Glasses Side Cover Chute and Operating Member Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing structures for assembling and disassembling protective glasses side covers from temples are cumbersome, leading to inconvenience in use.
Innovation Solution
A disassembly and assembly structure featuring a pivot portion on the temples with a chute and an operating member that includes a positioning block and a resisting portion, allowing the side cover to be easily fixed or detached by moving the operating member along the chute, utilizing a guide seat and plates for secure attachment and removal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the side cover is assembled or detached using screws and tools, then the side cover can be securely fixed to the temple, but the operation becomes cumbersome and inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the screw and tool components from the assembly process, replacing them with a simplified operating member that integrates the fixation function directly into the side cover structure. The operating member with positioning block engages with the chute to achieve secure fixation without external tools.
Solution Approach 2:
The side cover assembly structure is designed to be self-servicing, where the operating member itself performs the fixation and detachment functions. The positioning block on the operating member automatically engages with the chute's resisting portion to secure the side cover, eliminating the need for external tools or complex operations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the side cover is made detachable from the temple, then storage and adaptability are improved, but the assembly and disassembly process becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the side cover system into detachable components: the side cover body, the operating member with positioning block, and the temple with chute. This segmentation enables the side cover to be easily detached and reattached while maintaining secure fixation through the positioning block-chute engagement mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The assembly transitions from a static screw-fixed structure to a dynamic system where the operating member can move along the chute. The positioning block can engage with the resisting portion for secure fixation or be pressed to disengage for detachment, providing dynamic adaptability for both secure attachment and easy removal.
3Productivity
If an operating member is pressed to move the positioning block away from the resisting portion, then the side cover can be quickly detached, but requires sufficient pressing force
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by requiring only a localized pressing force on the operating member to disengage the positioning block from the resisting portion, rather than requiring force to undo entire screws or complex fastening mechanisms. This partial action enables quick detachment with minimal effort.
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
Enables quick and convenient assembly or disassembly of the side cover from the temple, improving usability by simplifying the operation process.
Implementation Method 1
the positioning block is embedded between the first end and the resisting portion according to elasticity of a material

AI summary
Provided is a disassembly and assembly structure of a glasses side cover, including a pair of glasses and at least one side cover. The glasses have a frame and two temples. At least one temple is provided with a chute with an opening adjacent to the pivot portion. The chute forms a first end and a second end along the length direction, and an end of the opening adjacent to the first end is provided with a resisting portion. The at least one side cover has a guide seat and a first plate arranged below the guide seat. The guide seat detachably straddles an outer edge of the opening, and is provided with an operating member received in the chute. The front end of the operating member is provided with a positioning block. When the operating member slides to the first end, the positioning block is embedded between the first end and the resisting portion to be fixed according to the elasticity of the material. When the operating member is pressed, the positioning block is detached from the fixation and slid to the second end such that the side cover can be detached from the temple.
