Adjustable display mount
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mounting systems for flat-panel displays lack adjustability and flexibility, limiting their ability to achieve optimal viewing positions and orientations, especially in applications like video walls where precise alignment and uniform positioning of multiple displays are required.
Innovation Solution
The development of adjustable mounting systems that allow for tool-free adjustments in multiple degrees of freedom, featuring a surface bracket, extension arm assembly, mount carriage, and device bracket assemblies, enabling independent translation and rotation of displays relative to the mounting surface, with components that can be extended for service access and aligned using spacers for uniform arrays.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional mounting systems are used, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the adjustability and flexibility are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is divided into multiple independent adjustable components including surface bracket, extension arm assembly, mount carriage, and device bracket assemblies. Each component can be adjusted independently to achieve precise positioning in multiple degrees of freedom, transforming a simple fixed mounting system into a versatile adjustable system without creating a single complex unit.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting system incorporates multiple movable and adjustable components that can be repositioned dynamically. The extension arm assembly can extend and retract, the mount carriage can move along the extension arm, and the device bracket assemblies can be positioned independently, allowing the system to adapt to different display sizes and mounting requirements.
2Ease of operation
If fixed mounting systems are used, then the device complexity is low, but the ability to achieve optimal viewing positions is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is designed to be easily adjusted by users without requiring specialized tools or expertise. The adjustable components can be repositioned and secured through simple manual operations, allowing end-users to achieve optimal viewing positions independently.
3Manufacturing precision
If adjustable mounting systems with multiple components are used, then the adaptability and precision are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mount carriage acts as an intermediary component between the extension arm assembly and the device bracket assemblies. It provides a standardized interface that simplifies the connection and alignment process, allowing precise positioning of multiple device brackets while managing the complexity of coordinating multiple adjustable components.
4Adaptability or versatility
If conventional mounting systems are used, then the ease of manufacture is high, but the ability to accommodate misalignment and surface variation is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system allows for adjustment of multiple parameters including the position of the surface bracket on the mounting surface, the extension of the extension arm assembly, the position of the mount carriage along the extension arm, and the positioning of device bracket assemblies. These parameter adjustments enable the system to compensate for misalignment and surface variations.

AI summary
A mounting system for mounting a display device to a surface, the mounting system adjustable in multiple degrees of freedom to selectively position and orientate the attached device relative to the mounting surface and/or other collocated display devices. According to various embodiments, a surface bracket is configured to attach to a mounting surface and an arm assembly operatively couples the surface bracket with a mount carriage. A mount bracket is movably coupled to the mount carriage and is selectively movable in a plane substantially parallel to the surface. A plurality of device bracket assemblies are coupled to the mount bracket. Each of the device bracket assemblies is selectively movable to translate, pivot and tilt the attached device.
