Gradient Color Massager Cover Structure to Prevent Pattern Detachment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional massagers with gradient color effects face issues of pattern detachment due to friction and high-frequency vibrations, leading to reduced aesthetic appeal and potential skin allergies.
Innovation Solution
A gradient color massager design featuring a non-transparent core wrapped with a single-colored transparent cover, utilizing varying thickness and interlocking convex and concave patterns to enhance structural stability and maintain the gradient color effect.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If a printed pattern layer is sprayed on the surface of the protective cover to achieve gradient color effect, then the aesthetic appearance is improved, but the pattern layer is prone to detachment due to friction and high-frequency vibrations during use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies color changes principle by using a transparent cover with varying thickness to create gradient color effects. The cover material itself is designed with thickness variations (thinner at edges, thicker at center) to produce different light transmission properties, achieving aesthetic gradient appearance without relying on printed patterns that can detach.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs composite materials principle by combining the transparent cover with the protective cover in a multi-layer structure. The transparent cover serves as an additional functional layer that provides both aesthetic gradient effect and structural reinforcement, preventing the underlying protective cover from detaching while maintaining visual appeal.
2Shape
If the printed pattern layer is applied to achieve gradient color effect, then the visual appeal is enhanced, but the service life is reduced due to detachment and skin allergy risks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent eliminates printed patterns entirely and instead uses optical principles through varying thickness of transparent material to create gradient color effects. This intrinsic color generation method is permanently integrated into the cover structure, ensuring long-term visual appeal without degradation or detachment issues associated with printed layers.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the short-lived printed pattern layer with a durable transparent cover structure that maintains its aesthetic properties throughout the product's entire service life. The transparent cover is designed to last as long as the massager itself, eliminating the need for replacement or maintenance of decorative layers.
3Shape
If a single-colored transparent cover with varying thickness is used to create gradient color effect, then the aesthetic appeal is improved, but the structural stability may be compromised without proper connection mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the cover structure into multiple functional layers: the original protective cover and the added transparent cover with varying thickness. This segmentation allows each layer to perform its specific function - the protective cover provides durability while the transparent cover creates aesthetic gradient effects - while maintaining overall structural stability through their combined configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements nesting principle by placing the transparent cover over the protective cover in a layered configuration. The transparent cover is positioned such that it nests onto the existing protective cover structure, with the varying thickness designed to create gradient effects while maintaining proper alignment and structural integrity of the combined assembly.

AI summary
A gradient color massager includes a non-transparent core and a single-colored transparent cover wrapped around the outer surface of the non-transparent core. A vibrator is provided in the non-transparent core, and the thickness of each area of the outer surface of the single-colored transparent cover to the non-transparent core varies.
