Integrated Securing Profile for Screen Casing Installation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing screen casing installation methods for windows and doors are laborious and aesthetically unpleasing, requiring multiple securing profiles and means, especially when installed at a distance from the structure, and often necessitate multiple casings with varying depths.
Innovation Solution
A screen device assembly featuring a screen casing with integrated hook means that securely attaches to a beam-shaped securing profile, allowing direct hooking onto the profile without additional securing means, with the hook means being hidden from view, and optionally using screws for added security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple securing profiles and means are used to secure the screen casing to the structure at a distance, then the screen casing can be securely installed, but the installation process becomes laborious and requires multiple components
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple securing functions into a single integrated securing profile. This profile includes both structure hook means for attaching to the building structure and casing hook means for attaching to the screen casing, eliminating the need for separate securing components and simplifying the installation process while maintaining secure attachment.
Solution Approach 2:
The securing profile is designed as a multi-functional component that performs multiple functions: it secures the screen casing to the structure, provides aesthetic coverage of the space between components, and enables easy installation and removal. This universal design reduces the total number of components needed while achieving reliable securing.
2Reliability
If traditional securing methods are used, then the screen casing can be attached to the structure, but visible securing elements result in poor aesthetics
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the securing function from visible mounting hardware and integrates it into the securing profile itself through hook means. The securing connections are made through hooks that engage with each other and the structure, eliminating the need for visible screws, bolts, or clips that would compromise aesthetics while maintaining secure attachment.
Solution Approach 2:
The securing profile is designed to be visually appealing and can be made in colors that match or complement the screen casing and building structure. The profile itself becomes an aesthetic element rather than a hidden utility, with its shape and finish contributing to the overall appearance while performing the securing function.
3Ease of operation
If screen casings are installed directly onto the structure, then installation is simple, but no space is available for additional screens or minimalist profile requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from direct surface mounting to spatial mounting by positioning the screen casing at a distance from the structure. The securing profile spans this distance, creating a three-dimensional installation configuration that provides necessary space for additional screens, minimalist profiles, or other functional requirements while maintaining installation simplicity through the integrated hook system.
