Adjustable Wall Mount Bracket Assembly for Versatile Display Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display support systems are cumbersome, lack versatility in mounting options, and often fail to accommodate the weight of larger electronic visual displays, with unsightly cords and accessories visible, making them aesthetically unappealing and difficult to move between environments.
Innovation Solution
A modular display support system featuring adjustable beams, receivers, and mounting members that allow for secure attachment to walls or carts, with a counterweight ballast for stability and a retractable screen to hide rear components, enabling easy reconfiguration and portability while accommodating various display sizes and orientations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If displays are mounted to walls or carts using traditional hardware, then mounting stability is achieved, but the system lacks versatility across different environments and requires additional inventory
Solution Approach 1:
The display support system employs a universal mounting interface that can be attached to multiple surface types (walls, carts, tables) using a single bracket design. The bracket features adjustable mounting holes and adaptable connection mechanisms that work with various mounting surfaces, eliminating the need for environment-specific hardware and reducing inventory requirements while maintaining mounting stability across diverse settings.
2Ease of operation
If traditional carts are used to provide portability, then mobility is achieved, but the carts are boxy, cumbersome, and do not easily accommodate displays
Solution Approach 1:
The support system separates the display mounting function from the mobile platform, using an independent bracket assembly that can be attached to various surfaces including simplified cart structures. This segmentation allows the display support mechanism to be optimized for ease of attachment and adjustment without being constrained by complex cart designs, enabling portability through simpler, more adaptable mounting solutions.
3Reliability
If displays are mounted using fixed hardware, then mounting stability is achieved, but reconfiguration between environments becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket incorporates dynamic adjustment features including movable mounting holes, adjustable arms, and flexible connection points that allow the structure to be reconfigured for different mounting surfaces and display positions. These dynamic elements maintain secure, stable mounting through adjustable tension and positioning mechanisms while enabling easy adaptation between various environments without requiring permanent installation.
4Ease of manufacture
If rear components and cords are left visible, then accessibility is maintained, but aesthetic appearance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket design incorporates nested or layered structures where aesthetic covers or panels can be positioned over visible cords and rear components while maintaining access points for connectivity. The mounting hardware itself is designed to conceal unsightly elements through integrated channels and routed pathways, achieving a clean appearance without sacrificing the ability to access and connect display components when needed.

AI summary
A wall mount bracket assembly includes a first bracket having a vertical flange and a horizontal flange and a second bracket having a vertical flange and a horizontal flange. The horizontal flanges of the first and second bracket are adjustably coupled such that a gap defined between the vertical flanges of the first and second brackets may be varied, wherein the first and second brackets define a downwardly opening channel.
