Spectacle Temple Side Shield Snap-Fit Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing goggles with side shields have a monotonous overall shape and color, limiting user preference and product competitiveness, and often fall off during use.
Innovation Solution
A spectacle temple side shield structure that allows users to choose and assemble side shields of different shapes and colors, featuring a pivot joint, detent seat, detent unit, blocking bars, and a locking cover portion for secure attachment to the spectacle frame.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If side shields are directly extended and integrally formed on both sides of the frame, then the structure is simple, but the overall shape and color become monotonous and cannot be customized
Solution Approach 1:
The side shield is separated from the frame, allowing independent selection and assembly of different shapes and colors while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure
Solution Approach 2:
The frame is designed with a universal mounting structure that can accommodate various types of side shields, enabling one frame to support multiple customization options
2Object-affected harmful factors
If side shields are added to protect eyes from wind and foreign objects, then eye protection function is improved, but the structure becomes more complex and assembly becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The side shield is divided into independent components (shielding piece, detent unit, locking cover portion) that can be easily assembled and disassembled, making assembly convenient while maintaining protective function
Solution Approach 2:
The detent unit acts as an intermediary mechanism between the side shield and frame, providing simple snap-fit assembly that secures the shield firmly while allowing easy installation and removal
3Reliability
If side shields are firmly fixed to prevent falling off, then reliability is improved, but the assembly process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The detent unit with elastic part automatically engages with the detent seat through snap-fit action, providing self-securing functionality that ensures reliable attachment without complex fastening mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic detent mechanism replaces complex mechanical fastening systems with a simple snap-fit design that provides firm fixation through elastic engagement forces
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 easier and more convenient assembly, prevents side shields from falling off, provides eye protection from strong winds and foreign objects, enhances aesthetic appeal, and increases product competitiveness.
Implementation Method 1
an elastic part formed between the upper and lower two corresponding grooves, and a detent protrusion protruded from the elastic part, which is latch-locked and fixed with the detent seat of the temple of the spectacle frame corresponding to each other

AI summary
The invention relates to a spectacle temple side shield structure, wherein the two sides of the spectacle frame and the pivot joints of the temples pivotally connect to each other. Each of the temples has a detent seat corresponding with the pivot joint. The side shield device has a shielding piece arranged thereon and a detent unit provided on an inner edge of a top end of the shielding piece, wherein the detent unit has grooves correspondingly arranged on the upper and lower parts thereof, an elastic part formed between the upper and lower two corresponding grooves, and a detent protrusion protruding from the elastic part, which is latch-locked and fixed with the detent seat corresponding to each other. Therefore, users can choose different shapes and color patterns of the side shields according to their own preferences to assemble and fix them on both sides of the spectacle frame.
