Adjustable Wall Mount Structure for Secure Low-Damage Display Installation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wall mounts for display apparatuses require multiple screw holes to be drilled into walls, which can damage the wall and create installation challenges due to varying wall materials and user environments.
Innovation Solution
A wall mount design featuring a mount holder with adjustable gap width, allowing for secure installation with minimal wall damage, and an installation method that includes a coupling bracket and stand for height adjustment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple screw holes are drilled in the wall to support and fix the display apparatus, then the display apparatus can be securely mounted, but the wall is damaged with holes and marks that cannot be restored to its original state
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a wall mount device as an intermediary component between the wall and the display apparatus. This wall mount includes a holder with a through hole that receives a mounting hole, creating a mediator structure that distributes the mounting stress and minimizes direct wall penetration, thereby reducing wall damage while maintaining secure mounting
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting system is segmented into multiple components: a wall mount holder, a mounting hole, and a display apparatus coupling mechanism. This segmentation allows the mounting function to be distributed across several elements rather than requiring multiple deep screw holes in the wall, reducing overall wall damage
2Reliability
If multiple screw holes are drilled in the wall to support the display apparatus, then the display apparatus can be fixed, but the installation process becomes complex with restrictions depending on wall material and user environment
Solution Approach 1:
The wall mount holder is designed as a universal mounting solution that can be installed on various wall materials (drywall, plaster, tile, etc.) without requiring different mounting methods. The through hole design with received mounting hole provides a standardized interface that adapts to different wall types, eliminating restrictions based on wall material
3Ease of manufacture
If the wall mount is designed with fixed structure, then the manufacturing is simple, but the mount cannot adapt to different display apparatus sizes and installation requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The wall mount holder incorporates a rotatable second fixing portion that can adjust the width of the gap between fixing portions. This dynamic adjustment capability allows the mount to adapt to different display apparatus sizes and installation requirements while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure, balancing manufacturing ease with adaptability

AI summary
A wall mount for a display apparatus comprises: a mount holder including a first fixing portion coupleable to a wall surface and a second fixing portion coupleable to the first fixing part; and a body including a coupling bracket coupleable to the display apparatus and a mounting hole insertable into and coupleable to a gap between the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion of the mount holder while the second fixing portion is coupled to the first fixing portion, where the second fixing portion is rotatable in a first direction and a second direction opposite the first direction so that a width of the gap is adjusted according to the second fixing portion being rotated in the first direction and the second direction.
