Wall mount with movable hooks

Abstract

Wall bracket (1) with at least one movably mounted hook (2), characterized in that the hook (2) is connected to a display element (3) via a mechanical coupling, wherein the display element (3) is visibly moved upwards when the hook (2) is lowered as a result of hanging an object and represents a symbol, image, sign or figure (4), and wherein the weight of the display element (3) causes the hook (2) to return to its initial position after being relieved.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a wall mount with at least one movable hook, which is particularly useful for promoting memory training. State of the art

[0002] Familiar wall hooks are typically used solely for hanging items such as clothing, bags, or keys. They lack a playful or memory-enhancing component. Memory training systems, on the other hand, are usually designed as card or screen games, without any direct connection to everyday use. Object of the invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a device that combines everyday organizational functions with playful memory training. For this purpose, the hanging of an object is combined with the display of a symbol, image, or sign (e.g., flower, animal, text, geometric shape), so that the user is challenged to memorize the symbols, similar to a memory game. Solution to the task

[0004] This task is solved by a wall bracket with at least one hook that is movably mounted around a pivot point. The hook is mechanically coupled to a display element on which a symbol or character is shown.

[0005] When an object is hung on the hook, the hook moves slightly downwards.

[0006] A lever or tilting mechanism is used to move the display element upwards, making the symbol or character visible.

[0007] Due to the special lever mechanism, a very slight downward movement of the hook is sufficient to raise the indicator element significantly higher.

[0008] As soon as the object is removed from the hook, the weight of the indicator element causes it to return to its starting position. At the same time, the hook returns to its resting position.

[0009] The movement sequences are based on the Fig. schematically represented: Fig. : Idle state Fig. : Movement approximately halfway along the route Fig. : Endpoint of the movement Advantages of the invention

[0010] Combination of organizational function (hanging) and playful memory training.

[0011] Promotes eye-hand coordination, as the targeted hanging of objects and the simultaneous observation of the rising symbols trains motor control.

[0012] A simple mechanical solution that ensures high reliability of function, as no complex or failure-prone components are necessary.

[0013] Simple mechanical implementation without electronics or additional energy source.

[0014] Enhanced motion transmission through clever lever mounting, resulting in a noticeable visual effect.

[0015] Automatic reset mechanism via the weight of the display element itself.

Claims

[1] Wall bracket (1) with at least one movable hook (2), characterized by , that the hook (2) is connected via a mechanical coupling to a display element (3), wherein the display element (3) is visibly moved upwards when the hook (2) is lowered as a result of hanging an object and represents a symbol, image, sign or figure (4), and wherein the weight of the display element (3) causes the hook (2) to return to its initial position after being relieved. [2] Wall bracket according to claim 1, characterized by , that the mechanical coupling is designed as a lever or tilting mechanism, wherein a slight downward movement of the hook (2) causes a significant upward movement of the indicator element (3). [3] Wall mount according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by , that the display element (3) represents a symbol or character (4) such as flowers, animals, numbers, letters or geometric shapes. [4] Wall mount according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by , that the visibility of the symbols or signs (4) enables memory training similar to a memory game. [5] Wall mount according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by , that the targeted hanging and simultaneous observation of the symbols or signs (4) promotes eye-hand coordination. [6] Wall mount according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by , that the mechanism is particularly simple in design, which enables reliable and maintenance-free operation without additional energy sources. [7] Wall mount according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by , that several hooks (2) can be combined with their own display elements (3), resulting in a variety of symbol combinations.
