Pivotable Track Fixture Mounting Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fixture mounting assemblies face difficulties in efficiently and quickly connecting and positioning large format fixtures, such as display devices, due to complex and time-consuming installation processes.
Innovation Solution
A pivotable track system with a movable fixture mount and adjustable base mount, allowing the track to switch between upright and horizontal orientations for easy alignment and secure mounting of fixtures, facilitated by retainer components and locking mechanisms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the track is fixed in an upright orientation for wall mounting, then the mounting stability is improved, but the ease of connecting large format fixtures deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The track is designed to be dynamically reconfigurable between upright and horizontal orientations through a pivotable connection system. This allows the mounting structure to adapt its configuration based on operational needs: upright for stable mounting and horizontal for ease of fixture connection and positioning.
2Ease of operation
If the track is fixed in a horizontal orientation for easy fixture connection, then the ease of operation is improved, but the mounting stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The track system transitions from a static fixed-orientation design to a dynamic reconfigurable system that can switch between horizontal and upright positions, providing both operational ease and mounting stability at different stages of the installation process.
3Manufacturing precision
If complex mounting mechanisms are used to position large format fixtures, then the manufacturing precision is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention introduces a spatial dimension transformation by pivoting the track from horizontal to upright orientation, enabling precise positioning of large format fixtures without requiring complex adjustment mechanisms. The dimensional change itself provides the positioning capability.

AI summary
A fixture mounting assembly comprises a track; and a fixture mount on the track and configured to engage a fixture, the track being pivotable between a generally upright orientation and a generally horizontal orientation where engagement of the fixture mount and fixture is facilitated.
