Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing music stands lack the ability to adjust the angle of the sheet music board to accommodate different viewing preferences and environments, limiting the flexibility and adaptability of musicians during performances.
Innovation Solution
A music stand with an adjusting component that allows for at least one degree of freedom, enabling the sheet music board to be angled as needed, and includes various fixing assemblies for different musical instruments and environments, such as a concert hall or traveling performances.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the sheet music board is fixed at a single angle, then the structure is simple and stable, but the adaptability to different viewing preferences and environments is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed sheet music board into an adjustable one. The support frame incorporates rotating joints and angle adjustment mechanisms that enable the sheet music board to change its orientation dynamically. This allows musicians to adjust the board to different viewing angles according to their preferences and performance environments, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The support frame is segmented into multiple independent components including base sections, support rods, and connecting joints. Each segment can move or adjust independently, allowing the overall structure to achieve multiple configurations. This segmentation enables angle adjustment while maintaining relative structural simplicity through modular design.
2Ease of operation
If the sheet music board is fixed relative to the support frame, then the manufacturing is simple, but the ease of operation for angle adjustment is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustability through rotating joints and connection mechanisms that allow easy angle changes during operation. These mechanisms are designed to be user-friendly while incorporating standard mechanical components that remain relatively simple to manufacture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables parameter changes by allowing the sheet music board to adjust its angular position. The adjustment mechanism uses standard mechanical components like rotating joints and locking mechanisms that change the operational parameter (angle) while keeping the manufacturing process relatively simple through the use of conventional parts.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the music stand is designed for specific instruments only, then the manufacturing is simpler, but the adaptability to different performance environments is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing the support frame with multiple fixing assemblies that can accommodate different musical instruments. The base section includes various mounting options (e.g., for brass instruments, woodwinds, percussion) within a single unified structure. This multi-functional design allows the same music stand to serve different instruments and performance environments without requiring multiple specialized designs.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing assembly is segmented into multiple independent mounting options, each designed for specific instrument types. These segmented fixing mechanisms can be selectively engaged or disengaged based on the performance requirements, allowing the stand to adapt to different instruments while maintaining an overall simple structural framework.
