Segmented Lamp Base with Connecting Plate for Desk Placement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing floor lamps struggle to be set up effectively on desks with closed side walls, as their base cannot fit under the table, resulting in the lamp mast being too far from the tabletop, which limits space efficiency and illumination quality.
Innovation Solution
A lamp base with two detachable or adjustable parts and a connecting plate that allows the base to fit under desks with closed side panels, enabling the lamp mast to be positioned close to the tabletop, while maintaining stability through a secure connection and adjustable design.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the lamp base is designed as a single piece with a fixed base area, then the lamp base provides stable support for the lamp, but it cannot be placed close to desks with closed side walls
Solution Approach 1:
The lamp base is divided into two separate base parts (first base part and second base part) that can be detached from each other. This segmentation allows the base parts to be positioned on either side of the desk, with the mast passing through the free space created between them, enabling placement next to desks with closed side walls while maintaining stability through the connecting plate.
2Area of stationary object
If the lamp base is made compact to save space, then it can be placed close to desks, but it cannot provide sufficient support for the lamp mast
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting plate extends parallel across the floor between the base parts, utilizing the horizontal dimension to provide structural support. This allows the base to have a small footprint when assembled next to desks while the connecting plate spanning between base parts provides the necessary strength to support the lamp mast and counterbalance the overhanging lamp body.
3Illumination intensity
If the mast is positioned far from the desk to maintain base stability, then the lamp base remains stable, but the lamp body cannot illuminate the workspace effectively
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the base into two detachable parts connected by a plate, the invention creates a stable configuration that allows the mast to be positioned close to the desk. The connecting plate provides the necessary structural support to maintain stability even with the mast positioned forward, enabling effective workspace illumination.
4Stability of the object's composition
If the lamp base is designed with a large base area for stability, then it supports the lamp well, but it cannot fit under desks with closed side panels
Solution Approach 1:
The base is segmented into two parts that can be positioned on opposite sides of the desk, allowing the majority of the base structure to be located under the desk while the mast extends forward. This segmentation enables the lamp to occupy minimal space next to the desk while maintaining stability through the connecting plate structure.

AI summary
The invention relates to a lamp base for a floor lamp, which stands on the floor and supports an upright pole to which the lamp is attached. According to the invention, it is proposed that the lamp base comprises a first base section to which the pole is attached, and a second base section which is detachably or adjustably connected to the first base section such that a space is formed between the facing end faces of the base sections into which a furniture component fits, and that the first and second base sections can be connected to each other via a connecting plate which extends parallel across the floor between the base sections.
