Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional guitar wall mounts lack uniformity and safety, as they require manual alignment and are not designed to be movable or detachable, leading to aesthetically unpleasing and unsafe installations.

Innovation Solution

A guitar wall mount with movable and detachable wall hanging units, comprising a fixed base with base rails and wall hanging units that are slidable and independently mountable, allowing for flexible arrangement and secure attachment to the wall using screws or wall anchors.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If conventional guitar wall mounts are manually aligned during installation, then they can be installed on the wall, but the uniformity and neatness of the arrangement is not satisfactory

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealignment uniformityVSAvoidinstallation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The wall mount system is divided into separate modular components: a fixed base with pre-installed base rails and detachable wall hanging units. Each unit can be independently positioned and attached to the rails, eliminating the need for manual alignment during installation while ensuring uniform spacing through the standardized rail system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Base rails serve as an intermediary component between the fixed base and wall hanging units. The rails provide a standardized interface with positioning features that automatically align wall hanging units, transforming the complex manual alignment process into a simple attach-detach operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If conventional guitar wall mounts are fixed in position, then they are stable, but when one mount falls sideways, adjacent mounts fall like dominoes, making them unsafe

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesafetyVSAvoidstructural rigidity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The wall mount system separates the fixed base (which remains stable on the wall) from the detachable wall hanging units. Each wall hanging unit can be independently removed or adjusted without affecting the stability of other units, eliminating the domino effect while maintaining overall system safety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions from a completely fixed structure to a dynamic configuration where wall hanging units can be easily attached and detached from the base rails. This allows individual units to be adjusted or removed without compromising the stability of the fixed base and other mounted units.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Shape

If conventional guitar wall mounts are manually arranged, then they can be installed, but the arrangement is not neat and aesthetically pleasing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvearrangement neatnessVSAvoidinstallation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses modular wall hanging units that can be independently positioned on the base rails at desired locations. This segmentation allows for flexible, aesthetically pleasing arrangements without requiring time-consuming manual alignment, as each unit can be quickly attached at its intended position.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The base rails serve as a universal mounting structure that can accommodate multiple wall hanging units at various positions. This multi-functional design enables users to create neat, customized arrangements by simply attaching units to the rails without complex adjustment procedures.

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

4Adaptability or versatility

If wall hanging units are made detachable and movable on base rails, then flexibility and ease of arrangement is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvearrangement flexibilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the wall mount into simple, standardized components: a fixed base, linear base rails, and modular wall hanging units. Each component has a straightforward function and interface, reducing individual component complexity while enabling flexible combinations through the standardized rail attachment mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A guitar wall mount having wall hanging units that are movable and detachable includes a fixed base and the wall hanging units. The fixed base includes base rails. The base rails are horizontally assembled in sequence. The wall hanging units are detachably mounted on the base rails, and the wall hanging units are slidable along the base rails. One or more base rails are selected according to requirements. The guitar wall mount is mounted to a wall by tools such as screws, wall anchors, etc. The wall hanging units are able to be combined in various ways to meet placement and hanging requirements of stringed instruments, so the stringed instruments are hung neatly and beautifully. The wall hanging units are detachably mounted on the base rails, so the wall hanging units are able to be mounted independently or mounted together according to needs.
