Treetop support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional treetop supports fail to effectively match and securely fix various shapes and dimensions of treetop decorative pieces to Christmas trees, resulting in a poor fixing effect.
Innovation Solution
A treetop support system with a support body, support assembly, and adjustment assembly that includes pivotable support members and an adjustment portion, allowing for adjustable angles and shapes to accommodate different treetop decorative pieces, including conical, cylindrical, and prismatic structures, enabling secure fixation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a dedicated fixing support is designed for a specific treetop decorative piece shape, then the fixing effect for that specific piece is improved, but the adaptability to other decorative piece shapes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The support members are designed to be pivotable relative to the support rod, allowing the support assembly to dynamically adjust its configuration. Each support member can rotate about a pivot axis to change the angle and orientation of the support surface, enabling adaptation to various decorative piece shapes while maintaining secure fixation.
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustment assembly changes the positional parameters of the support members by displacing them along the support rod. This allows the spacing and orientation of support members to be modified, thereby adapting the support assembly to different decorative piece dimensions and shapes while maintaining reliable fixation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple support members are added to increase adaptability, then the versatility to match different decorative pieces is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The support assembly is segmented into multiple identical support members, each with a pivotable connection to the support rod. This modular segmentation allows the system to handle various decorative piece shapes through combinatorial arrangements of identical components, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining high versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
Each support member is designed as a universal component that can function in multiple orientations and positions. The identical design of all support members allows any member to serve any position in the assembly, reducing the number of different component types needed and simplifying the overall device structure while achieving broad adaptability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the support assembly is made adjustable to accommodate different shapes, then the adaptability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustment mechanism is designed to be self-servicing through simple manual operation. The adjustment portion can be directly manipulated by hand to displace support members along the support rod, and the pivotable connections allow automatic adjustment of support member angles when decorative pieces are installed, reducing the need for complex adjustment procedures.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of festival decoration products, and in particular, relates to a treetop support. The treetop support includes a support body, a support assembly, and an adjustment assembly. The support assembly includes a plurality of support members pivotably fitted on a support rod. Support surfaces of the support members are collectively formed as a support plane. The adjustment assembly is displaceably arranged along an extending direction of the support body. The adjustment assembly is fitted on a lower end or an inner wall of each of the support members, such that the support member is pivoted with respect to the support rod to adjust an angle of the support surface.
