Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional eye black products require vigorous washing to remove and are applied directly to the skin, making them inconvenient for users seeking a quick and easy solution to reduce sun glare.

Innovation Solution

Design of eyeglass assemblies with a glare reducing portion extending below the lens assembly, which can be easily applied and removed, providing a sun glare reduction without skin contact.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If eye black is applied directly to the skin to reduce sun glare, then glare reduction is achieved, but removal requires vigorous washing and is inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesun glareVSAvoidease of removal

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary device (eyeglass assembly with glare reducing portion) that positions the glare reduction function away from the skin, eliminating direct contact and the associated removal difficulties while still achieving the glare reduction benefit

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If eye black is applied directly to the skin to reduce sun glare, then glare reduction is achieved, but the product requires vigorous washing to remove

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesun glareVSAvoidskin residue

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The eyeglass assembly serves as an intermediary that performs the glare reduction function without requiring application to or removal from the skin, thus eliminating residue concerns entirely

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Object-affected harmful factors

If conventional eye black products are used, then sun glare reduction is provided, but application and removal are time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesun glareVSAvoidtime to apply and remove

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By using an eyeglass assembly as an intermediary device, the patent eliminates the time-consuming application and removal processes associated with traditional eye black, as the glare reducing portion is simply worn as part of the glasses and removed with them

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

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 eyeglass assemblies effectively reduce sun glare and are easily removable, offering a convenient alternative to traditional eye black products by positioning the glare reducing feature below the user's vision level.

AI summary

An eyeglass assembly includes a frame and a lens assembly attached to the frame. The lens assembly includes a body, a connecting portion extending below the body, and a glare reducing portion extending below the connecting portion. When the eyeglass assembly is worn by a wearer, the glare reducing portion is located below a vision level of the wearer.
