Strip Mounting Clip Structure for Low-Damage Wall Fixing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing strip mounting methods using adhesives and clips with screws cause damage to surfaces and lack sufficient operating space for hammering headless nails, and fail to maintain a good appearance.
Innovation Solution
A strip mounting system using a mounting clip and base connected by headless nails, where the hammered ends of the nails are shielded by the strip, providing a stable and damage-free installation with ample space for hammering and a good appearance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If clips with screws are used to mount the strip, then the strip can be firmly fixed, but the surface to be mounted is damaged
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the harmful screw head from the mounting system by using headless nails instead of traditional screws with heads. The mounting clip is designed to receive and conceal the nail heads, separating the fastening function from the visible surface, thereby eliminating surface damage while maintaining fixation strength.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies nesting by placing the nail heads inside the mounting clip structure. The mounting clip acts as a container that receives and hides the nail heads, allowing the nails to provide strong fixation while their heads are nested within the clip and not exposed on the surface, thus preventing surface damage.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If clips with headless nails are used to mount the strip, then the surface damage is reduced, but the operating space for hammering is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent resolves the space constraint by extending the mounting base beyond the strip edges in the lateral dimension. This creates additional operating space around the strip where headless nails can be hammered without requiring space above or below the strip, thereby providing sufficient hammering space while maintaining surface integrity.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If clips with headless nails are used to mount the strip, then the surface damage is reduced, but the appearance after mounting is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting clip serves as a housing that nests and conceals the nail heads within its structure. After mounting, the nail heads are hidden inside the clip, presenting a clean and aesthetically pleasing appearance while still providing the benefits of headless nails for minimal surface damage.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting clip acts as an intermediary element between the headless nails and the visible surface. It receives and conceals the nail heads, mediating between the fastening function and the appearance requirement, thereby achieving both minimal surface damage and good aesthetic appearance.

AI summary
Disclosed in the present application is a strip mounting system that includes a mounting clip configured to removably receive a strip; and a mounting base configured to be connected to the mounting clip and to be removably connected by headless nails to a surface to be mounted. In a state in which the strip is mounted to the strip mounting system that has been connected to the surface to be mounted, hammered ends of the headless nails are shielded by the strip. A strip can be stably fixed and easy to be taken out or replaced by the strip mounting system, with almost no damage to the wall when the whole strip mounting system is dismounted, a large enough operating space for the hammering of the headless nails during the mounting process, and the headless nails shielded by the strip, thereby providing a good appearance.
