Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems fail to provide a non-support wall configuration that allows for the natural attachment and easy replacement of various structures or articles using a metal panel, without leaving any marks on the wall.

Innovation Solution

A system comprising a wall part, a bracket attached to the wall part, a support attached to the bracket, and a hole-machined metal panel that corresponds to the support, where a decoration part is inserted into the support protruding from the metal panel, and fixed using a fixing screw part.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If a bracket is riveted to the wall to support structures, then the support strength is improved, but the wall surface is damaged with visible marks

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupport strengthVSAvoidwall surface damage
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The invention extracts the support function from traditional wall-riveted brackets and transfers it to a self-supporting panel structure. The panel contains integrated support protrusions that extend from its surface, allowing structures to be supported directly by the panel itself rather than by brackets attached to the wall. This eliminates the need for wall penetration and preserves the wall surface integrity while maintaining support capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The panel acts as an intermediary element between the wall and the supported structures. Instead of directly attaching brackets to the wall, the panel is first attached to the wall (using minimal fasteners hidden at the back), and then the support protrusions on the panel provide the actual support function. This intermediary panel shields the wall from direct structural attachment, preventing visible marks on the wall surface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If traditional brackets are used to support structures, then the support function is achieved, but the structures cannot be easily replaced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupport functionVSAvoidstructure replacement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The support system is segmented into separable components: the panel remains fixed to the wall, while the supported structures are attached to removable support protrusions. The support protrusions can be independently detached from the panel, allowing the supported structures to be easily replaced without removing the entire bracket system or damaging the wall. Each support protrusion functions as an independent attachment point that can be quickly installed and removed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Shape

If the fixing panel length is smaller than the support panel length to hide the bracket, then the aesthetic appearance is improved, but the bracket cannot provide sufficient support

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaesthetic appearanceVSAvoidsupport capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The invention inverts the traditional relationship between the bracket and support panel. Instead of having the bracket extend beyond the support panel (which would be visible), the support panel extends beyond the bracket attachment area. The support protrusions emerge from the panel surface rather than being part of a separate bracket structure, allowing the panel itself to provide support while maintaining aesthetic appearance by hiding all attachment elements at the back of the panel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)
