Modular Interior Fitting Framework with Laser Templates
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing interior fitting solutions for business premises, particularly multimedia and IT companies, face challenges in producing a stable and precisely adapted support structure and wall cladding with high manual effort and susceptibility to errors, especially due to inaccurate measurements and complex on-site production processes.
Innovation Solution
A modular design for the supporting structure comprising a substructure with anchorage, templates, and angle profiles, along with a superstructure featuring standardized components and adjustment devices, minimizes manual effort and errors by using laser-precision templates and angle profiles with C-shaped cross sections for precise alignment and connection, eliminating the need for on-site measurement and welding.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If support structures are produced on site with complex manual processes, then adaptability to local conditions is improved, but manufacturing precision and reliability deteriorate due to measurement errors and high craftsmanship requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by creating a template on the construction site that defines all reference points and dimensions before the actual support structure production. This template serves as a pre-planned guide that transfers measurement information to the manufacturing process, eliminating the need for repeated on-site measurements and ensuring consistent dimensional accuracy throughout construction.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses copying by creating a detailed template that replicates the desired final structure's geometry and reference points. This template acts as a copy of the design intent that can be repeatedly referenced during construction, ensuring that all components are manufactured and assembled with the correct dimensions without requiring high-level craftsmanship judgment.
2Manufacturing precision
If standardized components are used for superstructure, then manufacturing precision is improved, but adaptability to local conditions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent achieves universality by designing a template system that can accommodate various local conditions while maintaining standardized component interfaces. The template adapts to site-specific reference points and dimensions, yet all support structures connect through standardized nodes and components, allowing precise manufacturing to be combined with adaptability to different construction environments.
3Adaptability or versatility
If on-site measurement and definition of nodes is performed manually, then adaptability to local conditions is improved, but productivity and time efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by performing all measurement and node definition work before construction begins. The template is created in advance with all reference points, dimensions, and node locations clearly marked, eliminating the need for repeated on-site measurements during installation and significantly accelerating the construction process.
4Adaptability or versatility
If complex manual processes are used for substructure production, then adaptability to local conditions is improved, but loss of time and technical effort deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses copying by creating a comprehensive template that captures all local condition adaptations in a reusable format. This template serves as a master copy that guides the entire construction process, eliminating the need for continuous manual measurement and adjustment activities, thereby reducing both time consumption and technical effort while maintaining adaptability.

AI summary
An interior fitting for business premises consists of a supporting framework 1, composed of a bottom structure 2 and a top structure 3 and a wall cladding 4. The bottom structure 2 in turn consists of an anchorage 9 in the concrete floor 8, a template 5 positioned on the concrete floor 8 and comprising dimensional specifications for the top structure 3, a base plate 6 disposed spaced from the template 5, and an angle profile 7 fixed to the base plate 6 for connecting the top structure 3.
