Removable Shelf Wall Mount Adaptor Using Rotating Crossbar Attachment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a reliable and easily assembled/disassembled shelf system that can be temporarily attached to or detached from a wall without permanently occupying the wall space, as existing solutions do not offer efficient and convenient options for such flexibility.
Innovation Solution
A wall mount adaptor system featuring a wire loop with front and back crossbars and removable shelves, where each shelf has an acutely angled bend that allows it to be securely attached and detached by rotating over the crossbars, utilizing a suction piece and base attachment for secure wall mounting and adjustable crossbar positions for versatile placement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If shelves are permanently attached to the wall, then stability and load-bearing capacity are improved, but flexibility and ease of removal deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The shelf system is divided into separate modular components: a wall attachment piece with crossbars, and removable shelf units. This segmentation allows the shelf to be easily detached from the wall while maintaining structural integrity when assembled, resolving the contradiction between permanent stability and removable flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The shelf system transitions from a static permanent installation to a dynamic removable system. The wall attachment piece remains fixed on the wall while shelf units can be dynamically added or removed as needed, providing both stability when in use and flexibility for reconfiguration.
2Strength
If shelves are permanently installed on the wall, then structural strength is improved, but ease of assembly and disassembly deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
By dividing the shelf system into a permanent wall attachment piece and removable shelf units, the system achieves strong structural connection to the wall while allowing easy assembly and disassembly of the shelf components themselves.
Solution Approach 2:
The wall attachment piece with crossbars serves as an intermediary between the wall and the removable shelves. It provides a robust mounting structure that simplifies the assembly process, as shelves can be easily attached to and removed from the crossbars without requiring wall modifications.
3Reliability
If the shelf system uses complex attachment mechanisms, then reliability of connection is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The connection mechanism is segmented into simple, standardized interfaces: the wall attachment piece provides fixed crossbars, and shelves have corresponding attachment points. This segmentation creates reliable connections through simplicity, avoiding complex mechanisms while ensuring secure attachment.

AI summary
A wall mount adaptor of embodiments of the disclosed technology includes a wire loop with a plurality of front and back crossbars and a plurality of removably attachable shelves. Each shelf of the plurality of shelves may be removably attached by placing a curved portion of the shelf over a front crossbar, passing a back portion of the shelf between the front crossbar and a back crossbar (such as a back crossbar which corresponds to the front crossbar), and rotating the shelf such that the back portion thereof abuts the back crossbar.
