Solution Overview

Problem

Existing spuit-type cosmetic containers either contaminate the cosmetic material when applied manually or waste it due to variable discharge amounts when using a massage pendulum, as they lack a mechanism for both efficient dispensing and skin massage.

Innovation Solution

A spuit-type container with a flocking tip having a temporary storage and distribution holes, where the cosmetic material is stored and discharged through a soft fiber material, allowing for controlled application and massage without contamination or wastage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a spuit tube is used to discharge cosmetic material, then contamination is prevented, but massage function is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontamination preventionVSAvoidmassage function
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the discharge function and massage function into a single integrated tip structure. The flocking tip combines the spuit tube's discharge capability with embedded massage elements (protrusions or particles) that contact the skin, allowing both functions to be performed simultaneously without requiring separate components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The flocking tip is designed as a multi-functional component that performs both cosmetic material discharge and skin massage. By incorporating massage elements within the tip structure, a single component achieves multiple functions that would otherwise require separate devices, improving versatility while maintaining contamination prevention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If a massage pendulum is added to the spuit tube, then massage function is achieved, but cosmetic material waste increases due to variable discharge amounts

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemassage functionVSAvoidcosmetic material waste
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of adding a separate massage pendulum that requires manual operation and causes variable discharge, the patent merges the massage function directly into the tip structure. The massage elements are integrated within the flocking tip itself, eliminating the need for separate massage mechanisms and enabling consistent, controlled discharge of cosmetic material.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The flocking tip performs both discharge and massage functions automatically through its integrated structure. When cosmetic material is discharged, the massage elements naturally contact and massage the skin without requiring additional user actions or separate components, achieving self-service functionality that prevents material waste.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Device complexity

If manual application is used, then no additional components are needed, but cosmetic material contamination occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoidcontamination prevention
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The flocking tip acts as an intermediary component between the cosmetic material reservoir and the skin. It receives the cosmetic material through the spuit tube mechanism and transfers it to the skin through its flocking surface, eliminating direct hand contact with the cosmetic material while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

AI summary

A spuit-type container including a flocking tip having a temporary storage is provided. A lid is coupled to an upper portion of a container body, a pressing button is mounted at an inner upper portion of the lid, a spuit bulb is formed under the pressing button to discharge and suck a cosmetic material, a spuit tube is coupled to a lower portion of the spuit bulb, a coupling part of the flocking tip is formed at a lower end portion of the spuit tube to be coupled to the flocking tip, a temporal storage is formed in the flocking tip to temporarily store the cosmetic material, and the temporal storage is formed therein with a distribution hole. The pressing and then releasing operation of the pressing button by a user operate the spuit bulb so that the spuit tube sucks the cosmetic material stored in the container body.
