Solution Overview

Problem

Existing jigsaw puzzle tables have fixed heights, which can be uncomfortable for users of varying heights, and require users to move around to reach all puzzle pieces, especially for larger puzzles, affecting user experience.

Innovation Solution

A jigsaw puzzle table with a rotating assembly that allows the puzzle board to be adjusted in height and orientation, enabling users to maintain an optimal viewing angle without moving, and includes a supporting structure that can switch between horizontal and inclined states.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the jigsaw puzzle table has a fixed height, then the structure is simple and stable, but users of varying heights cannot use it comfortably

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different user heightsVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a height adjustment mechanism that allows the puzzle table surface to be raised or lowered to different positions. This dynamic adjustment capability enables users of different heights to comfortably access the puzzle pieces without straining, directly resolving the contradiction between fixed structure simplicity and adaptability to varying user needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Area of stationary object

If the jigsaw puzzle table has a large bearing area for larger puzzles, then the puzzle playing capacity is improved, but the user's arm length is insufficient to reach the entire game area

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepuzzle table bearing areaVSAvoiduser accessibility to puzzle pieces
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates a rotating assembly that enables the puzzle table surface to rotate relative to the user. This dynamic rotation feature allows users to easily access puzzle pieces located at different positions on the large bearing area by simply rotating the table, eliminating the need for users to stretch their arms across the entire large surface area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Area of stationary object

If the jigsaw puzzle table has a large bearing area, then larger puzzles can be assembled, but the viewing angle range is insufficient to cover the entire game area

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepuzzle table bearing areaVSAvoiduser viewing angle range
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The rotating assembly allows the puzzle table surface to rotate, dynamically changing the viewing angle relative to the user. This enables users to view different portions of the large puzzle area from optimal angles, effectively expanding the usable viewing angle range without requiring the user to physically move around the large table surface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Ease of operation

If the user needs to move the puzzle position during gameplay, then accessibility to different puzzle areas is improved, but the user experience is degraded due to the need to physically relocate the puzzle

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccessibility to puzzle piecesVSAvoidtime spent moving puzzle
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The rotating assembly provides a dynamic mechanism that allows the puzzle table surface to rotate smoothly and easily. Users can access different puzzle areas by rotating the table rather than physically moving the entire puzzle, significantly reducing the time and effort required to access different sections of the puzzle while maintaining full accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
