Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional hanging frames for hand tools cannot be conveniently mounted on the sidewall of a tool cabinet or display frame without using fasteners or hooks, making them inconvenient for use.
Innovation Solution
A magnetic hanging frame with a track disc, holding elements, and magnetic devices that allow for secure attachment to a sidewall using magnetic forces, eliminating the need for fasteners or hooks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional hanging frames use fasteners or hooks for mounting, then the mounting is secure and reliable, but the mounting process becomes complex and requires additional fastening components
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical fastening system (screws, hooks, or clips) with a magnetic field-based mounting system. The magnetic devices generate magnetic attraction force that acts on the sidewall to secure the hanging frame, eliminating the need for mechanical fasteners and simplifying the mounting structure while maintaining secure attachment
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the mounting mechanism from mechanical interaction to magnetic field interaction. By utilizing magnetic attraction force as the mounting parameter, the system achieves secure mounting without requiring physical fastening components, thereby reducing structural complexity
2Reliability
If conventional hanging frames are mounted inside the tool cabinet, then the tools are protected, but the cabinet space is occupied and reduces storage capacity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions the mounting location from the interior space of the tool cabinet to the exterior sidewall surface. By utilizing the vertical sidewall surface as the mounting dimension, the hanging frame achieves tool protection and organization without consuming any internal storage volume of the cabinet
3Ease of operation
If magnetic devices are added to the hanging frame, then the mounting becomes simpler and fastener-free, but the device complexity increases due to additional magnetic components
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the mounting function from the main hanging frame structure and implements it as separate, integrated magnetic devices. This modular approach allows the magnetic mounting components to be independently designed and positioned, simplifying the overall assembly process while maintaining functional integration

AI summary
A magnetic hanging frame for hand tools has a track disc, at least one holding element and at least two magnetic devices. The track disc has a baseboard, a track formed on and protruding from a front surface of the baseboard and a mounting rack formed on and protruding from a rear surface of the baseboard. The at least one holding element is slidably mounted on the track. The at least two magnetic devices are connected to the track disc, and each one of the at least two magnetic devices has a magnet mount and two locating mounts. The magnet mount is mounted in the mounting rack and has a magnetic body and two extending wings. The locating mounts are mounted in the mounting rack beside the magnet mount, abut against the magnet mount and each one of the locating mounts has a locating groove and a middle protrusion.
