Arrangement, in particular for use as a hanging table
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing hanging table arrangements are inflexible, require specific ceiling mechanisms, and occupy significant space, limiting their use to rooms with compatible structures and being inefficient in space utilization.
Innovation Solution
A hanging table arrangement for motor vehicles that suspends from the tailgate, utilizing a hanging device and a support rod to stabilize the table, allowing flexible use in various locations and minimizing space requirements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a ceiling-mounted movement mechanism with winding mechanism is used to suspend the tabletop, then the tabletop can be stably supported and securely held, but the arrangement can only be used in rooms with compatible ceiling structures and occupies significant space
Solution Approach 1:
The support function is segmented into two independent components: the hanging device with winding mechanism attached to the tailgate, and the support rod that can be independently positioned. This segmentation allows the hanging mechanism to be mounted on the vehicle tailgate rather than requiring ceiling installation, enabling use in various locations without structural modifications.
Solution Approach 2:
The support rod acts as an intermediary element between the hanging table and the ground. It provides additional stabilization by resting on the ground while the hanging means suspends the tabletop from the tailgate, creating a hybrid support system that combines suspension with ground-based stabilization.
2Reliability
If two pieces of furniture on wheels are used to support the tabletop at the same height, then the tabletop forms a stable table, but the arrangement takes up a lot of space and requires specific furniture pieces
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the support function from traditional furniture pieces and transfers it to the vehicle's own structures (tailgate and ground). The hanging device and support rod replace the need for separate wheeled furniture, eliminating the space occupation associated with additional furniture while maintaining table stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The tailgate serves multiple functions: it acts as the mounting surface for the hanging device and simultaneously provides structural support for the suspended tabletop. The ground serves as both the support surface for the support rod and the base for the entire arrangement, eliminating the need for dedicated furniture pieces.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the tabletop is suspended from the open tailgate using hanging means, then the arrangement can be used flexibly in different locations and occupies minimal space, but additional support is needed to prevent tailgate closing and stabilize heavier loads
Solution Approach 1:
The support rod serves as an intermediary that transfers the load from the tabletop to the ground, reducing the burden on the tailgate and hanging means. This intermediary support structure enables the system to handle heavier loads while maintaining the flexibility of suspension from the tailgate.
Solution Approach 2:
The support rod provides counterbalancing support by resting on the ground, effectively counteracting the weight of the tabletop and its contents. This counterweight mechanism allows the tailgate-mounted hanging device to support heavier loads without compromising the flexibility or location adaptability of the arrangement.
