Canvas Mounting Bracket With Adhesive Anti-Slip Teeth
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for hanging a stretched canvas often result in damage to the wall or canvas and fail to prevent horizontal sliding, necessitating improved mounting solutions.
Innovation Solution
A wall-mounted bracket with adhesive strips and mechanical features such as teeth or protrusions to securely attach and hold a stretched canvas in place, preventing horizontal sliding, and allowing for level adjustment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional mounting methods (nails, wire hooks, J hooks, saw tooth brackets, or D-rings) are used to hang stretched canvas, then the canvas can be securely mounted, but the wall or canvas is damaged
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical mounting systems (nails, hooks, brackets) with an adhesive-based mounting system. The adhesive strips bond the canvas to the wall through chemical adhesion rather than mechanical penetration, eliminating damage to both the wall and canvas while maintaining secure mounting capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the mounting mechanism from mechanical (physical penetration) to chemical (adhesive bonding). This parameter change in the mounting method allows the canvas to be securely attached without the harmful mechanical forces that cause damage, resolving the contradiction between reliability and harm prevention.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If simple adhesive mounting is used, then damage is prevented, but horizontal sliding cannot be prevented
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges two mounting mechanisms into a single system: adhesive bonding (for vertical support and damage prevention) and mechanical interlocking teeth (for horizontal stability). The teeth protrude from the adhesive strip and engage with corresponding features on the canvas frame, preventing lateral movement while the adhesive prevents damage.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting system uses a composite structure combining adhesive material with mechanical teeth features. This composite approach integrates the benefits of both adhesive bonding (damage-free attachment) and mechanical interlocking (slip prevention), resolving the contradiction between damage prevention and horizontal stability.
3Stability of the object's composition
If traditional mechanical mounting devices are used, then horizontal sliding is prevented, but the mounting process is complex and may require tools
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex mechanical mounting devices (requiring tools for installation) with a simplified adhesive-based system. The adhesive strips with teeth can be applied directly to the wall and canvas without special tools, making the mounting process as simple as applying adhesive while maintaining horizontal stability through the tooth features.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution provides a non-damaging, secure, and adjustable method for hanging stretched canvases, ensuring they remain flush with the wall and preventing horizontal movement, while allowing for easy level adjustment.
Implementation Method 1
a bracket that can be attached to or mounted on a vertical surface with one or more adhesive strips
Implementation Method 2
one or more mechanical features on the bracket that prevent or minimize an item hung on the bracket from sliding horizontally off the bracket. In some embodiments, the mechanical features that prevent or minimize the canvas from sliding horizontally off of the bracket are teeth or protrusions
