Angle Bracket Lamp Fitting for Adjustable Bed Head Movement Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bedside lighting solutions for adjustable beds do not effectively follow the movement of the bed's head end when angled, requiring manual adjustment and lacking aesthetic design options.
Innovation Solution
A bedside lamp fitting is attached to the movable head end of the bed using an angle bracket, ensuring it remains in a constant position relative to the user, with a stable mount and adjustable lighting options.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If bedside lighting is attached to a wall, headboard, or floor as a fixed device, then the lighting structure can be simple and stable, but the light source cannot follow when the bed head is angled upwards or downwards, requiring manual adjustment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the lighting device with the adjustable bed structure by mounting it on the movable head section. The lighting unit is integrated into the bed frame's adjustable section, so that when the head section moves to different angles, the lighting device automatically follows and maintains its position relative to the user's head, eliminating the need for manual adjustment.
2Reliability
If a lighting device is fixed on the movable part of the bed bottom, then the light source follows the bed movement and maintains constant position, but the mounting structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting device is merged with the movable head section of the bed, utilizing the existing mechanical structure for mounting. The lighting unit is attached to the head section's support structure, allowing it to move with the section while maintaining a consistent position above the user's head throughout the adjustment range.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting structure serves multiple functions: it provides structural support for the lighting device, enables automatic following of bed movement, and maintains proper positioning relative to the user. By designing the mounting to integrate with the adjustable mechanism, the same structural elements achieve both support and motion coupling.
3Shape
If long arms or relocation mechanisms are used for fixed lighting, then the lighting can reach the head position, but the design becomes less aesthetic and more complex
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of using separate long arms or relocation mechanisms, the lighting device is directly integrated into the movable head section structure. This merging eliminates the need for extended mounting arms and complex adjustment mechanisms, resulting in a cleaner, more aesthetic design while maintaining proper lighting position.

AI summary
A device for providing an adjustable bed with a bedside lighting has the shape of an angle (1). It is attached to the bed bottom of the head end of the adjustable bed. The device is provided with a contact (2) where the fitting (3) of the bedside lamp can be attached. The device is designed and applied in a stable manner to the bed bottom. Onto the contact of the attachment means a flexible lighting fitting for LED lighting is attached, the lighting can be controlled by means of the remote control belonging to the bed.
