Spinnable Jewelry Rotating Assembly with Elastic Positioning

Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional jewelry lacks versatility and interactivity due to its invariable patterns, allowing only random wobbling rather than controlled rotation, which fails to satisfy consumer demands for diverse and engaging designs.

Innovation Solution

A spinnable jewelry item featuring a rotating assembly with a positioning mechanism and elastic element, enabling controlled rotation and fixation at specific angles through protrusions and recesses, allowing users to change views and patterns dynamically.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional jewelry uses a fixed invariable pattern, then manufacturing is simple and structure is stable, but versatility and consumer engagement are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The jewelry item is divided into a stationary part and a rotating assembly that can be independently positioned. The rotating assembly includes a rotating face with multiple patterns that can be rotated to different angular positions, allowing each pattern to be displayed separately while maintaining overall structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The jewelry transitions from a static fixed pattern to a dynamic multi-position structure. The rotating assembly can be rotated to different angular positions and locked in place using the positioning assembly with protrusions and recesses, enabling the jewelry to display multiple patterns dynamically while maintaining stability when positioned.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If jewelry allows random wobbling movement, then interactivity is slightly improved, but controlled positioning at specific angles is not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The positioning assembly automatically locks the rotating assembly at specific angular positions through the interaction of protrusions and recesses. When the rotating face is rotated, the protrusions on the rotating face engage with the recesses on the positioning face, automatically maintaining the selected angular position without requiring external fixing mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If a rotating mechanism is added to jewelry, then versatility and user engagement are enhanced, but manufacturing complexity and structural complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The positioning assembly is integrated directly into the rotating assembly structure. The protrusions and recesses are formed as integral parts of the rotating face and stationary part respectively, eliminating the need for separate positioning components and simplifying the manufacturing process while maintaining the multi-position functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
