Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional musical instrument holders are typically customized for specific instruments or equipment, making them incompatible with different instruments or sizes, resulting in the need for multiple holders, which is costly and space-consuming.

Innovation Solution

A quick-detachable and replaceable musical instrument holder featuring a vertical pipe, stand, quick-detachable seats, and rods, allowing for easy attachment and detachment of different holder bodies to accommodate various instruments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional holders are customized for specific instruments, then the holder can securely fix the specific instrument, but multiple holders are needed for different instruments, increasing cost and space occupation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompatibility with different instrumentsVSAvoidnumber of holders needed
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal holder base structure with a quick-detachable seat that can accommodate multiple types of musical instruments and equipment through interchangeable holder bodies. The standardized interface and mounting mechanism allow a single base holder to serve multiple functions, eliminating the need for separate customized holders for each instrument type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The holder system is divided into modular components: a fixed base structure and interchangeable holder bodies that can be quickly attached and detached. This segmentation allows users to keep one universal base and swap only the necessary holder body for each instrument, reducing the total number of holders needed while maintaining instrument-specific functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If conventional holders are customized for specific instruments, then the holder can be optimized for that instrument, but performers need to prepare multiple special holders, consuming more money

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstrument-specific optimizationVSAvoidcost of purchasing multiple holders
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The universal base holder with quick-detachable seat provides a cost-effective solution by allowing performers to invest in one high-quality base structure and multiple affordable holder bodies. This eliminates the need to purchase multiple expensive customized holders, reducing overall expenditure while maintaining instrument-specific optimization through the interchangeable bodies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Adaptability or versatility

If conventional holders are customized for specific instruments, then the holder can provide dedicated support, but multiple holders occupy more space

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvededicated instrument supportVSAvoidspace occupied by multiple holders
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the holder system into a permanent base structure and portable holder bodies, the patent allows users to store only the compact holder bodies when not in use, rather than storing multiple full-sized holders. The base structure occupies fixed space, while the interchangeable bodies can be stored in compact cases or on racks, significantly reducing the total space required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Ease of operation

If a quick-detachable structure is implemented, then holder bodies can be quickly replaced for different instruments, but the structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeed of holder replacementVSAvoidquick-detachable mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The quick-detachable seat incorporates a dynamic locking mechanism with movable latches that can be easily actuated to secure or release holder bodies. The mechanism uses spring-loaded components and cam-actuated latches that provide automatic engagement and secure locking with simple user input, achieving fast replacement without excessive complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The quick-detachable mechanism is designed to be self-securing through automatic latch engagement when a holder body is inserted. The spring-loaded latches automatically snap into place, and a simple release button or lever allows one-handed operation for both attachment and detachment, minimizing the complexity of user interaction while ensuring secure connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
