Multi-Spotlight Floor Lamp Stem Adjustability

Solution Overview

Problem

There is a lack of electric floor lamps that utilize multiple spotlights as a source of lighting, limiting the flexibility and effectiveness of lighting for specific tasks or area illumination.

Innovation Solution

A standalone multi-spotlight electric floor lamp with a base supporting a hollow stem, featuring a first spotlight connected via a pivotal and swivel connection at one end, a second spotlight between the central area and the end, and a third spotlight equidistant from the second spotlight, allowing for adjustable positioning of the lights through flexible conduit and adjustable connections.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional single spotlight or general area lighting is used, then the lighting structure is simple, but the lighting flexibility and directed illumination capability are limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvelighting flexibilityVSAvoidlighting structure

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The lighting system is divided into multiple independent spotlight units (first spotlight, second spotlight, third spotlight) positioned at different locations along the stem. Each spotlight can be independently adjusted and positioned to illuminate different areas, providing flexible directed lighting while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The spotlights are arranged in a vertical distribution along the stem rather than being concentrated at a single point. This vertical dimensionality allows each spotlight to cover different height zones and areas, enhancing lighting flexibility and coverage without requiring complex horizontal adjustment mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Area of stationary object

If multiple spotlights are added to enhance illumination coverage, then the lighting coverage and directed illumination improve, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvelighting coverage areaVSAvoidnumber of lighting components

Core Design Contradiction:

Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The lighting system is divided into multiple independent spotlight units (first spotlight, second spotlight, third spotlight) positioned at different locations along the stem. Each spotlight can be independently adjusted and positioned to illuminate different areas, providing flexible directed lighting while maintaining a relatively simple structure.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Each spotlight unit serves multiple functions: it provides directed illumination for specific tasks, contributes to overall area lighting coverage, and can be independently adjusted for different lighting scenarios. This multi-functionality maximizes the utility of each component without requiring additional specialized systems.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A stand alone multi-spotlight electric floor lamp having a hollow stem having an axis and carrying electrical wiring to the spotlights wherein the first spotlight is secured to the top of the hollow stem by a pivotal connection permitting the spotlight to be positioned in a plane orthogonal to the axis of the stem and by a swivel connection permitting the spotlight to be positioned in a plane parallel to the axis and two additional spotlights adjustably secured to the stem displaced from the first spotlight.
