Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Information handling systems face challenges in accommodating both VESA compliant and non-compliant display device stands, as existing mounting brackets are designed for specific configurations, limiting compatibility and flexibility.
Innovation Solution
A combination mounting bracket with a main bracket and an adjustable bracket, featuring retractable standoffs and a locking mechanism, allows for transition between compliant and non-compliant configurations, enabling secure mounting on both VESA compliant and non-compliant stands.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a mounting bracket is designed for specific VESA compliant configuration, then mounting reliability is improved, but adaptability to different stand types deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket employs dynamic standoffs that can transition between extended and retracted positions. When the standoff is extended, it accommodates non-VESA compliant stands; when retracted, it provides secure mounting for VESA compliant stands. This dynamic adjustment allows a single bracket design to reliably mount both compliant and non-compliant display stands.
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket changes the positional parameter of the standoff to adapt to different mounting configurations. By adjusting the standoff extension length, the bracket maintains proper mounting geometry and reliability for both VESA compliant (shorter standoff) and non-compliant (longer standoff) display stands.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a mounting bracket is designed for specific non-compliant configuration, then adaptability to non-VESA stands is improved, but mounting reliability and security deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The dynamic standoff mechanism allows the bracket to transition from a static non-compliant design to an adaptive system. When mounted on non-VESA stands, the standoff extends to provide proper clearance and alignment, then secures firmly when a VESA compliant display is attached, ensuring mounting security in both scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket is designed with multi-functionality to serve both VESA compliant and non-compliant mounting scenarios. The adjustable standoff configuration enables the same bracket to provide secure, reliable mounting for different stand types without compromising mounting security in either application.
3Adaptability or versatility
If separate mounting brackets are used for compliant and non-compliant stands, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention consolidates the need for separate compliant and non-compliant brackets into a single universal bracket design. The adjustable standoff mechanism provides the functionality of multiple brackets in one device, reducing inventory complexity and simplifying installation while maintaining support for both VESA compliant and non-compliant display stands.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the functions of separate compliant and non-compliant mounting brackets into a single integrated bracket assembly. By combining the adjustment mechanism with the mounting structure, the invention eliminates the need for users to choose between different bracket types, simplifying the overall system while maintaining broad compatibility.
