Adjustable Screen Extender With Built-In Screen Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing screen extenders either require separate storage methods that occupy space or cause screens to shake and break, and they often do not fit various laptop sizes, leading to poor usability and damage.
Innovation Solution
A screen extender with a screen storage chamber, featuring pullable supports and detachable connecting assemblies, sliding rods and grooves, self-locking buckles, and adjustable structures to accommodate screens of different sizes, providing protection and flexibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If screens are stored directly in the screen extender, then storage convenience is improved, but screen damage risk increases due to shaking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a screen storage chamber with cushioning structures that are prepared in advance to protect screens during storage. The cushioning elements are positioned within the storage chamber to absorb shocks and prevent screen damage when the extender moves or shakes, resolving the contradiction between storage convenience and screen protection.
Solution Approach 2:
The screen storage chamber is designed as a nested structure where the screen fits within the chamber that is itself integrated into the screen extender body. This nested arrangement allows the screen to be stored compactly within the extender while maintaining protection through the chamber's cushioning design, addressing both storage convenience and damage prevention.
2Device complexity
If the screen extender is designed for a specific laptop size, then structural simplicity is improved, but adaptability to different laptop sizes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates adjustable support legs with telescopic structures that can be extended or retracted to accommodate different screen sizes. The support legs feature adjustable angles and lengths, allowing the same extender structure to adapt to various laptop dimensions while maintaining overall structural simplicity through a modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The screen extender is designed with universal adaptability through adjustable components that can accommodate multiple laptop sizes. The support structure includes adjustable arms and legs that can be configured for different screen dimensions, making a single extender design suitable for various devices without increasing overall structural complexity.
3Reliability
If separate storage methods (leather case or velvet bag) are used, then screen protection is improved, but workspace occupation and portability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the screen storage function with the screen extender body by integrating a dedicated screen storage chamber into the extender structure. This merging eliminates the need for separate leather cases or velvet bags, as the storage chamber provides protected storage space within the extender itself, thereby reducing workspace occupation and improving portability while maintaining screen protection.

AI summary
A screen extender includes a first support and a second support. The first support is connected to the second support. The first support and the second support are pullable with respect to each other. A first accommodating cavity is defined in the first support. A second accommodating cavity is defined in the second support. The first accommodating cavity and the second accommodating cavity are combined to form a screen storage chamber. At least one connecting assembly is arranged on at least one of the first support and the second support. The at least one connecting assembly is detachably connected to a screen. The first accommodating cavity and the second accommodating cavity form the screen storage chamber, so when the screen is not in use, the screen is detached from the at least one connecting assembly and is accommodated in the screen storage chamber.
