Laser-Engraved Pendant Lamp With Integrated Hanging Hook
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Household lamps lack versatility in both form and function, failing to provide both decorative and practical uses that align with modern interior design aesthetics and customer preferences.
Innovation Solution
A pendant device featuring a laser-engraved graphical pattern, comprising a base member with a power element, a lighting member, a hollow spherical shell, and a cap member with a ring-shaped spring hanging element, allowing for both decorative and utility functions by providing illumination and a hook for hanging objects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If household lamps are designed with multiple functions and styles, then versatility and adaptability are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The pendant device integrates multiple functions into a single unit: it provides illumination through the lighting member, decorative function through the laser-engraved shell, and hanging utility through the hook element. This multi-functionality approach resolves the contradiction by achieving versatility without requiring multiple separate devices, thereby managing complexity through integration rather than proliferation of components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the lighting function, decorative shell, power element, and hanging hook into a single integrated pendant device. By merging these previously separate elements into one unified structure, the design achieves versatility (lighting + decoration + hanging) while controlling complexity through consolidation rather than assembly of multiple independent devices.
2Ease of repair
If a removable piece is added to expose the battery, then ease of repair and maintenance is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The base member is segmented into a main body and a removable piece that can be detached to expose the battery. This segmentation allows easy access to the power element for replacement or charging without disassembling the entire device, improving ease of repair while adding only a simple modular component rather than complex access mechanisms.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The pendant device offers enhanced visual appeal through laser-engraved designs and functional versatility, serving both decorative and practical purposes by enabling hanging from various locations and accommodating additional objects, thus meeting modern design and user expectations.
Implementation Method 1
a graphical pattern formed by laser engraving on the shell member's circumferential wall
Implementation Method 2
a lighting member configured on top of and electrically connected to the power element of the base member
Implementation Method 3
The cap member has a hanging element which is a ring-shaped spring

AI summary
The pendant device contains the following components. A base member contains a power element having at least a battery to provide electricity to the pendant device. A lighting member is configured on top of and electrically connected to the power element of the base member. A hollow, transparent, and spherical shell member is made of a plastic material and is joined to the base member. The shell member has a bottom opening and a graphical pattern formed by laser engraving on the shell member's circumferential wall. The lighting member is mainly housed inside the shell member. A cap member is configured on top of the shell member. The cap member has a hanging element which is a ring-shaped spring. The hanging element allows the pendant device to be conveniently hung from all places. The hook element can be used to hang objects such as a Christmas stocking.
