Rigid Mesh Cap for Wig Attachment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wig mesh caps do not maintain their shape without additional supporting structures, making it difficult for users to attach artificial hair correctly, leading to a frustrating and time-consuming process.
Innovation Solution
A mesh cap with a sufficiently rigid structure, constructed from materials like polyester, nylon, or spandex, that maintains its shape without additional support, allowing for easy attachment of artificial hair and customizable styling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If conventional wig mesh caps are made without additional supporting structures, then the device complexity is reduced, but the mesh cap cannot maintain its shape
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the physical parameters of the mesh cap material itself, making it sufficiently rigid to maintain shape without additional supporting structures. The mesh cap is constructed from materials with specific rigidity properties that enable it to hold its form independently.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses composite materials for the mesh cap construction, combining materials like polyester, nylon, or spandex to achieve the desired rigidity and shape maintenance properties without requiring additional supporting structures.
2Ease of operation
If the mesh cap material is made sufficiently rigid to maintain shape, then the ease of operation is improved, but the material selection is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent specifies particular material parameters (rigidity, elasticity) that enable the mesh cap to maintain shape while still allowing for material versatility. By defining the required physical properties rather than restricting to specific materials, the solution improves ease of operation while maintaining adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs composite materials such as polyester, nylon, or spandex that collectively provide the necessary rigidity for shape maintenance while offering versatility in material selection. These materials can be combined or selected based on specific application requirements.
3Ease of manufacture
If conventional mesh caps lack rigidity, then the ease of manufacture is improved, but the manufacturing precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the rigidity parameter of the mesh cap material to a level that is sufficiently high to maintain shape during hair attachment, thereby improving manufacturing precision. The material is made rigid enough to provide a stable base for precise hair placement while remaining manufacturable.
