Magnetic Wall Bracket for Quick-Release Product Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional brackets and holders do not allow for quick disconnection of devices or products from the bracket, making replacement, maintenance, or power source replacement difficult.
Innovation Solution
A bracket system with a magnetic coupling mechanism, where a ledge with a magnetic element is fixed to a vertical surface and a recess in the product contains a ferromagnetic element, allowing for secure yet quick disconnection by shifting the elements relative to each other.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional brackets use fixed mechanical connections, then secure placement is achieved, but quick disconnection becomes impossible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical fastening systems (screws, clips, latches) with a magnetic coupling system. The magnetic elements create an invisible field-based connection that provides secure holding force while allowing effortless separation by overcoming the magnetic attraction, thus achieving both security and quick disconnection.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes the controllable nature of magnetic force parameters. By adjusting magnetic element strength, size, and configuration, the system achieves optimal balance between holding force for secure placement and the threshold force needed for quick separation, enabling both contradictory requirements to be satisfied.
2Productivity
If conventional brackets use permanent fixed connections, then stability on vertical surface is maintained, but device replacement becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex mechanical fastening mechanisms with simple magnetic elements integrated into the bracket structure. This substitution dramatically simplifies the connection mechanism while enabling rapid device replacement, as users only need to overcome magnetic attraction rather than manipulate multiple mechanical components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the fastening function from complex mechanical systems and implements it through dedicated magnetic elements. This extraction allows the connection mechanism to be simplified to its essential function of holding and releasing, achieving both speed and simplicity.
3Force
If magnetic elements are made strong for secure connection, then disconnection force increases, but if made weak for easy disconnection, then holding security decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent optimizes magnetic element parameters (strength, size, material properties) to achieve the ideal balance. By carefully selecting and adjusting these parameters, the system creates a magnetic force that is sufficiently strong for secure holding during normal use but can be easily overcome by simple manual separation, satisfying both security and ease of disconnection.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent designs the magnetic coupling with slightly excessive holding force for normal operation, but this excess is deliberately calibrated to be just enough to ensure security while remaining easily overcome during intentional disconnection. The system operates in the optimal range where magnetic force provides security without creating excessive separation force.

Function Achieved in This Case
Enables quick and secure disconnection of devices or products from the bracket, facilitating easy replacement or maintenance while maintaining stability on a vertical surface.
Implementation Method 1
the ledge comprises at least one magnetic element, and the recess holds an opposite ferromagnetic element, so that said opposite element contacts the magnetic element to create a magnetic coupling
