Adjustable Pole With Variable-Size Doors For Clutter-Free Device Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing pole systems face challenges in accommodating devices of various sizes without appearing cluttered, as devices are typically externally attached, leading to a disorganized appearance.
Innovation Solution
The pole system incorporates a shelf board that partitions the internal space and a door with a variable surface size, allowing each subspace to be adjusted in size based on the device's dimensions, and the door can be resized to fit the subspace, ensuring devices are securely accommodated.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If devices are externally attached to the coupling pole, then devices can be mounted on the pole, but the appearance becomes cluttered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent places devices inside the hollow cylindrical body of the coupling pole rather than attaching them externally. The internal space of the pole is utilized to accommodate devices such as lighting fixtures, security cameras, and speakers, creating a nested configuration where devices are housed within the pole structure itself. This eliminates the cluttered appearance of external attachments while maintaining device mounting capability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the pole accommodates various devices, then versatility is improved, but the pole structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the coupling pole with a universal internal mounting structure that can accommodate multiple types of devices (lighting fixtures, security cameras, speakers, automatic flashing devices) without requiring different pole configurations. The hollow cylindrical body with internal mounting surfaces provides a multi-functional platform that handles various device types through a single standardized structure, avoiding complexity multiplication.
Solution Approach 2:
The coupling pole is divided into functional segments: the hollow cylindrical body for device accommodation, the first connection part for vertical assembly, and the device attachment part for internal device mounting. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function efficiently while maintaining overall structural simplicity and ease of assembly.
3Shape
If devices are mounted inside the pole, then appearance is improved, but device access for maintenance becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates removable access panels or openings in the cylindrical body that allow devices to be extracted from the internal space for maintenance and replacement. These access points can be positioned at convenient locations along the pole height, enabling technicians to remove and service devices without dismantling the entire pole structure, thus maintaining the clean external appearance while facilitating easy device access.

AI summary
There is provided a pole enabling devices having various sizes to be mounted therein while curbing having a cluttered appearance. A pole (1) includes a shelf board (3) configured to partition an internal space (2) of the pole (1); a door (132, 161) configured to close each of subspaces (4) partitioned by the shelf board (3). The door (132, 161) has a structure in which a size of a surface of the door (132, 161) is variable, each of the subspaces (4) has a size which is changed by changing a position of the shelf board (3), each of the subspaces (4) is closed by changing a size of a surface of the door (132, 161), and each of the subspaces (4) accommodates a device (90) having a predetermined function.
