Adjustable television nook mount
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Many modern televisions, especially widescreen models, are too large to fit within traditional television wall nooks, which are often insufficient in width or height.
Innovation Solution
A television wall mount system comprising a first and second mounting plate attached to the vertical sidewalls of a wall nook, with a crossbeam and adjustable mounting bracket that allows the television to be mounted outside the nook, accommodating larger screens by using a crossbeam with a telescoping mechanism or scissor expansion for varying dimensions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a traditional wall nook is used for mounting television, then the mounting structure is simple and fits within the wall, but the television size is limited by the nook dimensions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends the mounting structure from a two-dimensional wall surface to a three-dimensional space by using a crossbeam that protrudes from the wall nook. This allows the television to be mounted in front of the wall rather than confined within the wall plane, effectively overcoming the width limitation of the wall nook while maintaining structural support.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the crossbeam is made adjustable to fit different nook dimensions, then the adaptability to different television sizes is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The crossbeam incorporates telescoping sections with extension mechanisms that allow the beam length to be dynamically adjusted. This enables the mounting structure to adapt to various wall nook widths and television sizes. The telescoping mechanism includes movable sections that can be extended or retracted to match different spatial requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The crossbeam is divided into multiple segmented sections that can be independently adjusted. These segmented sections are connected through telescoping joints, allowing each section to move relative to others. This segmentation enables flexible length adjustment while maintaining structural integrity, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity.

AI summary
In various embodiments, a television wall mount is provided that may be installed at a position in a television wall nook such that when the television monitor is bolted, screwed or hung on the television monitor mounting bracket, the television is located in front of and outside the television wall nook. In this manner, a television monitor that is too wide to fit in the television wall nook may be installed over the television wall nook by mounting the television on the television wall mount installed in the television wall nook.
