Solution Overview

Problem

Concealed hanging brackets with anti-disengagement systems face challenges in reducing production and assembly costs due to the need for multiple separate moulded pieces that require joining, complicating the structure and increasing costs.

Innovation Solution

A concealed hanging-bracket group with anti-disengagement is designed using a single moulded sheet with integrated movement and adjustment mechanisms, allowing for easy access to adjustments through a pair of holes in the furniture lining, minimizing the need for additional components and simplifying assembly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multiple separate moulded pieces are used to provide adjustment mechanisms and anti-disengagement features, then the functional requirements are met, but the production cost and assembly complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-disengagement functionalityVSAvoidnumber of separate components
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the adjustment mechanism and anti-disengagement features into a single integrated moulded piece that forms part of the hanging bracket assembly. This merging eliminates the need for multiple separate components, reducing both production costs and assembly complexity while maintaining all required functions including height adjustment, depth adjustment, and anti-disengagement protection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple separate moulded pieces are joined to the base plate, then the adjustment and anti-disengagement features are achieved, but production and assembly costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustment capabilitiesVSAvoidproduction cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The invention integrates multiple functional features (adjustment mechanisms and anti-disengagement elements) into a single moulded component that attaches to the base plate. This consolidation reduces the number of separate parts that need to be manufactured and assembled, thereby lowering production costs while preserving full adjustment capabilities and anti-disengagement functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Area of stationary object

If a single hole is provided in the lining for access to adjustments, then the perforated surface area is reduced, but the structure becomes more complicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperforated surface areaVSAvoidaccess mechanism structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent provides access to adjustment mechanisms through holes in the rear lining of the furniture, allowing adjustments to be made from the back side. This approach maintains the concealed appearance of the hanging bracket while providing adequate access through strategically positioned holes, balancing aesthetic requirements with functional accessibility without requiring complex access mechanisms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
