Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing light therapy devices lack a versatile and efficient stand that allows for easy positioning and configuration of multiple devices in various orientations, limiting their effectiveness and user convenience.
Innovation Solution
A wheeled light therapy device stand with a center platform and side rails, featuring a riser section and attachment assembly that enables the removable connection of up to four light therapy devices in different configurations, including 2-high and 2-wide stacked arrangements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple light therapy devices are linked together vertically using posts and keyhole openings, then the devices can be connected, but the connection process is complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is divided into separate modular components: a stand base, adjustable arms, and clamping mechanisms. Each component can be independently positioned and secured, allowing flexible configuration of multiple devices without complex inter-device connections. The stand base serves as a centralized hub from which all devices are mounted, simplifying the overall assembly process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a centralized stand base as an intermediary structure between the user and multiple light therapy devices. Instead of directly connecting devices to each other using keyhole openings, the stand base provides standardized mounting points and adjustable arms that facilitate easy positioning and securing of multiple devices in various configurations.
2Measurement precision
If light therapy devices are positioned manually without a stand, then positioning is simple, but accuracy and stability are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system incorporates adjustable arms with multiple positioning mechanisms including telescoping sections, rotating joints, and clamping features. These dynamic elements allow the arms to be adjusted to various lengths and angles, enabling precise positioning of devices while maintaining ease of operation through simple adjustment maneuvers rather than complex assembly procedures.
3Stability of the object's composition
If a fixed mounting structure is used for light therapy devices, then stability is achieved, but adaptability for different configurations is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The stand base is designed as a universal mounting structure that can accommodate multiple light therapy devices in various configurations (vertical stacking, horizontal side-by-side, or mixed arrangements). The adjustable arms with clamping mechanisms provide standardized interfaces that work with different device types and sizes, allowing the same stand to serve multiple functions and support diverse device arrangements while maintaining stability through its robust construction.

AI summary
A light therapy device stand includes a base, a telescoping extension arm, a receptacle connected to the extension arm, an elongated support bar, a plurality of sliding connectors, a plurality of connection rails, and a plurality of extension rails. Individual light therapy devices can be secured onto the support bar via the sliding connectors. Standard sized light therapy devices can be secured onto the support bar in a stacked configuration via the connection rails, and non-standard sized light therapy devices can be secured onto the support bar in a stacked configuration via the extension rails. The support bar rotates 90 degrees relative to the extension arm to transition each connected light therapy device between a vertical orientation and a horizontal orientation.
