Solution Overview

Problem

Current false eyelash packaging requires users to handle or touch the lashes during removal, which can damage them due to their delicacy.

Innovation Solution

A packaging system featuring a tray with adhesive tabs that secure false eyelashes from the bottom, allowing for removal without touching the lashes by pulling a non-adhesive member to release the adhesive side, keeping the lashes on the tray until application.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users remove false eyelashes by touching them directly, then the removal process is simple, but the eyelashes are damaged due to handling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of removalVSAvoiddamage to eyelashes
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces adhesive tabs as an intermediary mechanism between the packaging tray and the false eyelashes. The adhesive tabs attach to the bottom of the tray and secure the eyelashes without requiring direct user contact. Users pull the adhesive tabs to remove the eyelashes, eliminating harmful handling while maintaining ease of operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The packaging system is segmented into distinct functional components: the tray, the adhesive tabs, and the false eyelashes. This segmentation allows the adhesive tabs to serve as a separate removal mechanism that protects the eyelashes from direct handling while enabling easy extraction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Object-affected harmful factors

If adhesive tabs are used to secure eyelashes from the bottom, then handling is minimized, but the packaging structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehandling damageVSAvoidpackaging structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive tabs combine multiple functions into a single component: they attach to the tray bottom, secure the false eyelashes through the openings, and serve as the removal mechanism. This merging reduces overall packaging complexity while achieving protection from handling damage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The adhesive tabs perform multiple functions simultaneously: structural attachment to the tray, securing mechanism for the eyelashes, and user interaction element for removal. This multi-functionality simplifies the overall packaging design while protecting the delicate eyelashes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
