Furniture Drive Assembly Stop for Precise Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing furniture drives are difficult to position accurately and efficiently on or in a furniture body, requiring significant effort and resulting in imprecise assembly, which affects the proper movement of movable furniture parts.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a movable assembly stop that can be placed on the furniture body, allowing the drive unit to be positioned at a predetermined location, with the option to pivot or slide between positions, and being easily replaceable if damaged, facilitating standardized and simplified installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a furniture drive is positioned on or in a furniture body using a ruler and pencil, then the installation can be performed, but the positioning precision is poor and requires great effort
Solution Approach 1:
The assembly stop is pre-configured on the drive unit at a predetermined position that corresponds to the correct installation location on the furniture body. This preliminary positioning feature eliminates the need for manual measurement and marking during installation, allowing the drive unit to be directly positioned at the correct location by simply placing the assembly stop against the furniture body surface.
Solution Approach 2:
The assembly stop acts as an intermediary element between the drive unit and the furniture body. It serves as a positioning mediator that transfers the predetermined correct position from the drive unit design to the actual installation location on the furniture body, ensuring accurate positioning without requiring the installer to directly measure and mark the exact position.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the assembly stop is made movable between positions, then the installation flexibility is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The assembly stop is designed with movable mounting that allows it to pivot or slide between a first position (where it is received in a recess of the drive unit) and a second position (where it protrudes to contact the furniture body). This dynamic capability provides installation flexibility while maintaining relatively simple construction through pivot pins or sliding mechanisms.
