Content Container With Flexible Skin Applicator And Controlled Discharge
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cosmetic containers with elastic application parts suffer from hygiene issues due to direct hand application, content loss, and inconvenience when using tools, and there is a need for improved application methods that provide a natural and efficient application experience.
Innovation Solution
A content container design featuring a discharge part with a lower and upper discharge hole, an application part made of an elastic material, and a support structure that allows the application part to bend laterally, combined with a cover part for sealing and a vertical coupling mechanism to ensure secure attachment and controlled discharge.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the application part is made of elastic material and supported by the discharge part, then the application part can bend laterally for natural application, but the application part may not be securely attached and may detach during use
Solution Approach 1:
The support portion is inserted into the retraction groove of the application part, creating a nested structure where the application part is positioned within the discharge part. This nesting provides secure attachment while allowing the elastic material to bend laterally for natural application.
Solution Approach 2:
The application part is made of elastic material that can flex and bend laterally, providing a natural application experience. The elastic properties allow the application part to conform to the skin while maintaining secure attachment through the support portion and retraction groove structure.
2Loss of substance
If the inner diameter of the discharge hole decreases toward the upper side, then excessive discharge is prevented, but the discharge flow may be restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The inner diameter of the discharge hole is designed to decrease gradually toward the upper side, creating a controlled gradient. This parameter change allows the discharge hole to prevent excessive discharge while maintaining sufficient flow rate for effective content delivery.
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 design provides a warm and natural application experience, prevents excessive discharge, enhances application ease, and ensures secure attachment of the application part, while maintaining hygiene and reducing content loss.
Implementation Method 1
an application part made of an elastic material, disposed at an upper end of the discharge part... the application part is supported by the discharge part and bends laterally, when the discharged content is applied by the application surface
