Goggle Lens Latch Assembly for Secure Sealing and Face Comfort
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing sport goggles and glasses suffer from discomfort due to seals and gaskets that contact the user's face, affecting user comfort and performance.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of protrusions and engagement pockets in the goggle lens and frame, along with latches, ensures secure coupling and sealing, enhancing user comfort and manufacturability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If seals and gaskets are used to conform to the user's face, then the goggle provides protection and sealing, but user comfort deteriorates due to pressure and discomfort on the face
Solution Approach 1:
The goggle frame is divided into multiple segments with individual adjustment mechanisms, allowing different portions of the frame to be independently adjusted to match the contours of the user's face, reducing pressure points while maintaining seal integrity
Solution Approach 2:
The goggle incorporates dynamic adjustment mechanisms that allow the frame to adapt to the user's face shape in real-time, enabling the seals to maintain effective contact without creating excessive pressure or discomfort
2Stability of the object's composition
If protrusions and engagement pockets are implemented for secure coupling, then lens stability improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The protrusions and engagement pockets are integrated directly into the lens and frame structures themselves, combining the lens mounting function with the structural elements rather than adding separate mounting mechanisms, thereby maintaining stability while minimizing complexity
