Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional lighting devices mounted on headwear, such as hats or headbands, require users to wear the accessory, limiting flexibility and convenience.

Innovation Solution

A lighting device designed to be attachable and detachable from glasses using an elastic combining clip system, allowing for easy mounting and demounting, with a rotating lighting part for adjustable illumination control.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If lighting devices are fixed to glasses, then the lighting function is provided, but the glasses become integral and cannot be detached

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovedetachabilityVSAvoidmounting stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting system is divided into separate components: mounting parts on the glasses and corresponding receiving parts on the lighting device. This segmentation allows the lighting device to be detached from the glasses while maintaining secure mounting when attached, resolving the contradiction between detachability and mounting stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting mechanism transitions from a fixed integral structure to a dynamic attachable/detachable system. The mounting parts and corresponding structures enable the lighting device to be easily attached and detached, providing both stability when mounted and versatility when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If lighting devices are mounted on headwear, then lighting is provided, but the user must wear the accessory continuously

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveconvenienceVSAvoidflexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The lighting device is separated from the glasses into independent components that can be easily attached and detached. This allows users to wear the glasses without the lighting device and attach it only when lighting is needed, enhancing both convenience and flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting mechanism is designed to be easily operated by the user without requiring tools or complex procedures. The simple attachable/detachable design enables users to independently mount and detach the lighting device based on their needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If mounting parts are spaced apart, then the lighting device can be mounted on glasses, but the mounting structure becomes complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting capabilityVSAvoidmounting structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple mounting parts are integrated into a unified mounting structure that maintains the necessary spacing for glasses mounting while simplifying the overall design. The combining clip integrates the mounting functionality into a cohesive structure, reducing complexity while preserving adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
