Solution Overview

Problem

Users face inconvenience in classifying cosmetic products when storing them, as existing containers require reading labels on the surface, which is inefficient, especially with the increasing diversity of cosmetic products.

Innovation Solution

A cosmetic container with an identification means at the upper portion, featuring a support body with a pumping member and a button member, along with an identification part that displays colors to facilitate intuitive classification.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users read labels on the container surface to identify cosmetic contents, then identification is possible, but it is inconvenient and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of identificationVSAvoidtime for identification
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies color-coded identification rings or bands at the upper portion of the container body to represent different cosmetic contents. Each color corresponds to a specific type of cosmetic product, enabling users to quickly identify contents through visual color recognition rather than reading text labels, thus resolving the contradiction between ease of identification and time consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If diverse cosmetic products are produced, then product variety increases, but classification and identification becomes more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct varietyVSAvoidclassification complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a color-coding system where different colors on the identification ring represent different cosmetic categories. This allows the system to handle diverse product varieties through a simple, scalable visual classification method, avoiding the need for complex labeling or organizational structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

3Ease of operation

If identification means is provided at the upper portion of the container, then intuitive identification is enabled, but structural complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintuitive identificationVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent adds identification functionality only at the upper portion of the container body through a simple colored ring or band structure, rather than modifying the entire container. This localized approach provides intuitive identification while minimizing structural complexity and maintaining simplicity in the overall container design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
