Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional guitar wall hangers require drilling large holes into walls, which is problematic for renters and landlords, and lack easy leveling capabilities.

Innovation Solution

A guitar hanger design that uses a single securing point, such as a drywall hook, to mount to the wall without damaging it significantly, and self-levels through a diamond configuration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If conventional wall hangers with multiple mounting holes are used, then secure mounting is achieved, but wall damage increases and installation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemounting securityVSAvoidwall damage

Core Design Contradiction:

StrengthVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the mounting function from multiple wall penetration points and concentrates it into a single mounting hole. The guitar hanger uses one central hole in the wall to support the entire device, eliminating the need for multiple mounting holes while maintaining structural security through a robust single-point attachment mechanism.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The guitar hanger design segments the support structure into a centralized mounting point that distributes the guitar's weight through internal structural elements rather than requiring multiple wall penetrations. The single wall-mounted support connects to internal bracing and arms that collectively bear the load.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Stability of the object's composition

If conventional wall hangers requiring multiple holes are used, then mounting stability is achieved, but installation time and precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemounting stabilityVSAvoidinstallation time

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the time-consuming process of marking, drilling, and securing multiple mounting holes by consolidating the entire mounting function into a single hole. This extraction of the multi-step mounting process into a single action dramatically reduces installation time and eliminates the need for precise positioning of multiple fasteners.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Reliability

If guitar cases are used for storage, then guitar protection is achieved, but space utilization decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveguitar protectionVSAvoidstorage space

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the enclosed mechanical protection system (guitar case) with a wall-mounted display system that provides structural support and protection through the wall hanger's frame and cradle structure. The guitar is protected by the hanger's design features such as the cradle that supports the body and the arms that secure the neck, eliminating the need for a case while maintaining protection.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

A guitar hanger features a housing having a guitar mount receiver, and a base member couplable to the housing, the base member having a receiving aperture and one or more anti-slip portions. The base member further includes one or more threaded receivers for receiving screws of a guitar mount that is coupled to the guitar mount receiver. A user may install a drywall hook, small screw, nail, or other wall anchor and may then hang the guitar hanger thereon by utilizing the receiving aperture on the base member. By utilizing a single securing point to the wall, less damage to the wall occurs and the guitar hanger self-levels.
