Wall-Mounted Bracket for Leveling Laser Using Existing Recesses
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Leveling lasers on construction sites often require a large, stable space for tripod installation, which is not always available, leading to difficulties in finding a suitable location, and existing holding devices require additional fixtures or attachments to the wall.
Innovation Solution
A wall-mounted holder for leveling lasers that utilizes existing wall recesses, such as those for climbing brackets or formwork panels, with a telescopic design and adjustable hook mechanism for secure and quick attachment, allowing the laser to be positioned without the need for extensive space search.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If a tripod is used to hold the leveling laser, then the laser can be stably installed, but a relatively large amount of space is required which is not always available on construction sites
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a wall bracket as an intermediary mounting structure that connects the leveling laser to the wall via existing wall recesses. This mediator enables stable installation without requiring the large ground space that a tripod would need, as the bracket transfers the mounting function from ground-based tripod to wall-mounted structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from ground-based tripod mounting (horizontal plane) to wall-mounted bracket installation (vertical plane). By utilizing the vertical dimension of the wall and existing wall recesses, the system achieves stable laser mounting without occupying significant horizontal construction space.
2Area of stationary object
If clamp tripods are used with wall openings, then the laser can be mounted without large space, but a beam or rectangular protrusion must be present or attached to the wall for the clamping mechanism to work
Solution Approach 1:
The wall bracket is designed to utilize existing wall recesses that serve multiple purposes in construction (for climbing brackets, formwork panels, etc.). By making the bracket compatible with these pre-existing multi-functional wall features, the invention achieves universal applicability without requiring specialized beam structures or protrusions to be added to the wall.
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket system utilizes the existing wall recesses and their embedded sleeves as self-provided mounting features. The wall structure itself provides the mounting interface through its existing recesses, eliminating the need for additional attachments or modifications to the wall to create clamping surfaces.
3Ease of operation
If existing holding devices are used that require attachments to the wall, then the laser can be mounted, but additional fixtures must be attached to the wall which complicates the setup process
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the mounting function from complex additional fixtures and integrates it directly into the bracket structure itself. The bracket incorporates the mounting capability by directly engaging with existing wall recesses, eliminating the need for separate attachment fixtures and simplifying the overall device to just the essential bracket and laser components.
