Bird Display Stand Structure for Hidden Upright Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display stands for photography do not effectively hold birds in an upright position, making it difficult to capture natural and aesthetically pleasing photographs after a successful hunt.
Innovation Solution
A display stand comprising a base with removable legs, a bar with a straight and curved section, and mounting bars that securely attach to the bird's legs, allowing the bird to be posed naturally for photography.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If a display stand is used to hold a bird for photography, then the bird can be positioned upright, but the stand itself becomes visible in the photograph
Solution Approach 1:
The harmful element (the stand structure) is extracted or removed from the visible field. The stand is designed to be hidden behind the bird's body, separating the support function from the visual presentation. The mounting bars and base are positioned such that they are obscured by the bird, leaving only the bird visible in the photograph.
Solution Approach 2:
The bird's body serves as an intermediary that blocks the view of the stand. The stand is deliberately positioned behind the bird, using the bird itself as a natural screen or mediator that hides the support structure while allowing the bird to be displayed in the desired upright position.
2Ease of operation
If a display stand is designed to hold a bird upright, then natural positioning is achieved, but the stand structure becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The stand is divided into separate functional segments: a base for stability, vertical support elements, and mounting bars for securing the bird. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific function while keeping the overall structure manageable and relatively simple.
Solution Approach 2:
The stand utilizes the vertical dimension to achieve upright positioning, with the bird mounted vertically on the structure. The mounting bars extend in multiple directions (horizontally and vertically) to accommodate the bird's anatomy, using spatial arrangement in three dimensions to achieve natural positioning without excessive structural complexity.

AI summary
An assembly includes a base a bar including a first straight section extending upright from the base, a curved section extending over the base and a second straight section extending further over the base, a first mounting bar extending through a first hole in the second straight section, and a second mounting bar extending through a second hole in the second straight section.
