Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple cosmetic products are connected together, then user convenience and utility are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The cosmetic assembly is divided into separate cosmetic products (first cosmetic product, second cosmetic product) that can be individually manufactured and then connected through the hinge unit. This segmentation allows each product to maintain its simple structure while the overall assembly provides multiple functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The hinge unit serves multiple functions: it connects different cosmetic products, allows angle adjustment between products, and enables compact folding for storage. This multi-functional component increases utility without proportionally increasing complexity.
2Ease of manufacture
If cosmetic products are connected with fixed structure, then manufacturing simplicity is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to inability to adjust angles
Solution Approach 1:
The hinge unit introduces dynamic movement capability between cosmetic products, allowing the angle between products to be adjusted during use. This dynamic feature enhances ease of operation while maintaining relatively simple manufacturing through standardized hinge mechanisms.
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 assembly allows for easy use and storage of multiple cosmetic products by enabling angle adjustment and compact folding, enhancing user convenience and utility.
Implementation Method 1
a hinge unit extending from a first lateral surface to a second lateral surface; and a leg unit being hinge-coupled to the hinge unit

AI summary
An embodiment of the present invention may provide a cosmetic assembly comprising: a hinge unit having a shape extending from a first side to a second side; and a leg unit hinge-coupled to the hinge unit and having a shape extending from one end connected to the hinge unit to the other end receiving a cosmetic product. The leg unit comprises: a first side leg unit hinge-coupled to the first side of the hinge unit; and a second side leg unit hinge-coupled to the second side of the hinge unit, wherein the angle formed between the first side leg unit and the second side leg unit depends on a rotation of the first side leg unit and the second side leg unit around the hinge unit.
