Rotatable Arm Support for Hands-Free Video Recording on Salon Chairs
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing hair salon and barber shop equipment does not allow professionals to record video or images of their work while performing tasks due to occupied hands, and similar challenges exist in other professions using chairs like medical and dental professionals, tattoo artists, and makeup artists.
Innovation Solution
A video or image recorder support arrangement comprising a horizontal and vertical arm structure, mounting, connecting, and holding arrangement, allowing for detachable and rotatable attachment to a chair, enabling hands-free recording from various angles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a professional holds a video or image recorder to record their work, then recording can be performed, but the professional cannot perform their work simultaneously because their hands are occupied
Solution Approach 1:
The support arrangement is attached to the chair itself, allowing the chair to support the recorder rather than requiring the professional to hold it. This enables hands-free recording while the professional performs their work on the customer.
Solution Approach 2:
The support arrangement acts as an intermediary between the chair and the recorder, providing a mounting structure that allows the recorder to be positioned and held in place without requiring the professional's hands.
2Device complexity
If the recorder is positioned fixedly, then the structure is simple, but the recorder cannot capture different angles or viewpoints of the work process
Solution Approach 1:
The support arrangement includes rotatable and adjustable components that allow the recorder to be dynamically repositioned to different angles and viewpoints while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The support arrangement is divided into multiple segments including a mounting structure attached to the chair, an arm structure for positioning, and a holding arrangement for the recorder. This segmentation allows independent adjustment of each component to achieve various recording angles.
3Device complexity
If the support arrangement is designed for specific chair types, then the design is simplified, but it cannot accommodate different chair and recorder sizes
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting structure is designed to be universally compatible with different chair types, particularly chairs with support columns. The adjustable arm structure and holding arrangement can accommodate various recorder sizes and shapes, making the support arrangement applicable across multiple chair and recorder configurations.

AI summary
A video or image recorder support arrangement generally includes a horizontal arm structure, a vertical arm structure, a mounting structure, a connecting structure, and a holding arrangement. The mounting structure is designed to be detachably and rotatably connected to a support column of a commercial chair. The holding arrangement is positioned is designed to hold a video or image recorder. The horizontal arm structure extends essentially radially from the support column and permits the vertical arm structure to be freely moved about the chair to permit a user to record video or images of the head of a customer or of a commercial process performed by the user in a hands-free manner and from different angles or viewpoints.
