Adhesive Necklace Clasp Positioning Patch for Rotation Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Necklace clasps often rotate about the user's neck, positioning themselves undesirably in front of the neck, necessitating a device to maintain the clasp at a desired location.
Innovation Solution
A jewelry clasp positioning device comprising a patch with an adhesive layer and fasteners that attach to the user's skin, ensuring the clasp remains in place, featuring various fastener configurations and attachment structures to secure necklaces or other jewelry.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the necklace is worn freely without a positioning device, then the necklace can move and rotate easily, but the clasp drifts to the front of the neck which is undesirable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a positioning device as an intermediary element between the necklace clasp and the user's neck. This device includes a body with a first interface that contacts the neck and a second interface that contacts the clasp, acting as a mediator to maintain proper positioning without restricting natural wear or requiring the clasp to be manually adjusted
2Stability of the object's composition
If a positioning device is added to maintain clasp position, then the clasp remains stable at the desired location, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning device is segmented into distinct functional interfaces: a first interface for contacting the neck and a second interface for contacting the clasp. This segmentation allows each interface to be optimized for its specific function while keeping the overall device relatively simple. The body connects these interfaces, providing structural support without unnecessary complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The positioning device body serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides structural support, maintains clasp position, interfaces with the neck, and connects to the clasp. By making the device multi-functional, the patent reduces the need for separate components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity while achieving stable clasp positioning
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
The device effectively stabilizes the clasp at the desired location on the user's neck, preventing it from rotating or rotating, effectively keeping the clasp in the rear position during wear.
Implementation Method 1
an adhesive layer configured to be placed on a user's skin and not be removed during use

AI summary
A jewelry clasp positioning device is provided. The jewelry clasp positioning device is a patch including a first face and a second face. The first face has an area and an adhesive layer. A first fastener is attached to the patch. A second fastener is attached to the patch. The device can be used by selecting a color of the jewelry clasp positioning device. Next, a user attaches a first and second fastening component of a piece of jewelry to the first and second fastener of the device and removes an adhesive cover. Next, the user aligns the first face of the jewelry clasp positioning device with a user's neck. Lastly, the user places the first face of the jewelry clasp positioning device against their neck.
