Eyeglass Display Assembly for Stable Horizontal Frame Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display systems for eyewear often fail to maintain eyeglasses in a stable, aesthetically pleasing position, particularly preventing them from leaning or rotating, and are not adaptable to various sizes and shapes of frames.
Innovation Solution
A display assembly comprising a base with upwardly extending center bridge and flanges, a support member engaging with the flanges, and adjustable mounts, which allows eyewear to be securely positioned horizontally or vertically, accommodating different sizes and shapes by using ridges and a curved center post to prevent tilting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If existing display systems are used, then eyewear can be displayed, but the eyewear cannot be maintained in a stable position and tends to lean or rotate
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is divided into separate modular components: a base, a center bridge with flanges, and support members. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently - the base provides stable support with ridges to prevent rotation, while the center bridge with flanges provides adjustable support for different frame sizes. The modular nature also enables easy assembly and disassembly by simply connecting and disconnecting these segments.
Solution Approach 2:
The support members are designed to be adjustable and adaptable rather than fixed. The flanges on the center bridge can accommodate support members at different positions and angles, allowing the display system to dynamically adapt to various eyewear sizes and shapes while maintaining stable positioning. This dynamic adjustability prevents leaning and rotation while preserving ease of operation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If fixed display structures are used, then stability is improved, but adaptability to various frame sizes and shapes is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The center bridge is designed with multiple flanges that can accommodate different support members for various frame sizes and shapes. The base with its ridges provides universal support for different eyewear types. This universal design allows a single display structure to handle diverse eyewear while maintaining relatively simple construction, avoiding the need for multiple specialized fixtures.
Solution Approach 2:
The support members are designed to nest within or attach to the flanges on the center bridge, which itself attaches to the base. This nested arrangement allows the support members to be easily stored when not in use and simplifies the overall structure by integrating multiple functions into a compact hierarchy, reducing device complexity while maintaining adaptability.
3Manufacturing precision
If multiple support points are added to prevent leaning and rotation, then positioning accuracy is improved, but the number of components increases
Solution Approach 1:
The base integrates multiple functions into a single component: it provides the primary support surface, includes ridges to prevent rotation, and anchors the center bridge. The center bridge combines the support function with flanges that accommodate support members. This merging of functions into integrated components achieves precise positioning through multiple support points without proportionally increasing the number of separate components.
