Solution Overview

Problem

Existing solutions for securing objects to walls, such as large rig systems and adhesive strips, are inefficient in terms of space usage and reliability, and often leave residue when removed.

Innovation Solution

A wall fastening device comprising a mounting body with arm supports and a fastening panel that allows secure attachment of objects of varying thicknesses without the need for large rigging systems or adhesives, using a lightweight plastic design with a cylindrical shape and mounting aperture for screw fixation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If large rig systems are used to hold electronic devices on the wall, then the devices can be securely mounted, but the system takes up more space than necessary and requires lengthy setup time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecure mountingVSAvoidspace occupied
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting system is divided into separate functional components: a flat mounting plate for wall attachment and L-shaped brackets for device support. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, reducing overall complexity and space requirements while maintaining secure mounting capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention extracts only the essential mounting functions from complex rig systems, eliminating unnecessary structural elements. The simplified design uses minimal components (mounting plate, L-brackets, fasteners) to achieve secure device attachment without the bulk of traditional rigging systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Ease of operation

If adhesive strips are used to attach objects to the wall, then the setup is semi-permanent and easy to apply, but the adhesive may not create a proper bond between different materials and leaves residue when removed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of applicationVSAvoidbond strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting plate serves as an intermediary between the wall and the device, providing a stable mechanical attachment point. This mediator allows for reliable fastening through screws or other mechanical means, avoiding the material compatibility issues and residue problems associated with adhesives while maintaining ease of installation and removal

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If adhesive mounting is used, then the setup can be applied quickly, but residue is left behind that must be cleaned up upon removal

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation speedVSAvoidadhesive residue
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The invention extracts the mounting function from adhesive-based systems, eliminating the harmful residue generation entirely. By using mechanical fastening methods through the mounting plate and L-brackets, the system achieves quick installation without producing the cleanup burden associated with adhesive removal

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A mounting bracket for securing heavy objects safely to the wall. The present invention has a cylinder-shaped fastening body that has a hole running through the middle of the fastening body. The cylinder has a countersink on one end of the cylinder allowing the screw to maintain a flat continuous surface when fully screwed in. The cylinder has arms extending outwards off the cylinder with flat mounting surfaces at the end of the arms. A supporting body rests across the mounting surfaces to provide better support to a heavy object being hung against the wall.
