Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for attaching extension eyelashes are inconvenient, time-consuming, and require professional assistance, with adhesive transfer issues affecting device performance.
Innovation Solution
A handheld attaching device with inner and outer grips that apply heat to adhesive-backed false eyelashes, allowing precise and rapid attachment to natural eyelashes, featuring a manipulating portion to operate the grips and ensure accurate adhesion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual eyelash extension procedure is performed, then aesthetic appearance is enhanced, but it requires large amount of time and professional assistance
Solution Approach 1:
The device enables users to perform eyelash extension procedures on themselves without requiring professional assistance. The self-contained design with integrated heating element and gripping mechanisms allows the user to independently attach extension eyelashes, eliminating the need for salon visits and professional technicians.
Solution Approach 2:
The device utilizes controlled temperature changes to activate and cure the adhesive rapidly. By applying heat through the heating element at specific temperatures, the adhesive transitions from a soft, workable state to a hardened, bonded state, enabling quick attachment of eyelashes within seconds rather than requiring prolonged manual manipulation.
2Reliability
If adhesive is applied to false eyelashes for continuous use, then attachment function is achieved, but adhesive transfers to the attaching device and hinders procedure
Solution Approach 1:
The device extracts and removes the transferred adhesive from the gripping surfaces through the heating element. The heat softens the adhesive that has transferred to the device, allowing it to be easily wiped or peeled off, thereby preventing accumulation and maintaining the gripping surfaces clean for subsequent use.
Solution Approach 2:
The adhesive transfer, which is initially harmful, is converted into a beneficial cleaning mechanism. The heat from the heating element not only cures the adhesive on the eyelashes but also softens transferred adhesive on the device surfaces, making it easy to remove. This transforms the harmful adhesive residue into an opportunity for simple maintenance.
3Manufacturing precision
If precision gripping is required for accurate attachment, then attachment precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The device employs nested gripping structures where an inner grip is contained within an outer grip. The inner grip provides precise positioning and holding of the eyelashes, while the outer grip offers additional support and houses the heating element. This nested arrangement achieves high precision without requiring multiple separate components, thereby controlling device complexity.

AI summary
Disclosed herein is an attaching device for extension eyelashes adapted to attach false eyelashes to natural eyelashes by overlapping the false eyelashes containing an adhesive with the natural eyelashes and applying heat to the adhesive. The device includes a body defining a space therein and shaped to be held by a hand. A support is formed on an end of the body to support the false eyelashes. An inner grip is shaped to surround the support, and grips the natural eyelashes and the false eyelashes. An outer grip is shaped to surround the inner grip, further grips the natural eyelashes and the false eyelashes that are gripped by the inner grip, and applies heat to the adhesive contained in the false eyelashes. A manipulating portion is slidably coupled to an exterior of the body and moved to sequentially operate the inner grip and the outer grip.
