Ceiling Groove Suspender With Adjustable Two-Direction Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing ceiling suspenders face limitations in positioning flexibility due to the inability to attach around intersection points of grooves and areas occupied by equipment, restricting the suspension of objects.
Innovation Solution
A suspender design that includes a fixed portion and a body portion with guide portions allowing for adjustable attachment to multiple points in a grid-shaped groove, enabling flexible positioning of suspended objects in multiple directions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a suspender is attached to a ceiling via a grid-shaped groove, then the suspender can be installed in a structured ceiling system, but the suspender cannot be attached around intersection points of grooves and around equipment, restricting positioning flexibility
Solution Approach 1:
The suspender incorporates movable connection mechanisms that allow the body portion to slide along guide portions, enabling dynamic adjustment of the suspender's position within the groove system. This dynamic capability allows the suspender to adapt to various positions while maintaining secure attachment, resolving the contradiction between positioning flexibility and attachment availability.
Solution Approach 2:
The suspender design with adjustable connection mechanisms provides universal applicability across different groove configurations and equipment arrangements. The ability to position the suspender at multiple locations within the groove system makes it a multi-functional solution that can accommodate various ceiling layouts and equipment positions, enhancing both adaptability and ease of operation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed-position suspender is used, then the installation process is simple, but the object to be suspended cannot be easily positioned at various locations
Solution Approach 1:
The suspender employs movable connection mechanisms with guide portions that enable the body portion to be positioned at various locations along the groove. This dynamic positioning capability provides suspending position variety while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The suspender is divided into distinct portions including a fixed portion and a body portion connected through guide portions. This segmentation allows the body portion to be independently positioned along the groove, providing suspending position variety while keeping each component relatively simple in structure, thus resolving the contradiction between adaptability and device complexity.

AI summary
A suspender suspends an object via a grid-shaped groove provided in a ceiling included in a building. The suspender includes a fixed portion fixed to multiple places in the groove. The suspender includes a body portion that is connected to the fixed portion and that suspends the object. A first guide portion extending in a first direction for connecting the fixed portion and the body portion is provided at the fixed portion or the body portion, and a connecting position of the body portion can be changed. A second guide portion that is used for suspending the object and that extends in a second direction is provided. The suspender can change a suspending position of the object.
