Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional eyelash perming methods face challenges in effectively permeating the perm solution due to their structural limitations and reliance on glue or tape, resulting in poor treatment outcomes, especially for short or weak lashes, protruding eyeballs, or thick eyelids.

Innovation Solution

An eyelash perming method using a silicone eye patch with a reference line, an assemblable rod system comprising a vertical and horizontal rod, and aluminum foil patches to support and align lashes for improved perm solution penetration and retention, enhancing curl formation and longevity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional eyelash perming methods use glue or tape to hold lashes, then the structure is simple, but the perm solution penetration is poor and treatment effect is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetreatment effectVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The device is divided into multiple functional components: a support member with multiple support portions to hold different sections of eyelashes, a separate pressing member to apply pressure, and a perm solution application system. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function effectively, improving perm solution penetration and treatment effect while maintaining reasonable structural complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The support member acts as an intermediary structure between the eyelashes and the pressing member. It provides multiple support portions that hold the eyelashes in a spaced-apart position, allowing perm solution to penetrate effectively while maintaining the lashes in the desired curled position during the perming process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If conventional methods rely on natural drying of perm solution, then the process is simple, but the treatment takes too long without significant effect

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetreatment efficiencyVSAvoidtreatment time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The device pre-positions the eyelashes on the support member with multiple support portions before applying the perm solution. This preliminary arrangement ensures optimal spacing and positioning that maximizes perm solution penetration from the beginning, eliminating the need for prolonged natural drying time and significantly improving treatment efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The invention replaces the passive natural drying process with an active mechanical pressing system. The pressing member applies controlled pressure to the eyelashes while they are held in position by the support member, forcing perm solution penetration and accelerating the chemical reaction, thereby reducing treatment time while improving effectiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Reliability

If eyelashes are short, weak, or eyelids are thick, then conventional perming cannot form proper curls, but adding structural support increases device complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecurl formationVSAvoidsupport structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The support member features multiple support portions with different characteristics optimized for specific locations along the eyelash. Each support portion can be tailored to provide appropriate local support for short, weak lashes or thick eyelid areas, enabling effective curl formation without requiring a uniformly complex structure throughout the entire device

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The device introduces a vertical dimension by elevating the eyelashes off the eyelid surface using the support member with multiple support portions. This dimensional change creates space between the lashes and the eyelid, allowing perm solution to penetrate effectively even for lashes with thick eyelids, and enables proper curl formation for previously difficult-to-perm cases

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
