Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users need multiple eyeglasses to display support for various entities, logos, or messages, as existing decorative eyeglass solutions do not offer sufficient flexibility for customization and visibility of advertisements or statements.
Innovation Solution
An eyeglass frame attachment assembly with a base, platform, and detachable T-shaped wind guard, featuring arm grooves for secure temple arm fit, a center support strap, and a channel for interchangeable banner pieces, allowing for customizable designs and messages on eyeglasses.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users purchase multiple eyeglasses to display support for various entities and logos, then the visibility and retention of messages is improved, but the device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The eyeglasses are divided into modular components: a base frame and detachable decorative attachments. The attachments can be separated and reattached to different frames, allowing one set of base eyeglasses to display multiple different logos and messages by simply changing the attachment piece.
Solution Approach 2:
The base eyeglass frame is designed with universal attachment points (arm grooves and center support) that can accommodate various decorative attachments. This multi-functional design allows a single base frame to serve multiple purposes by displaying different attachments for different entities, events, or messages.
2Adaptability or versatility
If decorative attachments are added to eyeglasses to display logos and messages, then the adaptability and customization options are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment structure is segmented into distinct functional elements: temple arm attachments that fit into grooves on the frame arms, and a center support attachment that fits into a groove on the bridge. This segmentation allows for easy assembly and disassembly while maintaining structural integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
The decorative attachment pieces are designed to nest within or attach to the base frame structure. The attachments can be stored when not in use and quickly deployed by attaching to the predefined grooves, creating a compact and manageable system despite the variety of customization options.
3Ease of operation
If detachable attachments are used to display multiple messages, then the ease of operation and message changing is improved, but the reliability of attachment security may worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment mechanism extracts the decorative elements as separate, removable components from the main eyeglass structure. This allows users to easily remove and replace attachments to change messages or logos while the base frame remains intact and secure.
Solution Approach 2:
The temple arms of the attachments are designed with curved configurations that match the curvature of the eyeglass frame arms. This curved design provides natural mechanical retention, allowing the attachments to snap securely into place while maintaining ease of removal when needed.

AI summary
An eyeglass frame attachment assembly generally comprising a base, a platform and a T-shaped wind guard. The base in generally comprised of a right upper frame, a left upper frame and a center support. The right upper frame and the left upper frame each comprise at least two arm grooves wherein the eyeglass frame attachment assembly may be attached to the eyeglasses by passing the temple arm of the eyeglasses through one of the arm grooves. The center support strap can be affixed through a center hole for added support and stability to the platform. The platform comprises a channel, whereby the channel receives an interchangeable banner piece.
