Adjustable Phone Bracket for Compact Storage and Gaming
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional phone brackets supporting smartphones and controllers are inconvenient for storage due to their large horizontal size when configured for gaming operations.
Innovation Solution
A phone bracket design with two controller supporting bodies and a mounting body, where the controller supporting bodies can be selectively positioned on either shorter or longer side surfaces to adjust the distance between them, allowing for compact storage or expanded use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the bracket is designed with large horizontal size to support smartphone and controller for gaming, then the gaming functionality is improved, but the storage convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket employs adjustable controller supporting bodies that can be repositioned between different locations on the mounting body. This dynamic reconfiguration allows the bracket to transform between a compact storage state and an expanded gaming state, resolving the contradiction between storage convenience and gaming functionality by making the structure adaptable rather than fixed.
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket is divided into separable components including the mounting body and detachable controller supporting bodies. This segmentation enables the controller supporting bodies to be independently positioned or removed, allowing the bracket to maintain a compact form when not in use while expanding to provide adequate space for gaming operations when needed.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the controller supporting bodies are positioned on the longer side surfaces to support large smartphones, then the smartphone support capability is improved, but the storage convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The controller supporting bodies are designed to be movable between different positions on the mounting body, allowing users to dynamically adjust the horizontal span according to the smartphone size. This dynamic positioning enables the bracket to provide adequate support for large smartphones when needed while maintaining a compact configuration for easy storage when not needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket allows users to change the positional parameters of the controller supporting bodies along the mounting body surfaces. By adjusting these parameters, the effective horizontal size of the bracket can be modified to match different smartphone dimensions, optimizing both support capability and storage convenience based on actual usage requirements.

AI summary
A phone bracket configured to support two controllers and a smartphone. The phone bracket includes two controller supporting bodies and a mounting body. The two controller supporting bodies are configured to support the two controllers, respectively. The mounting body has two first side surfaces and two second side surfaces. The two first side surfaces face away from each other. The two second side surfaces face away from each other and are located between the two first side surfaces. A distance between the two first side surfaces is shorter than a distance between the two second side surfaces. The two controller supporting bodies are respectively and selectively disposed on the two first side surfaces or the two second side surfaces of the mounting body so as to adjust a distance between the two controller supporting bodies and to allow the phone bracket to selectively support the smartphone.
