Adjustable Tilt Mounting System for Flat Panel Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional flat-panel television mounting systems require multiple sizes to accommodate different devices, increasing complexity and design costs, and are often difficult to adjust and access due to their height in installation.
Innovation Solution
A tilt mounting system with adjustable guide mechanisms, featuring primary and secondary guide structures and a drive mechanism, allows for varying angles to accommodate devices of different sizes, enabling easy installation and adjustment by users.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple sizes of mounting systems are manufactured to accommodate different devices, then adaptability to various device sizes is improved, but device complexity and design costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system uses a universal base bracket design that can accommodate multiple device sizes through adjustable guide mechanisms. The primary and secondary guide structures can be reconfigured to support different display dimensions, eliminating the need for multiple specialized mount sizes while maintaining adaptability across various device form factors.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting system incorporates adjustable and movable guide mechanisms that can be reconfigured dynamically. The guide structures can be positioned at different orientations and angles, allowing a single mounting system to adapt to various device sizes and mounting requirements without requiring multiple fixed-size mounts.
2Area of stationary object
If ceiling mounted systems are used to contain televisions in commercial settings, then space utilization is improved, but installation and adjustment difficulty increase due to height
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system is divided into modular components including a surface mounting plate, mounting bracket, and adjustable guide mechanisms. This segmentation allows the system to be installed at accessible heights on walls while still achieving space-saving vertical mounting, and enables easy adjustment of individual components without requiring complete disassembly or specialized equipment.

AI summary
An improved tilt mounting system for mounting flat panel televisions and similar devices or displays. In various embodiments, at least one mounting bracket includes a plurality of guide mechanisms that are adjustable in orientation relative to each other. When the guide mechanisms are adjusted, the angle between guide structures contained therein changes. As the angle between the guide structures increases, the mounting system becomes more suitable for larger devices or display.
