Swingable Clamp Arm Microphone Holder with Vibration Isolation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing microphone holders require strong pressing forces for operation, leading to inferior operability and potential collision noise, and suffer from long-term deterioration issues due to adhesive materials.
Innovation Solution
A holding device with an arc-shaped frame and swingable clamp arms that securely hold cylindrical bodies using a light operation, featuring magnetic locking and vibration isolators to prevent noise and slipping.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a forcedly fitting type holder is used to securely hold the cylindrical body, then the holding reliability is improved, but the operability deteriorates due to requiring strong pressing force
Solution Approach 1:
The clamp arm is designed to swing between opened and closed states, transitioning from a static forced-fit structure to a dynamic mechanism. The swingable connection allows the clamp arm to move freely during attachment and detachment, enabling easy operation while maintaining secure holding when closed
Solution Approach 2:
The holding device is divided into separate functional components: a holding frame and a swingable clamp arm. This segmentation allows the clamp arm to independently swing and close around the cylindrical body, providing secure holding without requiring excessive force from the user
2Reliability
If a forcedly fitting type holder is used to securely hold the cylindrical body, then the holding reliability is improved, but collision noise is generated during attachment
Solution Approach 1:
The swingable clamp arm closes gradually around the cylindrical body through its swinging motion, rather than making sudden impact contact. This dynamic closing process eliminates collision noise while ensuring reliable holding
Solution Approach 2:
The design inherently cushions the closing action by allowing the clamp arm to swing and gently engage the cylindrical body, preventing direct impact and collision noise before the holding action is fully completed
3Object-generated harmful factors
If adhesive engineering plastic is used to absorb shock and prevent collision noise, then the noise reduction is achieved, but long-term reliability deteriorates due to peeling off
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the adhesive-based shock absorption system with a mechanical swingable clamp arm system. The mechanical swinging and closing action provides shock absorption and noise prevention without relying on adhesive materials that peel off over time
Solution Approach 2:
The swingable clamp arm structure inherently provides shock absorption and noise prevention through its own mechanical design, without requiring additional adhesive materials or external components. The system serves its own shock absorption needs through the controlled closing motion
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
Enables easy and secure attachment and detachment of cylindrical bodies, such as microphone grips, without collision noise and with improved durability by using magnetic locking and vibration isolation.
Implementation Method 1
a vibration isolator which contacts the outer circumferential surface is provided at least at opposite ends of the clamp arm. Accordingly, the cylindrical body can be prevented from input of a vibration and an impact.

AI summary
In a microphone holder, a microphone can be attached and detached by a one-touch operation and to be securely held. A microphone grip is pressed into between clamp arms in a state where front ends are opened. This causes the microphone grip to press rear ends of the clamp arms to swing the front ends in closing directions. Thus, the microphone can be attached and detached by a one-touch operation without causing collision noise and the like.
