Window Fastening Structure With Hidden Anchoring for Secure Attachments
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fastening methods for functional devices on windows or doors, such as insect screens and shading devices, often result in insecure attachment, visible damage, and chemical reactions that cause unintended damage to the sash or blind frames.
Innovation Solution
A fastening device with an anchoring section screwed to the outer circumference of the sash or inner circumference of the blind frame, allowing for secure and reliable attachment without visible damage, using existing screw channels and avoiding the need for drilling or visible screws.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If screws are used to fasten functional devices directly to the sash or frame, then strong and secure fastening is achieved, but permanent visible damage is caused to the window or door
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening device is divided into two separate sections: an anchoring section that is screwed to the sash or frame, and a coupling section that couples the functional device. The anchoring section is positioned in the gap between the sash and frame, so that the fastening screws are hidden from both inside and outside views, while still providing strong anchoring.
Solution Approach 2:
The anchoring section acts as an intermediary element between the sash/frame and the coupling section. It transfers the fastening force from the hidden anchoring point to the functional device, enabling strong fastening without direct visible screwing on the window or door surfaces.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If adhesive is used to fasten functional devices, then no visible damage is caused, but the fastening strength is insufficient and adhesive residue removal is cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The invention replaces the chemical bonding mechanism of adhesives with a mechanical fastening system using screws. The anchoring section provides strong mechanical anchoring in the gap between sash and frame, eliminating the need for adhesives and their associated problems with weak bonding and difficult residue removal.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If hooks are used to attach functional devices, then no damage is caused, but the fastening is not very strong
Solution Approach 1:
The fastening device separates the anchoring function (providing strength) from the coupling function (connecting to device). The anchoring section with screws provides strong fastening, while the coupling section interfaces with the functional device, allowing strong attachment without direct hooking on visible surfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The anchoring section utilizes the third dimension by positioning itself in the gap between the sash and frame, rather than attaching only to the two-dimensional visible surfaces. This allows strong anchoring in an otherwise unused spatial zone.

AI summary
The invention relates to a fastening device for fastening a functional device to a window or door, which has a movable sash and a fixed blind or block frame. The fastening device has an anchoring section which is designed and intended to be screwed to the front outer circumference of the sash or to the front inner circumference of the blind or block frame in such a way that the anchoring section when the window or door is closed is in the space between the Wing and the blind or block frame is arranged. In addition, the fastening device has a coupling section which has at least one fastening element for coupling the object to be fastened and which is connected to the anchoring section and which is designed and intended to be positioned outside the space between the wing and the blind when the window or door is closed. or to be arranged in block frames.
