Spectacle Temple Decorative Element Injection Molding
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Spectacle temple decorative elements, such as logos or designs, tend to detach over time and accumulate dirt due to being undersized and glued into recessed portions, leading to durability and aesthetic issues.
Innovation Solution
Injection molding a decorative element directly onto the spectacle or goggle component, ensuring intimate bonding and eliminating the need for a separate plate, thus preventing detachment and dirt accumulation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a plate with decorative element is glued into a recessed seat on the temple, then the temple can be decorated with logo or design, but the plate is subject to partial or total detachment over time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the decorative plate and the temple body into a single integrated component. The decorative element is molded directly onto the temple surface, eliminating the separate plate that was previously glued into a recessed seat. This integration prevents detachment while maintaining the decorative function.
Solution Approach 2:
The decorative element is incorporated into the temple body during the molding process itself, before the product is assembled or used. By pre-integrating the decorative feature into the temple structure during manufacturing, the patent eliminates subsequent attachment issues that would occur with separate components.
2Ease of operation
If the plate is made undersized to fit easily into the seat, then the plate can be easily installed, but an interspace is formed between the plate and seat which accumulates dirt
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the decorative element with the temple body through direct molding, the patent eliminates the interspace that would otherwise form between a separate plate and its seat. The integrated design ensures continuous surface contact, preventing dirt accumulation while maintaining ease of manufacture.
3Shape
If a separate plate is glued into a recessed seat, then the decorative element can be applied to the temple, but the glued plate detaches over time and accumulates dirt
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the decorative element and temple body into a single molded component, preserving the aesthetic appearance while eliminating the reliability issues of detached plates. The integrated design ensures the decorative feature remains permanently attached.
Solution Approach 2:
The decorative element is incorporated into the temple structure during the initial molding process, before any assembly or use. This preliminary integration ensures both aesthetic quality and long-term durability by preventing subsequent detachment.
