Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mounting devices for door leaves lack the ability to adjust independently in both directions along and transverse to the longitudinal direction of the support, and the setting devices cannot be actuated from one side, making installation difficult.

Innovation Solution

A mounting device with a first and second mounting part that are adjustable relative to each other and the support, featuring vertical and lateral setting devices with screw-shaped elements that can be actuated from the same direction, allowing for easy adjustment in both horizontal and vertical directions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If two separate setting devices are used to adjust the holding device in directions along and transverse to the longitudinal direction of the support, then the holding device can be positioned in both directions, but the setting operation becomes more difficult because the devices cannot be actuated from one side

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustment capability in both directionsVSAvoidsetting operation difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines two separate setting devices into a single integrated setting device that can adjust the holding device in both directions (along and transverse to the longitudinal direction of the support). This merging allows both adjustment functions to be actuated from one side, simplifying the setting operation while maintaining bidirectional adjustment capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The setting device is designed with multi-functionality, enabling a single device to perform both longitudinal and transverse adjustments of the holding device. This universal design eliminates the need for separate setting devices and allows all adjustments to be made from one side, improving ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Manufacturing precision

If the holding device is made adjustable in both directions, then the door leaf can be precisely positioned relative to the furniture carcass, but the structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning precision of door leafVSAvoidmounting device structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

By merging the two setting devices into one integrated unit, the patent reduces structural complexity while maintaining the capability for precise positioning in both longitudinal and transverse directions. The combined design eliminates redundant components and simplifies the overall mounting device structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The setting device is segmented into functional modules that can be independently adjusted, allowing precise positioning while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure. The segmentation enables controlled adjustment in each direction without requiring complex independent mechanisms for each degree of freedom.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Amounting device includes a support and a separate holding device. An installation device releasably secures the holding device to the support, and the holding device has at least two furniture hinges mutually spaced in the longitudinal direction of the holding device, and/or securing interfaces for securing furniture hinges. The door leaf can be supported on the holding device in an articulated manner by the furniture hinge, and the holding device includes a first mounting part, on which the at least two furniture hinges and/or securing interfaces are arranged, and a second mounting part to be arranged between the first mounting part and the support. The two mounting parts can be adjusted relative to each other, and the second mounting part can be adjusted relative to the support.
