natural lashes with minimal force in a one-touch manner, and a package design that combines the applicator with pre-applied adhesive eyelash clusters.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If traditional artificial eyelash extension systems are used, then adhesive strength is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to requiring specialized adhesives and precise alignment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the adhesive function and the applicator function into a single integrated device. The brush portion serves both as the application tool for the eyelash extension system and as the adhesive carrier, eliminating the need for separate adhesive bottles and applicators. This merging resolves the contradiction by maintaining strong adhesive bonding while dramatically simplifying the application process for inexperienced users.
Solution Approach 2:
The brush portion is designed to perform multiple functions: it applies the eyelash extension system to the natural lash, carries the adhesive, and provides structural support during application. This multi-functionality allows the device to maintain professional-grade adhesive application while becoming user-friendly enough for inexperienced users, resolving the contradiction between strength and ease of operation.
2Ease of operation
If do-it-yourself under-lash eyelash extension systems are used, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases due to requiring separate adhesive application
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the adhesive container, adhesive application mechanism, and eyelash extension applicator into a single integrated brush portion. This eliminates the need for users to separately handle adhesive bottles and applicators, reducing device complexity while maintaining ease of operation for do-it-yourself users.
Solution Approach 2:
The brush portion is designed to automatically pick up and apply the appropriate amount of adhesive to the eyelash extension system during the application process. The adhesive is contained within or on the brush portion, allowing the system to serve itself without requiring users to manually apply adhesive, thereby reducing perceived device complexity while maintaining ease of use.
3Strength
If conventional attachment methods are used, then adhesive strength is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to difficulty in precise attachment when holding only one side of filaments
Solution Approach 1:
The brush portion acts as an intermediary tool that holds the eyelash extension system securely during application. By providing a stable, controlled holding mechanism with multiple contact points on the filaments, the brush portion enables precise alignment and attachment to the natural lash while maintaining strong adhesive bonding, resolving the contradiction between attachment strength and ease of operation.
