Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional display cases for collectibles like eyewear obscure important design features and require removal to view from multiple angles, risking damage and diminishing value.
Innovation Solution
A display system comprising a clamshell assembly, stand assembly, and display case that allows eyewear to be viewed from various angles without removal, with a mirror creating an illusion of wearing the eyewear and a transparent design enhancing collectability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional display cases are used to store collectibles, then the collectible is protected from damage, but the view of the collectible is obscured and requires removal to see from multiple angles
Solution Approach 1:
The display case utilizes transparent or translucent materials for its walls and panels, allowing light to pass through and enabling viewers to see the collectible from multiple angles simultaneously without removing it. This dimensional transparency resolves the contradiction by making the protective enclosure invisible to the eye while maintaining physical protection.
Solution Approach 2:
The display case employs transparent or translucent materials that can be configured in different orientations and combinations, allowing the collectible to be viewed from front, back, sides, and top. This optical property change enables full visibility while maintaining protection, eliminating the need to remove the item to see it from multiple angles.
2Loss of information
If the collectible is removed from the display case to view it from multiple angles, then the view is improved, but the risk of damage and loss of value increases
Solution Approach 1:
By making the display case walls transparent or translucent, the invention enables viewing from multiple dimensions (front, back, sides, top) without removing the collectible. This eliminates the harmful factor of handling and potential damage while maintaining complete visual access to the item from all angles.
Solution Approach 2:
The display case serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides physical protection, enables viewing from all angles, and maintains the collectible's value. The transparent construction allows the case to be both a protective barrier and a transparent window, eliminating the need to choose between protection and visibility.
3Reliability
If traditional display cases obscure parts of the product, then the product is protected, but the aesthetic and design features are hidden
Solution Approach 1:
The display case utilizes transparent or translucent materials that allow light to pass through, making the case itself visually invisible while maintaining physical protection. This enables complete visibility of the collectible's aesthetic design features, shape, and details from all angles without compromising protection.
Solution Approach 2:
The transparent construction allows the display case to protect the collectible while being invisible to the eye, enabling full appreciation of the collectible's aesthetic design, shape, and features from multiple dimensions simultaneously without obscuration.
4Loss of information
If the display case is made transparent to improve viewing, then the view is enhanced, but the protective function may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The display case employs transparent or translucent materials that provide both optical clarity for viewing and physical strength for protection. The material properties are selected to maintain protective functionality while enabling complete visual access to the collectible from all angles.
Solution Approach 2:
By making the protective enclosure transparent, the invention simultaneously achieves complete visibility of the collectible from multiple dimensions and maintains physical protection. The transparent walls act as both protective barriers and transparent windows, eliminating the trade-off between viewing and protection.
