Adjustable Computer Furniture for Integral Display Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing computer desks do not offer user-selectable positions for integral displays, failing to accommodate users of varying heights and vertical orientations, limiting comfortable viewing of the display.
Innovation Solution
A furniture system with a base section, computer-peripheral section, and computer-support section that allows the integral display to be movably positioned, featuring a built-in power cord and computer-mounting mechanism, enabling adjustable height and angular alignment to suit user preferences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the computer desk is designed with a fixed horizontal display position, then the structure is simple and stable, but it cannot accommodate users of various heights or vertical orientations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed display position into a movable one. The computer-support section is configured to move relative to the computer-peripheral section, allowing the integral display to be positioned at selected user-display positions. This enables the furniture to adapt to different user heights and viewing preferences while maintaining structural integrity through controlled movement mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The furniture system is divided into distinct functional sections: a base section, a computer-peripheral section, and a computer-support section. This segmentation allows each section to be independently designed and adjusted, with the computer-support section capable of moving relative to the computer-peripheral section to provide user-selectable display positions without complicating the entire structure.
2Ease of operation
If the display position is made adjustable for different users, then user comfort is improved, but the structural stability and simplicity is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The computer-support section is designed to move relative to the computer-peripheral section, enabling adjustable display positions that accommodate different user heights and viewing preferences. This dynamic configuration improves ease of operation while maintaining structural stability through controlled movement mechanisms that preserve the overall furniture composition.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the computer desk supports only horizontal display orientation, then the design is simple, but it does not meet vertical orientation requirements of some users
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables dynamic repositioning of the computer-support section relative to the computer-peripheral section, allowing the integral display to be oriented both horizontally and vertically according to user preferences. This achieves multiple display orientations without requiring complex adjustment mechanisms by utilizing the relative movement capability of the segmented furniture structure.

AI summary
A furniture system is for a computer system having an integral display. The furniture system includes a base section. A computer-peripheral section is configured to extend from the base section. The computer-peripheral section presents a built-in computer-peripheral having built-in computer-peripheral wiring configured to interface with the computer system. A computer-support section presents a fixedly-attached computer-mounting mechanism configured to couple with the computer system in such a way that the integral display faces the user of the computer system. The computer-support section is configured to move relative to the computer-peripheral section in such a way that the integral display of the computer system and the computer system are movably positionable at selected user-display positions.
