Eyewear Clip for Secure Clothing Attachment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
People often misplace or damage their eyeglasses when removing them, as they are either left behind, scratched, or fall due to improper storage or handling.
Innovation Solution
An eyewear clip is attached to the inner surface of the eyewear temple, allowing secure clipping to clothing or items using adhesive, preventing loss and damage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If eyeglasses are removed and stored in a pocket or hung on clothing, then convenience is improved, but the risk of loss and damage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the eyeglass temple with a clip mechanism to create an integrated storage solution. The clip is formed as part of the temple structure, allowing the eyeglasses to be securely attached to clothing or other surfaces while being removed from the face. This merging of functions eliminates the need for separate storage containers or methods, providing both convenience and security.
Solution Approach 2:
The clip acts as an intermediary element between the eyeglasses and the storage surface (clothing, pocket, etc.). It provides a mechanical connection that secures the eyeglasses in place, preventing loss and damage while allowing easy attachment and detachment. The clip mediates the interaction between the eyeglasses and various surfaces without requiring direct contact or specialized storage containers.
2Productivity
If eyeglasses are placed directly in a pocket, then storage speed is improved, but lens protection deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the harmful contact between the eyeglass lenses and the pocket surface by using the clip to attach the temples to the clothing. The lenses remain protected within the frame structure while the clip handles the attachment function, separating the lenses from direct contact with potentially abrasive surfaces in the pocket.
3Ease of operation
If eyeglasses are hung loosely on a shirt collar, then convenience is improved, but stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The clip is designed with flexible arms that can dynamically adjust to different clothing surfaces and thicknesses. The spring mechanism allows the clip to maintain secure attachment while accommodating movements and variations in the clothing material, providing both convenience and stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The clip is pre-positioned on the temple in a specific location that optimizes its gripping ability. This preliminary positioning ensures that when the eyeglasses are attached to clothing, the clip engages effectively with the fabric, providing immediate secure attachment without requiring adjustment or repositioning.
