Rotatable Wall Hook Mount for Hidden Adhesive Tab Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Article support devices using stretch-releasable adhesive tape face challenges in easy detachment and reattachment, as the adhesive tape is often hidden by the support body, making it difficult to access and activate the stretch-releasing mechanism.
Innovation Solution
A rotatable and non-detachable connection between the support body and base allows the support body to be manually rotated from a position hiding the adhesive tape to one exposing the pull tab, enabling easy grasping and pulling to detach the device from the mounting surface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If the support body is used to hide the base and adhesive tape during normal operation, then the aesthetic appearance is improved, but the accessibility to the pull tab for detachment is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The support body is designed to be rotatable relative to the base, transitioning between a first position where it hides the base and adhesive tape for aesthetic purposes, and a second position where it exposes the pull tab for detachment operations. This dynamic repositioning resolves the contradiction between maintaining aesthetic appearance and enabling accessibility to the pull tab.
2Ease of operation
If the support body is made detachable from the base, then the accessibility to the adhesive tape is improved, but the risk of misplacement or loss of components is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of making the support body detachable, the invention employs a rotatable connection that allows the support body to move between positions. This dynamic connection maintains component retention while enabling access to the adhesive tape through rotation to the second position, avoiding the risk of misplacement or loss associated with detachable designs.
