Solution Overview

Problem

Current textile products made using embroidery machines are too delicate and lack mechanical strength, aesthetic visual appeal, and special optical properties such as shine or light refraction, limiting their functionality and appearance.

Innovation Solution

A textile product made using embroidery machines with a base structure and ornamental elements of different materials, where the base structure is reinforced with polyamide and the ornamental elements provide optical effects, connected by knots at predetermined intervals to enhance strength and visual appeal.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Shape

If a loose knit structure is used to achieve desired visual features, then aesthetic appearance is improved, but mechanical strength deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual appearanceVSAvoidmechanical strength
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies composite materials by combining polyamide threads (providing mechanical strength) with viscose threads (providing aesthetic visual features). This composite structure allows the manufactured product to simultaneously achieve both a loose knit structure for desired visual appearance and sufficient mechanical strength to withstand stresses, resolving the contradiction between aesthetics and durability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by assigning different material properties to different functional regions: polyamide threads are used where mechanical strength is needed (base structure), while viscose threads are used where aesthetic properties are prioritized (ornamental elements). This localized material assignment allows each region to optimize its performance for its specific function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of manufacture

If known type of fibres are used, then manufacturing simplicity is maintained, but optical properties deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidoptical properties
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the material composition parameters - specifically incorporating viscose threads with different optical properties (shine, light refraction, reflection) into the knit structure. This allows the manufactured product to achieve special optical effects while maintaining compatibility with existing embroidery machine manufacturing processes, thus improving optical properties without sacrificing manufacturing simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Stability of the object's composition

If same type of fibres are used for base structure and ornamental elements, then material consistency is maintained, but aesthetic visual appeal deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvematerial consistencyVSAvoidaesthetic visual appearance
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by using different fibre types for different functional regions: polyamide for the base structure requiring consistency and strength, and viscose for ornamental elements requiring aesthetic properties. This localized differentiation allows each region to have optimized material properties for its specific function while maintaining overall structural integrity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies composite materials by combining polyamide and viscose threads in a single manufactured product. This composite approach allows the base structure and ornamental elements to have different material compositions, enabling the product to simultaneously achieve material consistency where needed and aesthetic visual appeal where needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

AI summary

A textile manufactured product made using embroidery machines comprises a base structure made of thread-like and/or ribbon-like elements which are made of at least one first material and also comprises at least one thread-like and/or ribbon-like ornamental element made of at least one second material which is different to the first material in terms of mechanical strength and reflection/refraction of the light; the thread-like and/or ribbon-like ornamental element is connected to said base structure by means of a plurality of knots which are positioned at predetermined intervals along the thread-like and/or ribbon-like elements made of the first material.
