Annular Stand Structure for Stable Electronic Apparatus Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing stand devices for electronic apparatuses often lack a simple structure that ensures stability and efficient support.
Innovation Solution
A stand device with an annular support member and an attachment member that attaches to the electronic apparatus in a first direction, featuring connecting sections and support sections positioned opposite to each other, allowing for a simple structure and enhanced stability through the attachment member's interposition.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a simple support structure is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the support stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The support member is divided into multiple functional sections: a connecting section for attachment and support sections for stability. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function efficiently, achieving both structural simplicity and support stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The support sections extend in a direction crossing the attachment direction, adding dimensional complexity to the support function while keeping the overall structure simple. This dimensional arrangement enhances stability without requiring additional complex components.
2Stability of the object's composition
If multiple components are used to ensure stability, then the support stability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment function and support function are merged into a single integrated support member. The connecting section handles attachment while the support sections provide stability, eliminating the need for separate components and reducing overall device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The support member serves multiple functions simultaneously: it attaches to the electronic apparatus through the connecting section and provides stable support through the support sections. This multi-functionality reduces the number of parts needed while maintaining support stability.

AI summary
To configure an electronic-apparatus support structure with a simple structure, and to ensure the support stability for an electronic apparatus. A stand device (1) has an annular support member (10), and an attachment member (20) that is capable of being attached to an electronic apparatus (2) in the up-down direction. The support member (10) has first and second connecting sections (11a, 11b) to which the attachment member (20) is attached and first and second support sections (12a, 12b) that are positioned opposite to each other with the attachment member (20) being interposed therebetween in a direction crossing the up-down direction.
