Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional light strings require multiple units to achieve desired brightness, leading to cumbersome and time-consuming installation and removal processes, especially on rooftops, due to entanglement issues and the need for numerous fasteners, which increases cost and complexity.
Innovation Solution
An illuminating decorative device featuring a lattice or web of electrically conducting wires with integrated lights and a power strip, allowing for easy attachment and detachment as a single unit to various surfaces, including rooftops, using clamps and clamp extenders to secure the device in ornamental shapes like snow caps or spider webs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If multiple conventional light strings are used to achieve desired brightness, then illumination intensity is improved, but device complexity and installation difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple light strings into a single integrated decorative device with a unified power source and continuous wire structure. The lights are串led (series-connected) along a single wire that runs through the entire ornamental configuration, eliminating the need to connect multiple separate light strings together. This merging approach maintains high illumination intensity while reducing device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The single wire in the patent serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides structural support for the ornamental shape, acts as the electrical conductor for all lights, and enables easy installation as one continuous unit. This multi-functionality replaces the need for separate structural elements and electrical wiring that would be required with multiple light strings.
2Illumination intensity
If multiple conventional light strings are used to achieve desired brightness, then illumination intensity is improved, but installation time increases
Solution Approach 1:
By merging multiple light strings into a single integrated device with one continuous wire, the patent reduces installation time. The entire ornamental structure with all lights can be installed as one unit rather than connecting multiple separate strings, eliminating the time-consuming tasks of untangling, orienting, and securing multiple individual light strings.
Solution Approach 2:
The lights and wire are pre-assembled into the complete ornamental configuration during manufacturing. This preliminary action means that during installation, users only need to attach the pre-formed decorative shape to the surface, rather than assembling multiple light strings on-site. The complex wiring and structural arrangement are already completed before delivery.
3Illumination intensity
If multiple conventional light strings are used to achieve desired brightness, then illumination intensity is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple light strings into a single operational unit with one power connection point. This eliminates the need to connect multiple electrical plugs and manage multiple wires, significantly improving ease of operation. The entire decorative device can be powered by a single connection while maintaining high illumination intensity through the串led light arrangement.
4Reliability
If conventional light strings are used with multiple fasteners, then reliability of attachment is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the attachment function into a single integrated mounting mechanism rather than requiring multiple separate fasteners. The continuous wire structure allows for streamlined attachment methods that maintain reliability while reducing the number of individual fastening components needed throughout the decorative device.
