Hidden hanging-bracket with regulation from above equipped with a perfected Anti-disengagement device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing hidden hanging-brackets for wall cupboards require both height and depth regulation mechanisms and an anti-disengagement device, which increases complexity and cost, and cannot fit entirely within the 'sanitary space' when cupboards have minimal clearance between the wall and the cupboard.
Innovation Solution
A hidden hanging-bracket design with an anti-disengagement device operatively interconnected with a single vertical regulation mechanism, where the anti-disengagement device's encumbrance is contained within the hanging-bracket's thickness, allowing it to fit within the 'sanitary space' and eliminating the need for a separate depth regulation mechanism.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If an anti-disengagement device is operatively interconnected with both height and depth regulation mechanisms, then the anti-disengagement function is improved, but the device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the depth regulation mechanism from the system, making the anti-disengagement device autonomous with respect to depth regulation while maintaining interconnection with the height regulation mechanism. This reduces the number of required regulation mechanisms from two (height and depth) to one (height only), thereby reducing complexity and cost while preserving the anti-disengagement function through the autonomous depth-regulating components
2Reliability
If the anti-disengagement device is integrated with regulation mechanisms, then the anti-disengagement function is improved, but the encumbrance exceeds the available sanitary space
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the anti-disengagement device into functionally independent components: the height regulation mechanism (with which the device is operatively interconnected) and autonomous depth-regulating components (teeth, hooks, or lugs that function independently). This segmentation allows the encumbrance to be distributed and contained within the limited sanitary space, as the autonomous components do not require additional regulation mechanisms that would increase volume
3Manufacturing precision
If a depth regulation mechanism is included, then the regulation precision is improved, but the manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service through autonomous depth-regulating components (teeth, hooks, or lugs) that automatically perform depth regulation and anti-disengagement functions without requiring a separate depth regulation mechanism. These components function autonomously, eliminating the need for additional manually-operated depth regulation screws or mechanisms, thereby reducing manufacturing complexity and cost while maintaining adequate depth regulation precision for the application

AI summary
A hidden hanging-bracket with regulation from above, equipped with an anti-disengagement device of the type comprising: a base (51, 151) on which at least one mechanism (52, 152) is assembled, for regulating the height (vertical) of the hanging-bracket (50, 150), provided with at least one hooking element (67, 167) for hooking said hanging-bracket (50, 150) to a support (69, 169) fixed to a wall (P). According to the invention, vertical run-end elements (63, 163) and (67a, 167a) respectively, of the hanging bracket (50, 150), are inserted on said base (51, 151) and on said, hooking element (67,167), with respect to said support (69,169), said vertical run-end elements (63,163; 67a, 167a) being made operative by the regulation of said mechanism (52, 152).
