Solution Overview

Problem

Existing eyelash extension systems require users to apply adhesive, which can be difficult and time-consuming, and may cause skin irritation.

Innovation Solution

The eyelash extensions are pre-applied with adhesive elements, allowing for easy application without additional supplies and minimizing skin contact.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If adhesive is applied separately by the user, then the eyelash extension system can be applied, but the application process becomes difficult and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of applicationVSAvoidapplication time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive is pre-applied to the eyelash extension strip during manufacturing before reaching the user. This preliminary action eliminates the need for users to separately apply adhesive, significantly simplifying the application process and reducing the time required for application.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If adhesive is applied separately by the user, then the eyelash extension system can be applied, but specialized adhesives and additional supplies are required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of applicationVSAvoidnumber of supplies required
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive and eyelash extension strip are merged into a single integrated unit during manufacturing. The adhesive is permanently attached to the strip, combining two separate components (adhesive and extension) into one product that users can apply without needing additional supplies or specialized adhesives.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If adhesive is applied to the lash line or skin, then the eyelash extension can be attached, but skin irritation may occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattachment reliabilityVSAvoidskin irritation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive is positioned as an intermediary element on the eyelash extension strip, acting as a mediator between the extension and the natural lashes. This allows the adhesive to perform its bonding function while being separated from direct contact with the user's skin, thereby reducing the risk of skin irritation while maintaining attachment reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Area of stationary object

If a single long strip of eyelash extensions is used, then comprehensive lash coverage is achieved, but alignment difficulty increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelash coverage areaVSAvoidalignment difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The eyelash extension system is segmented into multiple smaller sections or individual lashes within the strip, rather than being a single long continuous strip. This segmentation makes each section easier to align and apply individually, reducing the overall alignment difficulty while still providing comprehensive lash coverage when all sections are applied.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

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 system enables quick, one-handed application of eyelash extensions with reduced skin irritation and no need for additional adhesives.
