J-Hook Bracket Mount Markers for Fast Screw Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing j-hook hanger brackets require multiple keyholes for mounting, making it cumbersome to quickly and accurately mark and affix nails or screws to a surface for installation.
Innovation Solution
A device with a mounting member featuring strategically positioned mounting holes and positioning structures on the side face, which, when pressed against a surface, leave indented marks aligning with the mounting holes, facilitating precise marking and mounting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple keyholes are used for mounting the bracket, then the bracket can be affixed to multiple attachment points, but it becomes cumbersome to quickly and accurately mark and affix nails or screws to the surface
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by providing positioning structures (protrusions or markers) on the bracket that预先 indicate the exact locations where fasteners should be placed. These positioning structures are positioned at predetermined locations corresponding to the mounting holes, allowing users to quickly mark the surface without needing to measure or calculate positions, thus resolving the contradiction between multiple attachment points and ease of operation
2Device complexity
If traditional mounting holes are used without positioning structures, then the bracket structure remains simple, but the user must manually measure and mark positions for each screw or nail
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning structures are pre-positioned on the bracket at the exact locations where fasteners need to be applied. This preliminary arrangement of marking elements eliminates the time-consuming manual measurement and marking process, allowing users to simply press the bracket against the surface and transfer the pre-positioned marks directly, significantly reducing installation time while adding minimal structural complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The positioning structures serve as an intermediary element between the mounting holes and the user's marking action. Instead of the user directly measuring and marking positions, the positioning structures mediate this process by providing physical protrusions or visual markers that automatically indicate the correct locations, simplifying the installation process
