Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a dual-sided adhesive layer assembly with removable liners is used, then ease of assembly and customization is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The adhesive layer assembly is segmented into multiple functional components: a core portion with first and second adhesive layers, and separate removable liner portions. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently while simplifying the overall assembly process. The first removable liner portion is configured for removal from the first adhesive layer, and the second removable liner portion is configured for removal from the second adhesive layer, enabling easy assembly and customization without requiring complex tools or procedures.
2Illumination intensity
If transparent material is used for the second substrate layer, then visual effect and transparency are improved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The removable liner portions serve as intermediaries that facilitate precise alignment during assembly. The first removable liner portion is configured for removal from the first adhesive layer prior to non-removable attachment of the first substrate layer, and the second removable liner portion is configured for removal from the second adhesive layer prior to removable attachment of the second substrate layer. These intermediaries ensure proper positioning and alignment of the transparent second substrate layer with the first substrate layer, maintaining manufacturing precision while achieving the desired transparent visual effect.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multi-substrate workpiece assembly is created, then adaptability and design customization are improved, but device complexity and assembly steps increase
Solution Approach 1:
The dual-sided adhesive layer assembly is prepared in advance with the first and second adhesive layers positioned on opposite sides of the core portion, and the removable liner portions pre-configured for removal. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need for complex assembly steps during final customization. The first substrate layer is non-removably-connected to the first adhesive layer, and the second substrate layer is removably-connected to the second adhesive layer, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly while maintaining design customization flexibility.
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
Enables the creation of unique design aesthetics in greeting cards and stationery by facilitating easy and reliable assembly of multi-substrate workpieces with transparent views and customizable features.
Implementation Method 1
a first adhesive layer connected to the first side of the carrier layer; and a second adhesive layer connected to the second side of the carrier layer. The first substrate layer is non-removably-connected to the first adhesive layer
Implementation Method 2
The second substrate layer is formed from a transparent material. The transparency of the second substrate layer configures the crafted multi-substrate workpiece assembly to viewable through the at least one passageway
