Ornament Hooking Assistive Device for Secure Button Fastening
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing ornaments attached to clothing are difficult to attach later than manufacturing, incur high costs when attached during manufacturing, and are not versatile for use on other items like hats, bags, or shoes, and often shift when hooked over buttons.
Innovation Solution
An ornament with a plate-shaped body and a ring-shaped hooking assistive device that allows easy attachment and secure fastening over buttons, featuring an inlet for the button and a wall projection for additional decoration, utilizing elasticity to prevent movement and easy detachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If an ornament is attached to clothing during manufacturing, then the ornament is securely fastened, but manufacturing costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The ornament includes a pre-formed hook structure that can be attached to clothing during manufacturing or later by the user. The hook is designed with a bending section that allows it to be pre-bent into the fastening configuration, enabling secure attachment either during manufacturing or as a post-manufacturing modification without requiring complex assembly processes
Solution Approach 2:
The ornament is divided into separate functional components: a body portion, a hook structure with a bending section, and a fastening section. This segmentation allows the hook to be independently formed and attached, simplifying the manufacturing process and reducing costs while maintaining secure fastening capability
2Reliability
If an ornament is designed for specific clothing items, then it can be securely attached, but it cannot be used on other items like hats, bags, or shoes
Solution Approach 1:
The ornament is designed with a universal hook structure that can attach to various types of projecting parts including buttons on clothing, snaps on bags, buckles on shoes, and other fastening elements on hats and accessories. The hook's bending section and fastening mechanism are configured to work with multiple types of fasteners, enabling the same ornament to be securely attached across different product categories
3Ease of operation
If an ornament is hooked over a button, then it can be fastened, but it may turn or shift position
Solution Approach 1:
The hook structure includes an asymmetric bending section with a specific curvature radius that is smaller than the button diameter. This asymmetric design creates a preferred orientation when the hook engages with the button, preventing the ornament from rotating or shifting to incorrect positions while maintaining easy fastening through the bending action
4Adaptability or versatility
If an ornament is made with expensive materials, then it has aesthetic value, but it cannot be easily detached and reused on other items
Solution Approach 1:
The hook structure incorporates a dynamic bending section that can be flexibly deformed for attachment and detachment. The bending section is designed with appropriate elasticity to allow the user to easily open the hook for removal and re-attachment to different items, enabling reuse of expensive ornaments without permanent attachment or damage to the fastening mechanism
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
Enables secure, versatile attachment to various clothing items without shifting, allowing for easy detachment and reuse, and can be applied to different types of projecting parts beyond buttons.
Implementation Method 1
the hooking assistive device 12 is attached to the wall 15 of the body 11 and the opening of the hooking assistive device 12 is in the same direction as the direction of the inlet 14, the hooking assistive device 12 touches the button and is widened when the button is pushed through; and the thread used for sewing the button passes through the inlet 14 to allow the hooking assistive device 12 to fasten the button by means of elasticity after the button is pushed through

AI summary
An ornament hooked over a button to be fastened includes a plate-shaped body, a ring-shaped hooking assistive device, combined with the body and made by bending a long plate to be a ring open on one side, and a first ornamental part covering the body above the hooking assistive device, wherein the body is formed with an inlet in the direction from the center into which the ornament is hooked over a button to make the button pass through the inlet of the body and place at the center of the body; a wall is formed as an upward projection from a part of the outer circumferential surface of the body to be combined with the first ornamental part on top of the wall.
