Systems and methods for a frame hanging device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Hanging framed pictures or items on a wall is challenging due to difficulties in determining the correct placement of nails or hanging devices, often resulting in misalignment and unnecessary repositioning, which can lead to holes being drilled in the wall.
Innovation Solution
A frame hanging device with integrated hangers and a reusable measuring tool that includes horizontal and vertical measuring tools, allowing for precise alignment of the hangers at desired positions on the wall, enabling easy and accurate placement of frames with minimal steps and measurements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional nail or hanging device placement methods are used, then the process is simple, but the alignment precision and positioning accuracy deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions (measuring, marking, and hanging) into a single integrated device. The frame hanging device integrates a measuring tool with pre-marked dimensions and hanging hole positions, eliminating the need for separate measuring tapes and marking tools, thus improving alignment precision without significantly increasing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The device incorporates pre-marked measurement lines and hanging hole positions on its surface. These preliminary markings are prepared in advance during manufacturing, allowing users to directly transfer accurate positions to the wall without performing measurements during the hanging process, thereby improving positioning accuracy.
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple measurement and alignment steps are performed, then the positioning accuracy improves, but the operation time and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The device comes with pre-marked hanging hole positions and measurement lines already printed or etched on its surface. Users simply need to align the device with the frame and mark the wall at the indicated positions, eliminating the need for multiple measurement steps and significantly reducing operation time while maintaining high positioning accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The frame hanging device serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as a measuring tool, a positioning guide, and a template for hole placement. This multi-functionality allows users to complete the entire hanging process with a single device without needing to switch between different tools, reducing both time and operational complexity.
3Measurement precision
If precise alignment is achieved through multiple adjustments, then the hanging accuracy improves, but the number of wall holes increases
Solution Approach 1:
The device provides pre-marked hanging hole positions that are calculated in advance based on standard frame dimensions and hanging requirements. Users can directly punch holes at these pre-determined positions without needing to make multiple adjustment attempts, thereby achieving high hanging accuracy while minimizing the number of holes needed in the wall.
