Foldable Wig Stand with Hinged Head and Leg Frames for Compact Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wig stands require assembly and disassembly each time they are used or stored, causing inconvenience due to separate head and leg parts.
Innovation Solution
A foldable wig stand design where the head part and leg frames are collapsibly coupled, allowing for easy mounting, stable support, and efficient storage by unfolding for use and folding for storage, with hinged structures and locking mechanisms ensuring stability and compactness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If the head part and leg part are separated for storage, then storage space utilization is improved, but assembly and disassembly operations become necessary causing inconvenience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the head part and leg part into a single integrated structure where the head part is hinged to the leg frame, allowing the entire wig stand to fold into a compact configuration for storage while remaining assembled and ready for immediate use. This eliminates the need for separate assembly and disassembly operations while achieving space-efficient storage.
2Ease of operation
If the head part and leg part are combined into a single structure, then assembly convenience is improved, but storage space utilization deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic folding capability to the combined structure through hinge joints connecting the head part to the leg frame. This allows the integrated wig stand to transition between an extended operational configuration and a folded compact configuration, providing both assembly convenience and space-efficient storage without compromise.
3Volume of moving object
If the leg frames are made foldable for compact storage, then storage space utilization is improved, but structural stability may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates locking mechanisms that automatically engage when the leg frames are extended to their operational position, preliminarily securing the structure before use. This ensures that while the leg frames are foldable for compact storage, they achieve stable locked positioning when deployed, maintaining structural integrity during wig support operations.

AI summary
A foldable wig stand includes: a head part configured to support a wig while being inserted into the inside of the wig; and a leg part supporting the head part and including a first leg frame and a second leg frame. Both side ends of the head part are hinged to both upper sides of the first leg frame and are rotatable in a first direction. The first leg frame and the second leg frame are hinged to each other at upper and lower central intersection portions, and are configured to be rotatable in a second direction different from the first direction.
