Cat Tree Hook Structure for Noise-Free Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional cat tree structures are difficult to assemble and disassemble, and the construction process is noisy due to the need for drilling holes to fix jumping tables to the wall.
Innovation Solution
A cat tree structure featuring a pair of vertical rods with a horizontal plate and jumping tables equipped with hook and carrying structures, including a main and extension portion with screws for secure attachment and easy removal, allowing for versatile configuration and reduced noise during assembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If jumping tables are fixed on the wall through drilling holes, then the supporting structure is stable, but the construction noise is large and the difficulty for removing and changing the assembly is high
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides the fixing mechanism into separate components: a hook structure attached to the jumping table and a corresponding fixing component attached to the horizontal plate. This segmentation allows the jumping table to be easily assembled and disassembled without drilling holes, while still providing stable support through the interlocking hook and fixing component design.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces a horizontal plate as an intermediary element between the jumping table and the wall. The horizontal plate distributes the load and provides mounting points for the fixing components, enabling stable support without direct wall drilling for each jumping table, thus reducing construction complexity and noise.
2Stability of the object's composition
If jumping tables are fixed on the wall through drilling holes, then the supporting structure is stable, but the construction process is noisy
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the fixing system into removable hook and fixing component parts that attach to the horizontal plate, the invention eliminates the need for drilling holes in the wall during assembly, thereby eliminating construction noise while maintaining structural stability through the designed connection mechanism.
3Stability of the object's composition
If conventional fixing methods are used, then the supporting structure is stable, but the difficulty for removing and changing the assembly is high
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing mechanism is segmented into removable components (hook structure and fixing component) that can be easily detached from each other. This allows the jumping tables to be removed and reconfigured without damaging the wall or requiring complex disassembly procedures, while the interlocking design ensures stable support during use.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing system transitions from a static permanent fixation (drilled holes) to a dynamic removable connection. The hook and fixing component can be easily engaged and disengaged, allowing the assembly to be adapted, moved, or reconfigured as needed while maintaining stability during each configuration state.

AI summary
A cat tree structure is disclosed, and including a pair of vertical rods, a horizontal plate disposed between the pair of vertical rods and a jumping table disposed on the horizontal plate, and having at least one hook structure and a carrying structure, wherein the hook structure has a main portion and an extension portion, the extension portion is connected at a side of the main portion, the main portion is disposed on the horizontal plate. Through the hook structure of the jumping table, the jumping table of the present disclosure can be conveniently fixed on the horizontal plate or removed from the horizontal plate. Besides, the extension portion of the hook structure can be particular to or in parallel with the front side surface of the horizontal plate so that carrying structure can be designed to multiple forms in to provide a place for cat to jump and stay.
