Hidden Furniture Wall Bracket With Side-Access Height and Depth Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing hidden hanging brackets for furniture fail to ensure easy and secure assembly within non-complementary seats, provide accessible and reliable height and depth regulation, and maintain stability under stress, especially when integrated with articulating doors.
Innovation Solution
A shoulder-centre hanging bracket with a flat rectangular body composed of intercoupled half-shells containing a rotatable and translatable hooking arm, controlled by separate mechanisms for height and depth adjustment, and a box-shaped upright for secure fixation, allowing external access and resisting disengagement forces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the regulation mechanisms are contained fully inside the box-shaped body, then the device has a compact structure, but the mechanisms become difficult to access and maneuver from outside
Solution Approach 1:
The box-shaped body is divided into two separate half-shells that can be assembled and disassembled. This segmentation allows the regulation mechanisms to remain contained within the body for compactness while providing external access points through the half-shell openings for maneuvering the mechanisms from outside.
Solution Approach 2:
The half-shells act as intermediary structures that provide access channels. The access points in the half-shells serve as intermediaries between the external environment and the internal regulation mechanisms, allowing tools to reach the mechanisms without compromising the compact enclosed structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the device is inserted inside a seat of the furniture component, then the bracket provides hidden assembly, but the assembly becomes difficult if the seat is not perfectly complementary
Solution Approach 1:
The device body is segmented into two half-shells that can be separately assembled. This segmentation allows the device to be adapted to seats with slight dimensional variations, as the half-shells can be positioned and secured to accommodate non-perfectly complementary seats while maintaining the hidden assembly appearance.
Solution Approach 2:
The combination of the box-shaped body with access points and the upright component creates a universal mounting solution that can accommodate various seat configurations. The device maintains its hidden assembly function while being adaptable to different furniture component geometries.
3Reliability
If the device uses a firm fixing structure to prevent disengagement under stress, then the bracket provides stable support, but the structure becomes more complex and harder to assemble
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing structure is segmented into the box-shaped body and the separate upright component. This segmentation simplifies the overall assembly process while maintaining firm fixing capability, as each component can be optimized independently for its specific function while working together to provide stable support under stress.
