Cosmetic Container Perforated Outer Shell and Protruding Inner Patterns
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Cosmetic containers lack an aesthetic appeal that matches the fashionable demands of customers, particularly in the design and visual effects of their outer appearance.
Innovation Solution
A cosmetic container design featuring an outer shell with perforated holes and an inner shell with protruding patterns that engage through these holes, allowing for a visually appealing and customizable appearance through different materials and patterns, and the option to bond the bottle to the inner or outer shell for securement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If a traditional solid cosmetic container structure is used, then the manufacturing is simple, but the aesthetic appeal and visual effects are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The cosmetic container is divided into multiple segments: an outer shell with perforated holes, an inner shell with protruding patterns, and a cosmetic bottle. This segmentation allows each component to contribute to the overall aesthetic appearance while maintaining manufacturing feasibility. The outer shell provides a base structure with visual interest through perforations, the inner shell adds texture and pattern visibility, and the bottle contains the cosmetic product.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a nested structure where the inner shell is inserted into the outer shell, and the cosmetic bottle is inserted into the inner shell. This nesting arrangement creates multiple layers of visual complexity without significantly increasing manufacturing difficulty. The perforated holes in the outer shell and protruding patterns on the inner shell work together to create depth and texture when viewed through the nested configuration.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the inner shell is made rigid for structural stability, then the engagement with outer shell is secure, but the insertion and assembly become difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The inner shell is designed with dynamic properties, specifically flexibility, allowing it to deform during assembly and then maintain a stable engaged state. The resilient section enables the inner shell to compress during insertion into the outer shell and then expand to engage the protruding patterns with the perforated holes, providing both easy assembly and stable composition.
3Shape
If the protruding patterns are made prominent for aesthetic effect, then the visual appeal increases, but the risk of user injury increases
Solution Approach 1:
The perforated holes in the outer shell serve as an intermediary element between the protruding patterns on the inner shell and the external environment. This intermediary structure allows the protruding patterns to maintain their aesthetic prominence while being filtered and softened through the perforations, reducing the direct exposure of sharp edges to users and thereby mitigating injury risk.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The design enhances the aesthetic and texturing effects of the container, improving its quality and value while allowing for customization to match various outfits and accessories, providing a comfortable and injury-free user experience.
Implementation Method 1
the body of the inner shell is expanded by the bottle such that the protruding patterns of the inner shell engage with the perforated holes
Implementation Method 2
the bottle is bonded to the body of the inner shell by ultrasonic welding
