Jigsaw Puzzle Table with Adjustable Height for User Adaptability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing jigsaw puzzle tables have a fixed height that cannot be adjusted, leading to discomfort for users whose height does not match the table, resulting in a poor usage experience.
Innovation Solution
A jigsaw puzzle table design featuring a movable connection between a lower support and a board bracket, allowing the height of the puzzle board to be adjusted through mechanisms such as sliding-sleeving, threaded, or telescopic connections, with a positioning fastener to secure the desired height.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the puzzle table has a fixed height structure, then the manufacturing simplicity is maintained, but the adaptability to different user heights deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed height structure into an adjustable height structure. The support leg incorporates a telescopic mechanism with multiple segments that can extend and retract, allowing the table height to be dynamically adjusted to match different user heights. This resolves the contradiction by making the structure adaptable while maintaining reasonable complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the height parameter of the puzzle table. The adjustable support leg allows the height parameter to vary within a specific range, enabling the table to accommodate users of different heights. This directly addresses the adaptability issue while the adjustment mechanism keeps the overall structural complexity manageable.
2Ease of operation
If the puzzle table has an adjustable height mechanism, then the adaptability to different user heights is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the support leg into multiple telescopic segments that can independently extend and retract. Each segment has its own connection points and adjustment features, allowing the height to be adjusted in discrete steps. This segmentation makes the adjustment mechanism easier to operate while distributing the complexity across modular components rather than a single complex mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies the nested doll principle through the telescopic structure where one segment is inserted within another segment. The support leg consists of nested tubular elements that slide relative to each other, providing compact storage when retracted and extended length when needed. This nesting approach simplifies the adjustment mechanism by using straightforward sliding connections rather than complex linkage systems.

AI summary
A jigsaw puzzle table includes: a puzzle board; a board bracket, a lower support, and at least one bracket storage member. The puzzle board is mounted on a mounting end of the board bracket. The board bracket is mounted between the puzzle board and the lower support, the board bracket and the lower support are configured to support the puzzle board cooperatively. The at least one bracket storage member is configured to store puzzle pieces, and the at least one bracket storage member is supported by and movably mounted on the board bracket.
