Glove-Shaped Hand Packing Instrument with Absorbent Layer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a skin care instrument capable of promoting healthy hand skin, particularly the back of the hand, as existing mask packs are designed for softer skin areas like the face and neck, leaving a gap in care for rougher hand skin.
Innovation Solution
A hand-packing instrument in mitten or glove form with an absorbent inner surface, allowing for the absorption and delivery of cosmetic materials and moisturizers, featuring a sealed design for enhanced skin care efficacy and user convenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If mask packs are designed for softer skin areas like face and neck, then skin care effectiveness is improved for those areas, but applicability to rougher hand skin deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by designing the hand packing instrument with specific structural features suited for hand skin characteristics. The instrument includes a thumb insertion part and four finger insertion parts, with the second insertion part divided into four separate insertion holes for individual fingers. This localized structural adaptation allows the packing instrument to conform to the specific anatomical features and skin texture of hands, providing effective skin care for this particular body area while maintaining the overall functionality of the device.
2Reliability
If a sealed design is used for the hand-packing instrument, then skin care efficacy is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the sealing function with the structural design of the hand-packing instrument by integrating the opening and closing member directly into the glove-shaped configuration. The sealed design is achieved through the natural enclosure of the glove structure itself, where the thumb and finger insertion parts form a closed environment that traps and delivers skin care materials to the hand skin, eliminating the need for separate complex sealing mechanisms while maintaining effective skin care delivery.
3Reliability
If absorbent material is integrated into the sheets, then moisture and nutrient delivery to hand skin is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies composite materials by integrating the absorbent layer with the vinyl sheets to create a multi-functional hand-packing instrument. The absorbent material is positioned between the inner and outer vinyl sheets, forming a composite structure that combines the protective and flexible properties of vinyl with the moisture-absorbing and nutrient-delivery capabilities of the absorbent layer. This composite construction enables effective skin care through integrated material functionality while maintaining a unified device structure that simplifies manufacturing compared to separate components.

AI summary
Disclosed is a hand-packing instrument in a mitten shape or a glove shape for caring for skin of the back of the hand. The hand-packing instrument has a mitten shape or a glove shape comprising two sheets overlapped and seamed at their edges, in which the two sheets make a mitten shape having an opening through which a hand can be inserted, a first insertion part for enclosing a thumb and a second insertion part for enclosing the four fingers other than the thumb, and an absorbent attached to the inner surface of one of the sheets.
