Guitar Modulator Stand With Sliding Grommet Layout Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing devices for organizing guitar modulators lack customization options and have a difficult, time-consuming process for attaching and detaching modulators, limiting their layout flexibility and usability.
Innovation Solution
A device comprising a face with holes, a bracket that allows grommets to slide, and a base for supporting the face, enabling quick and secure connection/disconnection of modulators and easy customization of their locations through a sliding grommet and peg system.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If modulators are attached to a fixed board with limited patterns, then the board structure is simple, but the customization potential is very limited
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket allows the grommet to slide along its length, enabling the modulator position to be dynamically adjusted rather than fixed. This dynamic positioning system provides multiple possible positions along the bracket, giving musicians the ability to customize their pedal layout while maintaining a relatively simple overall board structure.
2Ease of operation
If modulators are attached using a difficult and time-consuming process, then the connection is secure, but the attachment and detachment process is time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment system is segmented into separate functional components: the bracket provides the mounting structure, the grommet provides the connection interface, and the modulator is the attached device. This segmentation allows the grommet to be easily slid along the bracket for quick positioning and attachment, significantly reducing setup time while maintaining secure connection through the combined bracket-grommet-modulator assembly.

AI summary
One or more embodiments of a device for securing guitar modulators is shown. The device includes a face, a bracket, and a base. The face defines a hole that extends completely through the face with a first length in a first direction and a first width in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, wherein the first length is greater than the first width. The bracket connects under the face and extends in the first direction parallel to the hole and is configured to allow a grommet to slide along the bracket in the first direction. The base is configured to support the face.
