Adjustable Illuminating Device Threaded Stub Nut Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional waterproof illuminating devices have a complex structure and are not adjustable in angle after being secured to a ceiling or wall, limiting their flexibility and usability.
Innovation Solution
The device features an illuminating assembly with a connection element having a threaded stub and a holding base with a nut, allowing for adjustable angle arrangement by screwing the nut onto the threaded stub, enabling easy adjustment and secure attachment to various surfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional fixing bases are securely attached to ceiling or wall with fasteners, then the illuminating device is firmly fixed, but the arrangement angle cannot be adjusted after installation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static fixed attachment into a dynamic adjustable system by introducing a threaded stub on the connection element and a corresponding nut on the holding base. This allows the illuminating assembly to be securely attached while enabling angle adjustment through threading mechanisms, resolving the contradiction between firm fixation and angle adjustability.
2Reliability
If conventional illuminating device uses complex structure with multiple fixing bases, then the attachment is secure, but the device complexity increases and cost rises
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the functions of multiple fixing bases into a single integrated holding base with a nut mechanism. This consolidation maintains secure attachment capability while significantly reducing structural complexity and component count, thereby lowering manufacturing costs without compromising reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The holding base with nut is designed to serve multiple functions: secure attachment to ceiling or wall, angle adjustment of the illuminating assembly, and potential repositioning. This multi-functionality replaces the need for separate fixing bases, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining attachment security.

AI summary
An illuminating device has an illuminating assembly and a holding base. The illuminating assembly has a connection element mounted on a top of the illuminating assembly and has a threaded stub formed on and protruding from a top of the connection element. The holding base is connected with the illuminating assembly and has a base body and a nut. The base body a central hole, two fixing holes, and two fasteners. The central hole is defined through the base body and through which the threaded stub of the connection element extends. The fixing holes are defined through the holding base. The fasteners are mounted respectively through the two fixing holes and are adapted to be securely attached to a ceiling or a wall. The nut is screwed with the threaded stub on the connection element.
