Adjustable suspendable decorative artificial tree system and assembly for windows, corners, and walls
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional Christmas trees and artificial trees are limited by their need for floor space and lack of adjustability, stability, and ease of setup, making them unsuitable for small spaces or unique placements like windows and corners.
Innovation Solution
An adjustable artificial Christmas tree assembly with modular vertical extenders, adjustable branches, and a hanging mechanism that allows for customizable configurations to fit various spaces, including windows and corners, while maintaining aesthetic appeal and functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional Christmas trees are designed to stand upright on the floor, then they provide a full-sized appearance and festive atmosphere, but they require dedicated floor space and limit placement options
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions the tree from a floor-standing three-dimensional object to a wall-mounted or corner-mounted structure that utilizes vertical wall space instead of horizontal floor space. The tree assembly includes a backboard that mounts to walls or window frames, allowing the tree to extend outward from the wall surface rather than occupying floor area.
2Adaptability or versatility
If Christmas trees are made fixed in size and configuration, then they are simple to manufacture, but they cannot adapt to different space constraints or placement locations
Solution Approach 1:
The tree is divided into multiple modular components including a backboard, vertical support members, horizontal support members, and detachable branches. Each component can be independently assembled and configured. The vertical and horizontal support members can be positioned at different locations on the backboard, and branches can be attached at various heights and angles, allowing customization for different space requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates adjustable and detachable elements throughout the tree structure. The vertical and horizontal support members can be repositioned along the backboard, branches can be detached and reattached at different locations, and the overall tree configuration can be modified to suit different wall spaces, window frames, or corner placements.
3Ease of operation
If Christmas trees are designed for permanent installation, then they provide stability, but they are difficult to set up and take down for routine use
Solution Approach 1:
The tree is constructed from multiple detachable components that can be easily assembled and disassembled. The backboard mounts to the wall or window frame using simple mounting hardware, vertical and horizontal support members attach to the backboard at adjustable positions, and branches can be detached from the support members. This modular design allows for quick setup and takedown while maintaining structural stability when assembled.
