Lampshade Covering Detachable Frame Hook Loop Fastening
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional lampshades for deck lamps have non-detachable frame structures and non-collapsible coverings, leading to increased storage and delivery costs due to space inefficiency, and limited design flexibility.
Innovation Solution
The use of hook and loop materials, such as Velcro, to detachably fasten the lampshade covering to the top and bottom frames, allowing for separate storage and easy replacement of the covering.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the frame structure is made non-detachable and the covering is made non-collapsible, then the lampshade structure is simple and stable, but the storage space requirement increases and delivery cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The lampshade is divided into separate components: a detachable frame structure and a separate covering. The frame can be disassembled into multiple parts (top frame ring, bottom frame ring, and intermediate frames) that can be stored separately from the covering, significantly reducing storage space while maintaining structural stability when assembled.
Solution Approach 2:
The lampshade transitions from a static, fixed structure to a dynamic, reconfigurable structure. The frame rings can be detached and reattached, and the covering can be removed and reattached, allowing the lampshade to be collapsed into a compact form for storage and then dynamically reassembled into its functional three-dimensional shape when needed.
2Ease of manufacture
If the frame structure is made non-detachable, then the assembly is simple, but the design flexibility and adaptability are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The frame is segmented into multiple detachable rings (top frame ring, bottom frame ring, and intermediate frames) that can be independently manufactured and assembled. This segmentation allows for greater design flexibility as each component can be customized or replaced while maintaining the overall lampshade structure, whereas a monolithic non-detachable frame would limit design variations.
Solution Approach 2:
The detachable frame rings and covering components serve multiple functions: they can be assembled to create different lampshade shapes and sizes, the same components can be used with different coverings for various designs, and the modular structure allows for easy repair and replacement. This multi-functionality increases adaptability while keeping individual components simple to manufacture.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the covering is permanently fastened to the frame, then the structure is stable, but the ease of replacement and customization is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The covering attachment system transitions from a permanent fixed connection to a dynamic reversible connection. The covering can be easily attached to and detached from the frame rings using simple fastening mechanisms, allowing for easy replacement and customization while maintaining stable attachment when in use. This dynamic attachment enables users to swap coverings for different designs or repair purposes without requiring complex disassembly procedures.

Function Achieved in This Case
This solution reduces storage and delivery costs by allowing the frames and covering to be detached for compact packing and enables design flexibility through replaceable lampshade covers.
Implementation Method 1
the lampshade covering is fastened to the top lampshade frame and the bottom lampshade frame by means of Velcro

AI summary
A lampshade includes a top lampshade frame (2), a bottom lampshade frame (1), a lampshade covering (3) covering the top lampshade frame and the bottom lampshade frame, hook materials (12,22) (or loop materials) provided at the top lampshade frame and the bottom lampshade frame, and loop materials (32,34) (or hook materials) provided at the lampshade covering and detachably fastened to the hook materials (or loop materials) to secure the lampshade covering to the top lampshade frame and the bottom lampshade frame.
