Golf Training Glasses Protruding Apertures
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing golf training aids fail to effectively restrict peripheral vision, allowing distractions and head movement during a golf swing, leading to inaccurate shots.
Innovation Solution
A pair of golf training glasses with protruding apertures angled to allow some movement while restricting peripheral vision along the line between the golfer's head and the ball, maintaining focus on the ball by using left and right extensions with specific angled panels to form a visual aperture.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If rectangular slit openings are provided in the normal plane of opaque eyeglasses, then the golfer can see the ball, but peripheral vision is permitted and head movement cannot be controlled
Solution Approach 1:
The patent moves the aperture from the normal plane of the lens to a position well forward of the eyeball, creating a three-dimensional protruding structure. This dimensional change allows the aperture to be positioned in space where it can restrict peripheral vision while maintaining focus on the ball, overcoming the limitation of flat lens-mounted slits.
Solution Approach 2:
The aperture is divided into multiple segments or openings within the protruding structure, allowing selective visibility. This segmentation enables the design to permit viewing of the ball while blocking peripheral distractions, resolving the contradiction between maintaining focus and preventing distraction.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If blocking panels of various shapes are provided on the lens, then peripheral vision is restricted, but the close proximity to the eyeball still permits large amount of peripheral vision to be utilized
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of placing blocking panels on the lens surface (two-dimensional solution), the patent creates a protruding aperture structure that extends forward from the lens plane into three-dimensional space. This allows the aperture to be positioned where it can effectively control the visual field without being constrained by the lens surface, thereby restricting peripheral vision more effectively while maintaining ball focus.
3Measurement precision
If an aperture is positioned well forward of the eyeball, then the golfer can see the ball, but side vision is not obscured allowing distraction
Solution Approach 1:
The protruding aperture structure incorporates multiple segmented openings rather than a single large aperture. This segmentation allows the design to selectively permit vision of the ball while blocking side vision, resolving the contradiction between maintaining focus and preventing distraction by controlling which visual information reaches the golfer's eye.

AI summary
A pair of golf training glasses having protruding apertures extending forward from the plane of the normal lens portion of the glasses which are opaque. The protruding apertures are angled on their sides to allow some directed movement of the eyeball to observe other than directly forward when necessary, while at the same time restricting peripheral vision along a line parallel to the line formed between the golfer's head and the ball that is the object of the golf swing.
