Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional backdrop and lighting support systems lack the ability to simultaneously display multiple backdrops in different orientations and often result in a crowded and difficult-to-disassemble setup.
Innovation Solution
A backdrop-and-lighting hanging kit that allows users to construct a support assembly using existing devices, featuring accessory mounts that accommodate various support structures and enable modular construction for multiple backdrops and accessories.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional backdrop and lighting support systems are used, then the setup is simple and stable, but multiple backdrops cannot be displayed simultaneously in different orientations and the setup becomes crowded and difficult to disassemble
Solution Approach 1:
The clamp assembly is designed as a universal mounting structure that can attach to various support devices (telescopic poles, speaker stands, metal strips, existing walls/ceilings) and accommodate multiple backdrops in different orientations. The clamp body with adjustable clamping jaws and mounting holes enables a single device to perform multiple attachment functions, eliminating the need for different specialized fixtures for each backdrop or support type.
Solution Approach 2:
The support system is divided into modular components: multiple clamp assemblies that can be independently positioned and oriented, each capable of holding a separate backdrop. This segmentation allows each clamp to be adjusted and oriented independently to display multiple backdrops at different angles and positions without interfering with each other, while maintaining simple assembly and disassembly of individual modules.
2Adaptability or versatility
If additional accessories like lights are attached to the backdrop support system, then lighting functionality is added, but the setup becomes crowded and more difficult to disassemble
Solution Approach 1:
The clamp assembly incorporates universal mounting holes and attachment points that can accommodate various photography accessories (lights, cameras, monitors) in addition to backdrops. This multi-functional design allows accessories to be mounted on the same support structure without requiring separate dedicated mounts, maintaining a clean and organized workspace while avoiding setup crowding through proper spatial distribution of mounting points.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple support devices are used to accommodate accessories, then accessory mounting capability is improved, but the setup area becomes crowded and disassembly becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple accessory mounting functions are merged into a single integrated clamp assembly structure. The clamp body incorporates multiple mounting holes, attachment points, and support surfaces that can hold backdrops and various accessories simultaneously. This consolidation eliminates the need for multiple separate support devices, reducing the overall setup area occupation while maintaining full accessory mounting capability through vertical and horizontal space utilization within the single clamp structure.

AI summary
A backdrop-and-lighting hanging kit is a kit that allows the user to setup different photography backdrops and accessories in a single support assembly to maintain a clean setup and work space. The kit generally includes several elongated supports and accessory mounts. The elongated supports are existing support devices that help construct the desired support assembly. The accessory mounts connect the corresponding elongated supports together to construct the support assembly. The accessory mounts also facilitate the mounting of photography lights and accessories to the support assembly to maintain a clean and organized work space. Each of the accessory mounts includes a mount body, an accessory-attachment mechanism, and a support-attachment mechanism. The support-attachment mechanism allows the removable attachment of the mount body to an elongated support. The mount body supports the accessory-attachment mechanism and the mounted accessory. Further, the accessory-attachment mechanism allows the secure mounting of an accessory to the mount body.
