Label apparatus for peg hook
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic shelf labels (ESLs) installed on cantilever-type peg hooks interfere with the hanging and removal of products, making it difficult to manage prices and information on display stands effectively.
Innovation Solution
A label apparatus for peg hooks featuring a detachable holder with engaging portions and clamping mechanisms that allow secure attachment without obstructing product placement, combined with a body design that minimizes interference with the peg hook structure.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If an electronic shelf label (ESL) is installed on a peg hook, then price and information management is improved, but product hanging and removal operations become difficult due to interference
Solution Approach 1:
The label apparatus is divided into a detachable holder portion and a body portion. The holder can be attached to or separated from the peg hook independently, allowing the label to be mounted on the hook without permanently obstructing product handling operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The holder is designed with dynamic attachment capability, allowing it to be fixed to the peg hook when information display is needed and removed when product handling is required. This dynamic configuration resolves the conflict between information management and operational ease.
2Loss of information
If a label apparatus is attached to a peg hook, then information display is achieved, but the structure interferes with product placement on the hook
Solution Approach 1:
By separating the label apparatus into a detachable holder and a fixed body, the system maintains adaptability. The holder can be positioned to minimize interference with product placement, while the body remains securely attached for continuous information display.
Solution Approach 2:
The detachable holder acts as an intermediary between the label apparatus and the peg hook. It provides a mounting mechanism that allows the label to be displayed without permanently altering the peg hook's functionality for product placement.
3Reliability
If a secure attachment mechanism is used to fix the label apparatus to the peg hook, then reliability of attachment is improved, but the mechanism may obstruct product hanging operations
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment system is segmented into a detachable holder with engaging portions and the peg hook structure. This segmentation allows the holder to be securely attached when needed while enabling easy detachment to restore full product handling capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The detachable holder can be discarded (removed) from the peg hook when product handling operations require unobstructed access, and recovered (reattached) when information display is needed, balancing attachment reliability with operational ease.
