Solution Overview

Problem

Existing false eyelash packaging solutions are inconvenient due to temporary fixation with metal or rubber nails and wasteful plastic blister boxes that are non-degradable and environmentally harmful.

Innovation Solution

A degradable case with a rotatable case body, expandable placement bracket, and adhesive tape for secure and easy retrieval of false eyelashes, made from biodegradable materials to minimize environmental impact.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If metal nails or small rubber nails are used to temporarily fix false eyelashes, then the false eyelashes can be stored in the case, but it is inconvenient for the operation of taking the false eyelashes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience of taking false eyelashesVSAvoidstructure of fixation mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the metal nails or small rubber nails from the fixation mechanism and replaces them with an adhesive tape system. The adhesive tape is embedded in the placement plate, allowing false eyelashes to be fixed without any mechanical fasteners, thereby simplifying the structure and improving ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The adhesive tape serves as an intermediary between the placement plate and the false eyelashes. Instead of directly attaching false eyelashes to the plate with nails, the adhesive tape mediates this connection, providing a smoother and more convenient removal process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Quantity of substance

If a blister box is used to shape the false eyelashes, then the false eyelashes can be packaged, but it has small number of packaging, wastes the space, and is made of plastic hard to be degraded, without environmental protection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepackaging densityVSAvoidenvironmental pollution from non-degradable plastic
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the material parameter from non-degradable plastic to degradable material. This parameter change maintains the packaging functionality while eliminating the environmental harm, allowing the packaging to degrade naturally after use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The packaging is divided into functional components: the case body, case cover, placement plate with adhesive tape, and false eyelashes. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, with the placement plate being removable and reusable, thereby reducing overall packaging waste.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of manufacture

If a simple structure with placement cardboard is used, then the case is easy to manufacture, but there is much unused internal space and the structure is simple

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidinternal space utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The placement plate is designed to be movable rather than fixed. It can be inserted into and removed from the case body, allowing the internal space to be utilized more efficiently. The dynamic nature of the placement plate enables better space utilization while maintaining ease of manufacture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The placement plate with adhesive tape can be nested within the case body when not in use. This nesting arrangement eliminates unused internal space while keeping the overall structure simple and easy to manufacture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

AI summary

A degradable case for packaging false eyelashes includes a case body, a case cover, an expandable placement bracket and a placement plate. One side of the case body is rotatably connected with the case cover through a spring hinge, and the expandable placement bracket is arranged in an internal cavity of the case body; the expandable placement bracket comprises inserting frames matched and slidably inserted with the placement plate; elastic reeds are arranged between every two inserting frames, and the placement plate is provided with an adhesive tape for bonding false eyelash bodies. In the present invention, the expandable placement bracket is arranged in the case body to fix the placement plate. After the case cover is opened, the expandable placement bracket is used for driving the placement plate to expand, so as to smoothly take the false eyelashes on the placement plate.
