Clamp-Type Clothes Hanger for Rod Attachment Without Wall Damage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional hangers damage wall surfaces when installed and are inconvenient for hanging and retrieving clothes in bathrooms due to their design and installation requirements, especially in tiled environments and high distances from shower doors.
Innovation Solution
A clamp-type clothes hanger with a main body and clamp that surrounds a hanger rod, allowing secure attachment without damaging walls, featuring a hook for hanging clothes and a clamp ring that fits various rod diameters, secured by a fastener.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a hook-type hanger is installed using nails or adhesive, then the hanger can be firmly fixed, but the wall surface is damaged or the adhesive fails due to moisture
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a clamp as an intermediary device that attaches to the hanger rod rather than directly to the wall. The clamp ring with fastener creates a mechanical connection to the rod, serving as a mediator between the hanger and the support structure, thereby avoiding direct wall attachment and its associated damage
Solution Approach 2:
The invention extracts the attachment function from the wall surface and relocates it to the hanger rod. By taking out the need for wall penetration or adhesion and replacing it with a clamp mechanism that grips the rod, the solution eliminates wall damage while maintaining firm fixation
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a hook-type hanger is installed across a door, then the hanger can be installed without wall damage, but the distance from shower and high position makes it inconvenient to hang or pick up clothes
Solution Approach 1:
The clamp mechanism is designed to be universally applicable to various hanger rod configurations and locations. It can attach to rods mounted on walls, doors, or other surfaces at different heights, providing a versatile solution that adapts to different bathroom layouts while maintaining ease of access
Solution Approach 2:
The clamp ring with adjustable fastener provides dynamic adaptability to different rod diameters and positions. The mechanism can be easily adjusted and repositioned along the rod, allowing users to optimize the hanging position for convenience while maintaining secure attachment
3Reliability
If a clamp ring with fastener is used to fit various rod diameters, then the hanger can be securely attached without wall damage, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The clamp ring is designed with adjustable parameters including the opening angle and fastener position, allowing it to adapt to various rod diameters. By changing these geometric parameters, the same basic clamp structure can securely fit different rod sizes without requiring multiple specialized components
