Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing underwear lacks sufficient support and binding force for specific areas, often relying on accessories like steel rings and rubber bands that can cause skin discomfort and deformity upon wear and washing.
Innovation Solution
A high-elastic, lightweight underwear design featuring elastomeric strips between inner and outer layers, including boundary, partial support, and partial compression strips made from materials like honey gel or silica gel, integrated through a production process involving printing, pressing, and stitching.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If traditional accessories like steel rings and rubber bands are used to provide support and binding force, then the support and binding force are improved, but the skin comfort deteriorates due to squeezing and deformation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical accessories (steel rings, rubber bands) with elastomeric strips that have elastic properties. These strips are integrated into the underwear structure and provide support through their inherent elasticity rather than through rigid mechanical components, thereby eliminating skin squeezing while maintaining support functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the physical parameters of the support elements by using materials with specific elastic moduli and stretch ratios. The elastomeric strips are designed with controlled elasticity parameters that allow them to provide binding force while adapting to body contours, preventing the harmful squeezing effect of traditional rigid accessories
2Strength
If traditional accessories like steel rings and rubber bands are used to provide support and binding force, then the support and binding force are improved, but the durability deteriorates due to deformation after washing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent substitutes rigid mechanical accessories with elastomeric materials that inherently resist deformation. The elastic strips are designed to maintain their structural integrity and elastic properties through washing cycles, providing consistent support and binding force without the deformation issues associated with traditional mechanical components
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs composite material construction where elastomeric strips are integrated with the underwear fabric layers. This composite structure combines the flexibility and elasticity of elastomeric materials with the durability and washability of textile materials, creating a support system that resists deformation through repeated washing
3Strength
If structural cutting and stitching with multiple accessories are used to provide support, then the support function is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the support function directly into the underwear structure by integrating elastomeric strips between the inner and outer layers. This consolidation eliminates the need for separate mechanical accessories and complex stitching patterns, simplifying the overall structure while maintaining support functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The elastomeric strips serve multiple functions simultaneously: they provide support, binding force, and structural integration. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional specialized components and complex structural arrangements, thereby simplifying the overall device complexity
