Cornhole Board Leveling System with Adjustable Brackets
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Setting up cornhole boards on uneven ground is challenging due to the difficulty in achieving proper angling and leveling, which affects gameplay.
Innovation Solution
A kit comprising adjustable back and front leg bracket assemblies, alignment cables, and clips that allow for vertical and horizontal adjustments to level and align cornhole boards, including the use of collapsible wedges and shims for varying leg widths.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If traditional fixed leg assemblies are used on uneven ground, then the board structure remains simple, but the board cannot be properly leveled or angled
Solution Approach 1:
The leg assemblies are made adjustable rather than fixed. The bracket guides can slide vertically along the legs, and the leg length can be modified by adding or removing sections. This dynamic adjustability allows the legs to adapt to uneven ground while maintaining proper board leveling and angling.
Solution Approach 2:
The legs are divided into multiple adjustable sections that can be independently modified. The bracket assemblies are separate components that can be adjusted independently on each leg, allowing precise control over each corner of the board to achieve proper leveling on uneven surfaces.
2Manufacturing precision
If adjustable bracket assemblies are added to achieve proper leveling, then leveling accuracy improves, but the setup time and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket guides are pre-designed with specific vertical adjustment ranges and the legs are pre-configured with adjustable sections. This preliminary design allows users to quickly make the necessary adjustments without complex calculations or procedures, reducing setup time while maintaining high leveling accuracy.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the leg width is reduced to fit standard board dimensions, then the board fits standard sizes, but the leg becomes less stable and harder to adjust
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustable bracket assemblies compensate for the reduced leg width by providing vertical adjustment capability. This allows the thin legs to maintain proper positioning and stability through precision adjustment rather than relying on leg thickness for structural stability.
