Solution Overview

Problem

There is a lack of available options for mounting generic massage guns, requiring a secondary individual to position and hold the device for massaging purposes, which limits user independence in self-administered massage applications.

Innovation Solution

A massage gun mounting system comprising a structure connector and a massage gun holder, allowing secure and adjustable attachment to various mounting structures, enabling the user to position the massage gun for self-administered massage without the need for a secondary person.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If no mounting system is provided, then the device requires a secondary individual to position and hold it, but this reduces user independence and convenience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser independenceVSAvoidmounting system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting system is divided into separate components: a mounting structure attached to a support surface, a mounting device that interfaces with the massage gun, and adjustable positioning mechanisms. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function while maintaining overall system simplicity and user independence

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting system enables the user to independently position and secure the massage gun without requiring assistance from another person. The self-adjusting mechanisms and easy-attach design allow the user to operate the system autonomously, directly improving ease of operation and user independence

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed mounting position is used, then the device is easy to secure, but it cannot adapt to different massage locations and body areas

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting position flexibilityVSAvoidsecure attachment
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting device incorporates adjustable positioning mechanisms that allow dynamic repositioning of the massage gun along the mounting structure. This enables the user to adapt the massage gun location to different body areas while maintaining secure attachment through adjustable clamping or locking mechanisms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting system is designed to accommodate various massage gun models and support multiple mounting positions on different surfaces. This universal design provides adaptability for different massage locations while maintaining reliable attachment across various configurations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of operation

If a removable mounting system is used, then the device can be repositioned easily, but it may reduce the stability during use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverepositioning easeVSAvoidmounting stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting device features adjustable components that can be easily repositioned during setup, then locked into place to provide stable mounting. The dynamic adjustment capability allows easy repositioning while the locking mechanism ensures stability during actual massage use

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting system is configured to allow preliminary positioning and adjustment before final securing. This enables the user to easily reposition the massage gun during setup, then firmly attach it for stable operation during use

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
