Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for cleaning eyelash extensions are inadequate and complex, leading to improper cleaning, which can result in itchiness, inflammation, and potential eye infections due to the buildup of natural oils and dead skin cells.
Innovation Solution
A convenient eyelash extension cleaning system comprising a container with a brush applicator wand and a cleanser blend of blue agave juice, hops extract, cotton extract, and optionally Indian cress extract, designed for easy application and removal of debris without damaging the lash glue or stripping natural oils.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If existing cleaning methods are used, then cleaning can be performed, but the process is complicated and inadequate for average consumers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the cleanser, brush applicator, and storage container into a single integrated system. The brush applicator is stored within the container with the cleanser, and the entire assembly can be removed as one unit for application. This merging eliminates the need for separate cleaning products, applicators, and storage solutions, making the system simple enough for average consumers while maintaining effective cleaning capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The container serves multiple functions: it stores the cleanser, holds the brush applicator, provides a cleaning surface, and acts as a portable application station. The brush applicator simultaneously serves as both the application tool and the means for distributing cleanser. This multi-functionality reduces the number of separate components needed, simplifying the overall system while maintaining comprehensive cleaning functionality.
2Reliability
If existing cleaning methods are used, then cleaning can be performed, but proper cleaning is not achieved leading to buildup of oils and skin cells
Solution Approach 1:
The brush applicator is pre-loaded with cleanser by storing it within the container holding the cleanser supply. When removed, the brush already has cleanser on it, ready for immediate application. This preliminary preparation ensures that the cleanser is properly applied without requiring the user to manually dispense or measure it, making the process easier while ensuring consistent, effective cleaning that prevents oil and skin cell buildup.
Solution Approach 2:
The system is designed to be self-explanatory and self-sufficient. The brush applicator automatically picks up cleanser from the container when inserted, and the container design guides proper application. The system performs the cleaning function reliably without requiring the user to understand complex procedures or take additional actions, making it both easy to use and reliably effective at preventing buildup.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If improper cleaning occurs, then convenience is maintained, but itchiness, inflammation, and eye infections can result
Solution Approach 1:
By combining the cleanser, applicator, and storage into one integrated system, the patent ensures that the cleaning process is both simple and effective. The system prevents harmful factors like eye infections by ensuring proper cleaning occurs without requiring complex procedures. The integration makes the system simple enough for average consumers to use correctly, thereby preventing itchiness, inflammation, and infections without adding unnecessary complexity.
4Ease of operation
If a integrated system is created, then ease of use is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
While the system is integrated for use, it is manufactured in segments that are assembled together. The container, brush applicator, and cleanser supply are produced separately as modular components that can be manufactured using standard processes, then assembled into the final integrated product. This segmentation allows each component to be manufactured independently with standard techniques, reducing overall manufacturing complexity while maintaining the convenience of the integrated system during use.
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 system effectively cleans and conditions eyelash extensions, preventing protein buildup, eliminating bacteria, and extending lash longevity while being safe for daily use without drying out the skin or compromising lash integrity.
Implementation Method 1
The eyelash extension cleanser comprises a blend of blue agave juice, hops extract, and cotton extract
Implementation Method 2
the brush applicator is moved to move the brush along the eyelash extensions, to thereby deposit the cleanser onto the eyelash extensions
Implementation Method 3
The base of the brush applicator wand is engageable with the open end of the container, such as by a threaded connection, to secure the brush applicator wand to the container for storage and transport
