Cosmetic Product Surface Decoration With Triangular Image Stripes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cosmetic product surface decorations produce static images that appear the same from any observation point, lacking dynamic effects.
Innovation Solution
A cosmetic product with protruding triangular stripes, each side decorated with different images, allowing visibility of distinct images from different angles due to specific inclinations and dimensions, achieved through methods like ink-jet printing, spray and laser techniques, or engraved dies.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If traditional flat surface decoration is used, then manufacturing is simple, but the visual effect is static and unengaging
Solution Approach 1:
The surface is segmented into multiple triangular stripes with different inclinations. Each stripe acts as an independent visual element that can be decorated with different images. This segmentation allows the surface to display multiple images simultaneously from different observation angles, transforming a static decoration into a dynamic one while maintaining relatively simple manufacturing processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from a two-dimensional flat surface to a three-dimensional structured surface with protruding triangular stripes. By adding the dimension of height and inclination angles (40° to 60°), the surface gains the ability to present different images based on the observer's angle, thereby achieving dynamic visual effects without significantly complicating the manufacturing process.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple images are displayed on the surface, then visual appeal increases, but the surface structure becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
Different regions of the surface (individual triangular stripes) are given different local qualities through specific inclination angles and decorative images. Each stripe is optimized to display a particular image from a specific angle range. This local differentiation allows multiple images to be displayed effectively while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure that can be manufactured using standard cosmetic production techniques.

AI summary
A powder cosmetic product in the form of a flat wafer or plate or extruded rod for lipsticks includes a cosmetic body with a visible surface provided with a plurality of protruding stripes with triangular section. Each stripe has a vertex, a first inclined side decorated with a portion of a first image, and a second inclined side decorated with a portion of a second image. By observing the cosmetic body from an observation point (A) angled so that only the first inclined side of each stripe can be seen, only the first image is visible, while by observing the same cosmetic body from an observation point (B) angled so that only the second inclined side of each stripe can be seen, only the second image is visible.
