Self-Locking Instrument Stand Hook for Foldable Secure Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing musical instrument stands are inconvenient for storage and transport due to their rigid structure, lack of flexibility, and require manual locking, which can lead to slippage and damage of instruments.
Innovation Solution
A vertical floor self-locking musical instrument stand with a telescopic rod, folding supporting frame, and self-locking hook that uses an elastic device and driving lever to automatically lock the instrument under gravity, providing protection and buffering, while allowing for telescopic storage and easy assembly/disassembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a rigid structure is used for the musical instrument stand, then the stability and reliability of instrument positioning is improved, but the ease of storage and transport deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The stand is divided into multiple segments including telescopic rod sections, folding supporting frame components, and detachable hooks. These segments can be independently adjusted, folded, or detached to reduce overall size for storage while maintaining structural integrity during use.
Solution Approach 2:
The stand transitions from a static rigid structure to a dynamic system with telescopic sections that can extend and retract, and folding components that can change configuration. This allows the stand to adapt between a compact stored state and a stable operational state.
2Device complexity
If a simple interceptor is used to prevent instrument falling, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to rigid and inconvenient operation
Solution Approach 1:
The interceptor incorporates a self-locking mechanism that automatically engages when the instrument is placed on the stand. The elastic device provides automatic resetting functionality, eliminating the need for manual operation while maintaining simplicity in structure.
3Device complexity
If a vertical floor instrument stand is designed to hold one musical instrument, then the device complexity is minimized, but the adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The stand is designed with multiple hooks that can be independently positioned and adjusted along the telescopic rod. This allows a single stand structure to accommodate one or multiple instruments of different sizes and types, enhancing versatility without significantly increasing complexity.
4Device complexity
If manual locking is used for the musical instrument stand, then the device complexity is reduced, but the reliability deteriorates due to slippage and potential damage
Solution Approach 1:
The locking mechanism utilizes the weight of the instrument itself to activate the self-locking feature. When the instrument is placed on the stand, its weight automatically triggers the elastic device to engage the locking components, eliminating manual intervention while ensuring reliable securing.
Solution Approach 2:
The gravitational force that could potentially cause slippage is converted into a beneficial locking force. The instrument's weight compresses the elastic device, which in turn activates the locking mechanism, transforming the potential harmful effect into a secure locking action.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The stand provides secure, automatic locking and buffering for musical instruments, facilitating convenient storage and transport by allowing telescopic adjustment and flexible folding, reducing the risk of slippage and damage.
Implementation Method 1
an elastic device configured in the cavity, one end of the elastic device abutted against one end of the driving frame away from the connecting rod, the other end of the elastic device abutted against the inner wall surface of the hook housing
Implementation Method 2
uses an elastic device and driving lever to automatically lock the instrument under gravity

AI summary
The present invention relates to a vertical floor self-locking musical instrument stand and a self-locking hook. The vertical floor self-locking musical instrument stand is provided with a plurality of folding structures, which can facilitate telescopic storage and reduce the occupied space. The telescopic length can be changed as needed to be portable. Various components are flexibly connected and assembled. The height of the position can be adjusted as needed. The stand is equipped with a folding anti-collision component and a self-locking hook, which can better protect the musical instrument and prevent the musical instrument from bumping or falling. When the musical instrument is suspended on the self-locking hook, the self-locking hook automatically locks the self-locking locking arm under the gravity of the musical instrument itself, providing protection for the musical instrument suspended thereon.
