Foldable Glasses with Overlapping Lenses and Temple Arm Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional sunglasses are inconvenient to carry when not in use, as they do not fold compactly and can cause discomfort when transitioning from bright outdoor to indoor environments due to light intensity changes.
Innovation Solution
A pair of glasses with a position adjusting portion that allows the lenses to overlap, temple arms that can be bent to form a wearable watch shape, and integrated display screens that turn on when the glasses are folded, enabling hands-free use and enhanced functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional sunglasses are designed with fixed non-folding structure, then they provide stable light shielding function, but they are inconvenient to carry when not in use
Solution Approach 1:
The sunglasses are divided into separable components: the lens assembly can be detached from the temple arms. The lens assembly includes a first lens and a second lens that can overlap, while the temple arms can be separated and stored independently, enabling compact carrying without complex folding mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
The first lens and second lens are designed to overlap and nest within each other when the sunglasses are not in use. The lens assembly can be inserted into or combined with the temple arms, creating a compact nested structure that is convenient to carry while maintaining structural simplicity
2Object-affected harmful factors
If sunglasses are worn in strong light, then they shield strong light effectively, but they cause discomfort when transitioning from bright outdoor to indoor environments due to light intensity changes
Solution Approach 1:
The sunglasses incorporate a dynamic adjustment mechanism where the lens assembly can be quickly removed or adjusted. This allows the user to dynamically adapt to changing light conditions by transitioning from wearing the sunglasses in bright outdoor environments to removing or adjusting them when entering indoor environments with different light intensity
Solution Approach 2:
The design allows users to prepare for light intensity transitions by having the lens assembly easily removable or adjustable before entering indoor environments. The temple arms can be positioned to hold the lenses ready for quick adjustment, enabling preliminary preparation for changing light conditions

AI summary
A pair of glasses is provided. The glasses include a first lens, a second lens, a first temple arm that is disposed close to the first lens, and a second temple arm that is disposed close to the second lens. The glasses further include a position adjusting portion that is mounted on the first lens and the second lens. The position adjusting portion is configured to adjust an overlapping area of the first lens and the second lens. The glasses further include a first display screen on a first temple arm. The first temple arm and the second temple arm may be bent in extension directions of the temple arms, so that a tail end of the first temple arm overlaps a tail end of the second temple arm.
