Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a traditional fixed puzzle table is used, then the structure is simple and stable, but the usage modes are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed, static table structure into a dynamic one with movable support brackets and a rotation mechanism. The support brackets can be adjusted between extended and retracted positions, and the entire table body can rotate on the horizontal plane, allowing the puzzle table to adapt to different usage scenarios and user needs while maintaining structural integrity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements universality by designing the table body to perform multiple functions: it can be used in fixed positions, rotated to different orientations, and adjusted to various angles through the support brackets. This multi-functional design allows a single puzzle table to serve diverse application scenarios, from children's play areas to adult gaming spaces, thereby improving versatility without requiring multiple separate tables
2Adaptability or versatility
If the table body is fixed on the ground, then the stability is high, but the adaptability to different environments is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent resolves the stability-adaptability contradiction by introducing a rotation bracket that allows the table body to rotate on the horizontal plane while maintaining structural stability. The support brackets provide stable support when extended, and the rotation mechanism enables environmental adaptability by allowing the table to be reoriented to different positions and angles without compromising its compositional stability
3Adaptability or versatility
If support brackets are added for multi-position support, then the adaptability improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the merging principle by integrating the support brackets directly with the table body structure, where the brackets are formed as integral parts or closely coupled components. This combination reduces the number of separate parts and simplifies the overall mechanism while still providing multi-position support capability, thereby improving position flexibility without proportionally increasing device complexity

AI summary
A puzzle table includes: a table body; a rotation bracket; and at least one support bracket. The rotation bracket is mounted on and is parallel to a bottom surface of the table body. The rotation bracket is configured to enable the table body to rotate on a horizontal plane. The at least one support bracket is rotatably mounted on the table body. The at least one support bracket has an in-use state and a folded state; when the at least one support bracket is in the in-use state, the at least one support bracket abuts against a placement surface; and when the at least one support bracket is in the folded state, the at least one support bracket swings to be substantially parallel to the bottom surface of the table body, and the rotation bracket abuts against the placement surface.
